Rooting for Detroit to be competitive and fiery in this series. Maybe Cade can have a coming out party too.

Reassuring that despite Cade getting doubled/not getting everything he wants that we do have other guys that can step up and score.

They are really trying to jump Cade and force the ball out of his hands.

Watching 4-7 games of Brunson snapping his head back on drives to try and milk the foul is going to be painful.
