we get to see some very familiar faces with reggie jackson, marcus morris and luke kennard coming to town. it might be a little weird to watch because right now reggie, morris and kennard all get heavy minutes so it could be like a "what if?" scenario...

looks like most of the same guys will be out with hayes having a chance to come back:

Read on Twitter

it's an afternoon game and just a reminder that it's DST/spring forward or whatever you call it so this game is sooner than you think!

Excited to see the motorCade again. Last game against Boston he was masterful for 3 quarters.

In Cades last 10 he has been averaging;

22ppg
7.4rpg
5.6apg

Cade is due for a stinker game. Hes had 6 straight 20+ games, and as a rookie, he has to have some duds.

Anybody that is "doubtful" or "questionable" should absolutely not play. Zero reason to even consider it right now. In fact once they are fully cleared give it 3 more days just to be sure.

3 more days, or 3 more games?

:lol:

I want to watch the team win while Cade is brilliant, and wins the ROY, and at the same time, end of season is so close, and a top 5 pick hangs in the balance...

We are so late into the season, wins do not matter.

It’s time to go get that high lottery pick.

it'll also be nice to get a good look at isaiah hartenstein, he's a UFA this off season and could be a potential add as a backup C.

I get this argument in terms of the pick, but Cade developing winning leadership skills is just as important. He's better than anyone on the Clippers roster (who is actually playing today), Pistons are at home, and they should take this one.

Just keep cheering for Orlando and Houston.

I get this argument in terms of Cade’s development, but who would Cade be leading to victory? A handful of guys playing today are possibly not going to be here next season;

Bagley, Pickett, Lee, Grant, etc.

(Not saying they won’t be here, just that they POSSIBLY won’t be here)

Nice to see Bey hit an early 3. This is the 3rd or 4th game in a row where I'm preaching the importance of getting him going early. Maybe this will be the game where it happens.

I don't even care that he's missed a couple; I'm just happy to see him looking for his shot today.

Yup Cade will gain more by having a slightly higher chance at getting Jabari/Chet to go with him for the next 10 seasons then winning these games at the end. We can still try to win and just shut down the Grants and other vets though.

Damn didn't know they had a game this early. Looks like Cade is off to a good start again

Feeling like Livers is earning himself a rotation spot for next season. Diallo and Livers as the backup 2/3 could be solid.

Man we're so lucky we got Cade

MotownMadness · Post #18 » by **MotownMadness** » Sun Mar 13, 2022 8:09 pm

You can tell how everyone now fully accepts this is Cades team. Should help us out the gate next year with everyone already understanding their roles.

So we fixed our center issue, just play Grant there. Now we need a guard and another forward.

Yup, and the name of the game now is to 100% commit to building the correct team around him, and not of something cute, or stupid. Cade is the quarterback of the team, without question, so get him the receivers he needs.

Damn good quality bigmen are the order. Man id kill for Smith, or Chet in the draft.
