No Cade is now really getting to be a concern. Something seems strange about this, like something is being hidden from the fans or something.

But how can that be though if Cade himself thinks he can play? I mean, if the injury is worse than we are being told Cade would know this as well and better than anyone, yet they are saying he feels he should be playing.

Well, another preseason game not to care about. Ill echo others in starting to get just a touch concerned that Cade isn't playing. I know that they don't want any issues for opening night, but these preseason games are important to get into game shape, and speed.

Hopefully this doesn't mean his injury is worse then they are letting on.

Damn I was hoping we could see Cade tonight. He needs some time on the court. Now this talk of his people and the team coming up with a plan? A PLAN?

Killian concussion protocol

If Cade says he feel fine then it's not logical to believe the team is hiding something more serious. It would be the other way around; the team would say it's not serious and the player would say it seems more serious, he doesn't feel right, and won't play.

It's preseason. And Cade's a basketball player, not a doctor. No matter how he feels if the team doctor has concerns about Cade playing based on what he sees and suggests being cautious, the team should be cautious.

This isn't an elimination playoff game where your banged up star player needs to be on the floor even if he isn't 100%. This is a preseason game and a rookie #1 draft pick. If the team has concerns he shouldn't play, and I certainly echo that sentiment.

This team is boring and gonna be really bad this year

I just don't like Saben Lee. He shows no signs of being a point gaurd, more of a guy who is constantly trying to get into the lane, and score.

Not a floor general in any way shape or form.

Good. Another high draft pick.

Stewart looks like he regressed

Pressing. No point guard. Ugh

True, no arguing with the doctors and coaches, so what they say goes. I just hope he is ready to go for the opener

Saben wouldn’t have taken that three last year. Good to see.

Both Jackson's looking good, we got a couple good young players in those guys

FloridaMan78 · Post #18 » by **FloridaMan78** » Wed Oct 13, 2021 11:54 pm

The Jackson’s trying to create is painful to watch, they should be strictly finishers.

I've said it before, and ill say it again;

The Pistons bench was the highest scoring in the league last year, and its only gotten more robust. if the starters, which includes Cade, improves just a little bit, the team is going to win a bunch more games then last year.

Now it's just a question of actually having a freaking starting lineup...

Damn I wanted Sims, he’s a bruiser, ugh.
