Game 49: Pistons @ Sacramento 10PM EST

Cade doesn’t play enough games to be worth a big money commitment.

There. I said it. Tired of watching these pasted together lineups.

Yup. I'm kinda done with his weak ass.

Both guys out again, and its just demoralizing for fans.

Who cares anymore?

I might say Bojan being out is a sign a trade is coming. But that would mean acknowledging Killian playing is a sign he’s not on the move.

And I’m not ready.

So we’ll just assume Bojan is actually hurt.

[ComboGuardCity]

I’m fine with Cade not playing every game if he’s not 100%. Plenty of season for him to play with Ivey

[MotownMadness]

That Sasser guy is pretty good

[ComboGuardCity]

Can Killian make a right handed layup? That was the most 8th grade layup I have ever seen lol

It could also be slightly strategic because we have a back-to-back in Portland tomorrow that is much more winnable than a game against the Kings. Not to mention sitting your two highest usage players gives everyone else a bit of a better last look right before the deadline.

I'm sure they both could play if it were meaningful but if they have slight soreness it makes sense to not push them on a back-to-back.

Before we drafted him I seen a interview where he credited being vegan with helping him stay healthy and fighting inflammation. Now that hes in the pros and constantly injured I'm gonna take the other side and say maybe he should try eating some meat.

Sure.

But he’s not 100 percent enough.

[ComboGuardCity]

That roll man layup was Leonard esque

[MotownMadness]

Hopefully Ausar is good

He was playing great out there

[ComboGuardCity]

That rolled ankle was also Leonard esque hope Ausar is ok.

[Snakebites]

Ausar got hurt?

My god. I don’t care whether we set the loss record. This is the most miserable season in NBA history if he’s out.

[guldakot]

At this point just blow it up and rebuild around sasser ausar and Duren, I love Sassers game.

[MotownMadness]

The best we can hope for is that Ausar and Sasser are getting good mins the rest of the season

[buzzkilloton]

Sure seems like were a better team when Cade is out

[ComboGuardCity]

Killian Hayes farewell tour

[NYPiston]

Again, the Pistons look better without Cade. I don't know whether to be encouraged or discouraged by this.

I'll give Weaver credit for one thing, Sasser was a nice find and it took a trade up to get him so nice job by Weaver. Seems like the Morris trade was made specifically to pave the way for Sasser.

Yep, he's an injury prone player that doesn't play winning basketball yet there's talk of him getting a max contract. That's mostly based on draft pedigree and some empty stats tbh. I say this as somebody who has been a Cade backer generally but I'm just stating the reality of his career thus far.

[buzzkilloton]

Pistons Net rating without Cade -3.6. With Cade -11.1. Thats before this game.

[Snakebites]

We’re better without Cade trying to be Luka Doncic.
