Same.. And I want to see who loses minutes, and how we look with Bojan... Next month, Monte better be back. He just got his number retired at Beecher and going to guess he's not going to get a large contract in the off-season, so maybe he signs a very home-town deal. He fits what we need. A guy who can play point guard, get a ton of assists, 0 turnovers, play defense, shoot 3's at around 40% every single year.

You're asking for an MVP and we have an injured backup point guard. Might want to realign your expectations.

I have a feeling Ausar sits tonight and Bojan gets those minutes.

Cade + Hayes + Bojan + Stew + Duren as starters.
Ivey + Sasser + Burks + Livers + Bagley off the bench

Morris was the starting PG for two years on two teams better than ours. He's no star, but that puts him ahead of Killian.
Of course, a broken doorknob beats Killian on most days.

Dream:

Cade 32/Sasser 16
Ivey 32 / Burks 16
Bojan 20 / livers 18 / Ausar 10
Ausar 20 / Stewart 15/ Livers 13
Duren 32 / Bagley 16

Take away a combo of Stewart, Bags, and Livers music once Bojan is 100%.

Take away Sasser’s minutes when Monte is back.

I want to see Bojan and Livers start together with Stew as the back up 5 and Ausar as the main back up at 3/4.

Give all Bagley minutes to Stewart

Hell yes. This is the way

Monty on Cade playing off ball against Knicks: “I’m learning about this group as we go along, and I believe we can have more balance with Cade on and off the ball.”

Mike Curtis: Monty Williams says through the injuries they’ve learned about who they are and what they can do. On Bogdanovic’s addition: “We’re going to have a bit more fluid lineups.” Says Bogey is not going to play his full allotment of minutes just yet.

So who's ready for #17?

As there is absolutely nothing left to look forward to this season, may as well go for the record.

0% chance of playoffs.

0% chance of play-in.

0% chance of .500 record.

0% chance of 35 wins.

1% chance of 30 wins.

December just started. Worst Pistons season ever.

I want that record streak! (22 for Pistons all-time. 29 for league record.)

Any confirmation on Bojan the savior playing?

zeebneeb · Post #13 » by **zeebneeb** » Sun Dec 3, 2023 12:04 am

Bojan is playing. Starting lineup?

Cade
Ivey
Hayes
Stewart
Duren

Yeah, your reading that right.

whitehops · Post #14 » by **whitehops** » Sun Dec 3, 2023 12:04 am

it'll be interesting to see cade's and bojan's chemistry. in their short time together i feel like cade looked bojan off a lot, hopefully that's not the case tonight.

As goofy as it looks on paper, I think the 3 guards match up well against the Cavs starting 3 guards.

kreton · Post #16 » by **kreton** » Sun Dec 3, 2023 12:12 am

Alright looks like we are getting the turnover numbers up early

And helping the Cavs with the and 1.

vege · Post #17 » by **vege** » Sun Dec 3, 2023 12:16 am

Cade and Duren are abusing Cleveland's defense

zeebneeb · Post #18 » by **zeebneeb** » Sun Dec 3, 2023 12:19 am

I said in the last game Monty hit something with Cade off ball, and Monty has leaned HARD into it.

Cade off-ball for life yo.

Killian is playing well again.

best start we had in a while.
