I've wanted to see Cade/Sasser consistently. As mentioned in the pre-game going against Gobert and a great team will be hard for Duren's return, but 3 of my preferred starters will make this game interesting.

Yeah, in theory I like Sasser/Cade with Ivey as the 6th man. It's hard to picture us actually making a move that bold.MortSahlfan wrote:I've wanted to see Cade/Sasser consistently.

Good first quarter, despite all our easy misses... In the last couple games, we were down by 20 in the 1st, scoring a league-low 10 points, and tonight we're playing the best defensive team.

W or L I hope we trade Ivey in the offseason. Cade needs to play next to a shooter. Hopefully we dont get the 1st pick so we can draft Sheppard.

Our best half of basketball in a while... Going to take a big half from Duren, Cade and Sasser for us to stay in this one and keep it close down to the wire.

Metu's looking like a rotation player.

It's crazy how many guys not playing on a nightly basis are clearly better than a lot of the players we've played heavy minutes the past few seasons.

Of course. Weaver compiled the worst roster in the league by far.

This roster is a travesty but at least Cade is capable of having a OK game

19 of your last 22 posts are about Grimes or his knees. Might be time to admit you have a problem.

Re: Game 73 - Pistons @ Wolves - 8pm ET
You guys seeing what the Rockets are doing? 10 straight wins 37 wins on the season. Their doing this all after they lost their best player Sengun.
Literally is zero reason they should be that good while were still this bad. Their GM made aggressive signings in Brooks and FVV signings which myself and many thought were bad. Good GMs are capable of making aggressive moves that others question that work out. This is why GMs get paid millions of dollars its not to just sit back and do nothing but lose every season.
Also they signed the right coach.

Before that he was stuck on saying that we needed to sign more big men or something similar. Literally a one-track mind.

Good game until Monty took out the entire startling line-up in the 3rd.

Same thing that was preached with Drummond. He was so busy trying to work on things that he was never going to be good at that he neglected the things that he could be good at and never progressed as a result.
Every time I see Duren dribbling the ball up court or trying to dribble around a defender crashing into the net, I get those serious Andre vibes. Lets hope he doesn't continue going down that road. Didn't see the game last night so can't comment on what he did against Minny, just a general observation about Duren.
