So everyone is just running this 3 man action with 2 shooters at the corner?
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Is it me or does it feel like there is zero hype for this game?

So Pistons’ idea of building around Cade is to surround him with multiple 4s and 5s?

Wonder what they want for Duren as a Laker fan?

Re: Saturday 11/1 NBA Game Thread
Keep switching between the Mexico game and Game 7 of The World Series (go Blue Jays)
Super Sunday for sports here in Melbourne (despite the Celtics losing)
Btw I still think a team with strong Hispanic ties with its fan base like The Spurs should be taking part in the Mexico game.

I think the idea is to be patient.

Apparently The Lakers/Pelinka asked about Duren's services last summer and the Pistons hung up the phone straight away.
Would have thought he is Detriot's second most untradeable player (after Cade)

Re: Saturday 11/1 NBA Game Thread
Personally as a Piston fan I wouldn't move him for almost anything. Having him as a duo with one of the leagues best passers in Cade is amazing, and Duren is one of the best finishers in the game, while shooting 80+% from the line.SlimShady83 wrote:76ciology wrote:So Pistons’ idea of building around Cade is to surround him with multiple 4s and 5s?

Now some other Piston fans would seemingly trade him for a ham sandwich.
Depends on who you ask.

That makes sense. I also think Ivey’s return will be a big boost.
If I were the Pistons, I’d lean into more 2–3 guard lineups with Ivey, LeVert, and Cade, maybe even mix in Sasser for extra pace and spacing. That would open up their offense. Then they could rotate their frontcourt duos with Ausar-Duren and Holland-Stewart.

Warriors letting Klay go is one of the best moves in the last 10 years.

Ivey has actually grown into a really good 3-point shooter, 40+%.kane0801 wrote:76ciology wrote:So Pistons’ idea of building around Cade is to surround him with multiple 4s and 5s?

His shooting, driving, and ball handling have been sorely missed.
