I know I said it last game, but this is the game the chickens come home to roost. Cade is due a bad game, and the Pistons, unless they are getting some players back, are gonna get wrecked.

Yep, a loss to get back to the tie with Orlando would be juuuuust fine. Hopefully a good competitive game but an expected loss.

Yeah, this one doesn't look good. Miami has been off for a few days and playing at home. We've still got multiple rotation players out and Cade is questionable.

If I were Casey I would hold Cade out. Just accept that we're going to be playing Lee for 42 minutes and will lose by 30+. It's one of those real ugly situations where you have to ask guys like Bey & Grant to pickup some spot minutes at PG just to get you through the game. Is what it is. Take the L and move on.

Pistons without Cade are unwatchable. Killian can run the offense, but there’s an extra defender everywhere. Lee can’t seem to do anything. CoJo is the most competent, but the offense grinds to a standstill in terms of pace. Not watching this massacre.

Only question will be whether we get dominated from start to finish or if the Heat come out flat. I wouldn't be completely shocked if we hang with them for a couple of quarters before they pick up their energy and blow us out.

i think they either blow us out from the gate and then coast in the second half letting us back in it a bit or they coast the first half and then blow us out the second half.

Joseph playing pretty poorly, especially on D. Terrible foul on Duncan Robinson in the act of shooting 3….

Well, you can see how this one will go. The Heat will shoot 36 FT's and the Pistons will shoot 10.
