Hopefully JB is going over this with Stew. Can't have him getting suspended over some nonsense with a horrible team.

Yes, I feel like Stew needs to have a little more control, although I think the technical call he got the other day was unfair.
I hope the team gets the win today; these victories against the same team are never easy.

Wiz have nothing more to lose, so imagine this is chippy. Need composure.
Either that or give Paul Reed an under-the-table bonus check and tell him to take out Marcus Smart early. That works, too.

Having Ivey back(provided he's at 100%)before the playoffs start would be amazing.

Re: #67 - Pistons-Wizards - 7pm ET
There is a move Cade has been increasingly doing, and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed.
After a defensive rebound, when Cade is bringing the ball up the floor, he gets into the running lane of the opposing center on purpose, allowing Duren to get ahead, sprinting, opening up the lob, or pass down low for an easy layup/dunk.
I thought perhaps it was just a one-off, but after having watched some replays, yeah, he's doing it on purpose for sure. Its an interesting idea for sure.

My only concern is they immediately insert him into the starting lineup. That would disrupt the teams current chemistry. Bring him off the bench for the rest of the season.

Provin Ya'll Wrong!!!

Classic 2k move. Works all the time because opposing players don’t help, and opposing AI helps but then leaves a shooter open.

That's not happening He's just barely been cleared to shoot a basketball in an empty gym. And only stationary shots at that. He's got a lot of rehab time left with under a month to go in the season.

Ivey running and shooting simple catch and shoot shots is great. No making cuts or anything contact wise yet but I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was back doing 5 on 5 full contact basketball sometime in May.

I’ve definitely noticed. Chris Paul really made that move popular, putting the center in “jail” and creating a quick 2 on 1.

Actually, it's more of a Sam Cassell thing. And Chris Paul took it a step further since he was much more pnr heavy than Sam was.keepitrealhomes wrote:zeebneeb wrote:There is a move Cade has been increasingly doing, and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed.

Some definite NSFW content possible there. That man is definitely a trash talker (and dancer!).

His confidence is a big help to the other guys. It also gets the crowd roaring.
