Just saw a stat that said OKC could have gone scoreless for the last 21 minutes of the game and still would have won.

I don't understand Jerome over Hunter.

So it wont be Amen.

One other problem in the PnR. When Cade can turn the corner the Knicks have at least one guy waiting for him. So he is essentially going against 3 defenders. The Pistons can counter that by setting their screens closer to half court. Right now they set screens at or around the 3PT line. Watch what the Knicks do with Brunson. They set their screens a good 10 feet closer to the mid-court line than Detroit. If Detroit did this it would give Cade extra space and time before having to deal with that third defender. Opens up passing lanes, gives Cade space to maybe go by that defender, etc. Right now he comes off the screen and its very crowded, and he has no time/space to operate. -
The amount of times OG was able to get between Cade and the screen setter is amazing. Cade and Duren have been in the league 4 and 3 years and they still don't have a clue how to run a PnR. Duren sets his screens too low. Cade goes too high off of the screen, so OG has a ton of space to slide between them and blow up the PnR. KAT doesn't have to hedge on Cade because of it and that means Duren has no space to roll to the basket for the lob. Cade needs to go right at Durens shoulder that is basket side. As he gets there he needs to flair back to the other shoulder, touching Duren as he does it. That eliminates the gap and OG has to follow Cade over the screen, which means KAT now has to hedge, or go under it and that opens up the 3PT shot for Cade.

Nice drive from Charles. A bit depressing it took 5 races to get Ferrari's first podium. We have a new leader in the WDC.

Memphis loses by 60+ without Bagley.

That was a good no call.

OKC should have to play their G-League team in game 2.

The defensive numbers for each player. It shows the numbers that were put up by the players they were guarding. I wouldn't take this as gospel. For example, Jalen Duren spent the most of his time guarding Hart. It wont show how bad he was at rotating and/or protecting the rim.
-
Duren deserves every bit of criticism he is receiving. But that doesn't excuse the perimeter guys from the terrible job they did on defense. Brunson was able to turn the corner and get downhill anytime he wanted. The only reason he didn't go for 40+ is because of how bad he shot in the 1st half. He missed a ton of easy/open looks in the first half. He shot 4/15 in the first half. It wasn't just in the PnR either. Plenty of times he was just beating his man one on one.
-
The Knicks shot 84.6% from the restricted area in the 4th quarter. They made 11 out of 13 shots.

Charles was a half second faster than Hamilton in qualifying. Carlos has now qualified higher than Hamilton in the last two races.
-
Yep.

Best lineup tonight by +/- was: Beasley, Cade, Stew, Schroder, and THJ at +5 Worst lineup was: Harris, THJ, Beasley, Duren, and Cade at -15. Individually the worst player was Duren at -20 followed by Harris at -16. Not a shock there. Stew was the only + player at +8 but he had the advantage of not playing the end of the 4th.
-
That doesn't sound good.
-
As bad as Cade was, if they play defense they win this game. They can win scoring 112 points a game. They can't win giving up 123.
-
9:16 left in the 4th quarter, the Pistons were winning 98-90.
-
4th quarter shooting: Harris 1-2 THJ - 0-3 Beasley - 1-4
-
21-0 run my bad. Mr All NBA can't let that happen.
-
Their star > our star tonight. THJ, Beasley, and Harris were great in the 1st half. All three were brutal in the 2nd half. Cade wants to be the man he cant let a 15-0 run happen. I know some of it was with him on the bench. But he needs to grab the ball, clear out, and get a bucket to stop the bleeding. This was the game to steal.
-
The defense has been just as bad as the offense.
