Insane rebounding, mostly due to both teams being buns :lol:. And Cade had an unfortunate night with record breaking(?) FGAs. He didn't have many people to pass to, but I can't give him excuses, he has to trust the guys around him a bit more in situations like tonight. Taking that many shots is not winning basketball against any other team in this association. I mean, the Wizards took us to OT lol.

W Daniss Jenkins though. Sasser is gonna have to fight for his spot after his hip injury if he keeps this up.



Holy hell that was a brutal shooting performance by Cade. His TS% dropped from a meh 56.2% to 53.8% after tonight. He needs to clean that up but you got your win and the Pistons are doing awesome right now so it's tough to complain at the moment.


Yeah it was tough watching him play so out of gas. So many shots were hitting front iron. I was begging JB through the TV to sit him for the 4th quarter. I'd of had no problem losing this game if it meant protecting our guy. but that's why I'm sitting on a couch and not coaching lol, Cade played tired and we won.

You're seeing Wemby's potential. Shutting down defensively and scoring offensively. If you don't have a big that can shoot 3's you have no chance.

That's why the Mavs had no chance. You need to pull Wemby to the perimeter.

WEMBY YOU ARE UNREAL. 18 Points in the 4th and carried us home in a game we had no business winning. What a one-man comeback. GG Bulls fans.

Victor reminding the haters that he is HIM.

Though it is surprising to see Billy Donovan elect to guard him 1 on 1 the entire game

He also finishes +10 in a close 2 point win. As usual Cade comes through when it matters most.

Not only are they the Pistons two best defenders, but they allow Duren and Cade to play more to their own defensive strengths. Ausar and Stew make everything solid, which allows Cade and Duren to make plays without being as responsible to holding down the scheme.

Just give Victor the MVP now. Bet he wins it with a record number of votes too.

Lot of interesting games tonight in the NBA. Feels like every game has come down to the wire or gone to OT.

Spurs need to think about moving Sochan and Vassell, they're dead weight IMO. Sochan is basically unplayable against any well coached team, and Vassell thinks the offense should run through him.

Giannis should've left Milwaukee. What a sorry ass team they've surrounded him with.

It's a comical combination, that he essentially can be a 1 man zone on defense, and hit 5 threes on the other end. The amount of drives that just end in "nope" passouts are hilarious.
