we really struggled against the magic's size and the cavs are just as big. even if markannen is still out they start 6'9 dean wade in his place.

it'll be interesting to see if grant is back tonight...

Jerami Grant has been ruled out for tonight's game for "conditioning" which has been pretty common for us for players coming back from Covid. He'll likely play Tuesday against New Orleans.

Dear Cade, pls play well so I don't have to listen the dedicated haters on the general board be obnoxious

Pistons coming off an embarrassing performance. Cavs coming off a statement win blowout of the full strength Bucks. I like Detroit to cover in this spot. +8 or 7.5.

Rookies that only play 1 year in college, usually take their first year in the NBA to become consistent. Rookies back in the day used to have 3-4 years of college to prepare so when they hit the league, they hit the ground running. This is why Doncic's rookie year was so good as well, years of pro league level games.

For Cades age, and responsibilities, he is doing amazing, and has had games they show just how good he is going to be. Don't worry about the obnoxious people who more then likely don't even watch many NBA games to begin with.

People who bash rookies usually don't watch a ton of basketball to begin with.

Mobley and Allen have so many advantages over Bey and Stewart.

Bey needs to shoot a ton of 3s and keep Mobley away from the basket, then make 50% of them.

Getting absolutely destroyed

The draft and off-season can't come soon enough. Need bigs, athleticism, shooting.

Hahahaha - Weaver smoking the good stuff thinking Stewart was a good choice for a Center. Getting man handled not by the Cavs Center, not by their PF, but their SF would be the best big on the Pistons right now.

yikes at this start casey shouldve put garza at the 5 with bey at the 3 and stewart at the 4 we're paying for being undersized.

15-0 start for Cavs in just 4 minutes of play. It's lob city out there. Cavs on pace to win 180-0.

They're so much better than us its ridiculous. Once again we didn't come ready to play tonight. Same thing when we went down 20 in the last game early.

That trade is looking very questionable

Going to give it a few more minutes and then might just turn on the Rams game to watch Stafford try to get to the super bowl.

Is this the worst start to a game for us this season? Looking overwhelmed

bstein14 · Post #20 » by **bstein14** » Sun Jan 30, 2022 11:25 pm

Lyles - Stewart - Bey - Diallo - CoJo would be a solid bench unit. Cade is really out there starting with 4 bench guys. Even Bey, with his defense, is best suited to be a bench guy unless he's going to commit a higher effort on that end.
