He looks fine...😅

Cade in a mini slump right now.  Was not great against the Clippers or Boston and is off to a slow start tonight.  

[Hart]

Stewart has a bit of Ben Wallace in him with his timing and anticipation on defense around like rim.  Like Ben, he plays much bigger than his size.

Looked like a blowout loss brewing but scrapped back to be within 5 at half.

Pistons look flat.

[Hart]

They are going to need Beasley to bail them out tonight.  Ideally, Cade and Beasley both get it going.  

[Hart]

Not sure what is going on with Cade tonight but I didn't realize he still had a game this bad in him.  

[Tigeraholic1]

Whelp.. can’t win them all.

Was a good run. Let's start another 

[Hart]

I know Ivey has never been known as a great defender but this game is a great example of how important his growth on defense would be for us.  Murray is an extremely tough matchup for Ausar and we just have nobody who can guard him.  Cade expends most of his energy on offense and is not really built to be a shut down defender against guys like Murray anyway.  We experienced the same thing with Trae Young.  And we probably would have experienced the same thing with Jalen Brown if he wasn't injured.    

[Hart]

Stewart has done a respectable job on Jokic when he can stay on the floor.  And by respectable, I mean relative to how we look against Jokic when he is not out there.  He's just an impossible cover.  

[Deleterious]

Fairly standard for young stars to be inefficient.  Even more so if you are on a team with little to no talent.  As the talent increases his looks will get better which should translate to higher efficiency.
