FSN

Can we make it 6 in a row? Maybe we can turn the lights out in Georgia?

Here's something I can guarantee;

After this game, Cade will breathe a sigh of relief. Even though he tears up the Hawks, Daniels make his life extremely difficult in doing so.

In three games this season, Cade is averaging;

27ppg
7.7rpg
12.7apg
47.5%fg
27%3P

But, with 6.7TO per game.

Daniels plays some of the best defense against Cade.

This is also the first time the Pistons will be playing against this version of the Hawks, sans Hunter.

First time I've felt great anticipation for Pistons games in February since.... The Obama administration, first term (there was that one Blake year that was kinda fun but that team had no chance to do anything in the playoffs). An illustration of how bad a franchise they've been mixed in with how fun this team is.

No Hunter and no Jalen Johnson should help, but we'll see. Would be nice to get this one.

Daniels has such a knack for steals and this match-up will be interesting and a challenge for Cade, but I'm real excited about the Pistons, who have a 3-game lead ahead at #6. I just don't want the Pistons making the play-in and losing - that would be heartbreaking.. Always keeping my eye out for Orlando, Heat, and the Hawks want to be where we're at, so this would be a great win. Put Ausar on him like last game, and Trey threw in the towel pretty soon (despite a few 3's later on when it was too late)

Not to re-live the moment but didn't Trae have over 30pts and hit game winner on us last game? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you

Interesting, been about 2 months since he picks up two early fouls. Guess he was due

Tobias fell asleep on two defensive plays leading to 2 easy baskets.. Missed open shots... Tek is the odd man out and just isn't getting it done, and Ausar is only averaging 21mpg. I like that Cade has 0 turnovers against Daniels. Can't believe Beasley missed all 3 FT's, despite his 68% FT this year.

Someone please tell Blaha what a windmill dunk is. This is at least the third time this season I've heard him refer to a normal big dunk as a "windmill jam"
