At least Hayes didn't exit with an injury.

This not being addressed is actually pissing me off. It's obvious to us, obvious to other teams and their coaches, but yet nothing is done. Force Casey to hire an offensive coordinator or something.

When the lead gaurd drives there should be a ton of movement, but there is none. Its ISO ball to the extreme and insanely easy to gaurd.

Damn it.

Yep. It's one thing to draw the defense knowing you're going to kick it out to an open man. The Pistons consistently draw the defense then are struggling trying to find an open man because they were never intending to pass it back out.

Killian Hayes is playing hard on defense, I wish he could do something on offense, but as long as he is playing hard on defense I am fine.

This team needs to run its ASS OFF to negate Casey's highscool offense.

Also what a move by Cade!

That Cade take was so pretty. Crossover and spin and up and over the shot blocker. Really excited when you get to see moves made like that.

Even when they pass, one player probes, then backs out, passes, next player probes, till shot clock runs down then try a bad shot. There is simply no movement as a team, no cutting, very few screens and most of them are out screens just hoping they can shoot a 3. I have seen them do proper movement before, against the Nets and Toronto, but then they revert back to staying around. And Casey can make them move, but he isn't and I believe he does it for the love of the 3 shot.

We went 14 of 47 against Sacramento, that living, then dying for the 3. You don't keep forcing something something that isn't working. The 3 pointers should come in rhythm, and most of the time from in to out.

Cade is realizing he's the number #1 option now, looking great

Props to Garza. He's the bench dude who always looks sincerely happy for his team mates when they do well.

Truth & I love it. Don't defer, be the man.

Can someone explain why Grant camps out at the three-point line and just get in the way of Cade. sick of this offense

You gotta dunk that, Stew. Go up strong.

MotownMadness · Post #38 » by **MotownMadness** » Thu Nov 18, 2021 12:33 am

Cade has skill as a first step, he doesn't have a problem getting past his man when he wants

Play that man Hami!!

And a couple of Cade's shots barely came out, he'll hit a few this game from long range.
