Huge win to start a tough road trip and end the mini losing streak. It's all about Cade. He plays well and they are competitive with most teams.

I like JB going with Holland and Thompson here. Up 12 with under 5 minutes left they don't need offense.

Great pass by Holland. Sasser having a nice game. Bench has played well while Cade has been out.

Pistons up 10 to start the fourth. Cade has 32.

6 minutes into the third and Cade already has 13 in the quarter.

Well, they pissed away the lead with a bunch of turnovers.

I swear that was four turnovers in a row. Three from Cade and one from Thompson. Ugly quarter.

Come on Cade. Two consecutive times down the court and he couldn't get the in the post entry pass correct either time.

You regret not taking the pistons money line when Stew is hitting turn around baseline jumpers.

They are looking at Holland. He was limping pretty bad.

Pistons up 40-29 after the first quarter.

Ron Holland makes a three and three lights go off.

When you are one of the most athletic people on earth but still only second best at Thanksgiving.

Wouldn't offend me at all if Cade decided to drop about 84 on Green.

Sounds like Carrie Underwood was the big winner today.

It is going to be a very long year.

If I was to take a flyer on an oft-injured player, I think it would be De'Andre Hunter. The rumored price is supposed to be a 1st round pick + an expiring contract (THJ would do). So offer them a 2029 or 2030 pick with lotto protections. He is a great 3 and D type. Excellent size at 6'8" 225lbs. Not a great defender but I would consider him to be a plus defender. Able to guard the 3 and also offers some position versatility. He can guard smaller 4's and slower 2's. Excellent shooter. He averages 37% from three for his career. He is shooting 42% this year and on volume, over 6 attempts per game. He has sort of reproduced those numbers in the playoffs. Only 16 games (551 minutes) but shot 40% from three. Not just a shooter. Can get to the rim a little bit, with some mid-range game as well. He is scoring 19 PPG off the bench. He is the guy that will beat Beasley for 6MOY so he has some game. Problem is, he is always hurt. He doesn't even average 50 games a year. But man, the talent is there if you can keep him on the court for 70 games a year. And he is a perfect fit for what we need.

No injuries for Detroit other than Ivey. Smith is out for Houston and Amen is questionable.

Probably not. But I understand why people would. What is the best case scenario? He stays healthy but that doesn't put them over the hump to win a title. It doesn't even let them approach the hump. Then you have to replace him in 2-4 years due to his age.

Kraken is a popular place to trade this stuff. https://pro.kraken.com/app/trade/trump-usd There are zero regulations. Hell, some little kid made a meme coin not long ago. https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/22/24303149/teen-streamer-dumped-quant-meme-coin-doxxed Young people almost look up and worship these scammers a bit. The Paul brothers (One fought Mike Tyson) have been accused of multiple rug pulls and people still love them. Odds are they were involved in the Hawk Tuah girls rug pull since her podcast was on the podcast network the Paul brothers own. But they are still insanely popular on social media.

Trump meme coin is cratering. Why you ask? Because the first lady just released her own meme coin and that is taking the liquidity away from Trumps coin. I'm going to go kill myself for even discussing this.
