Jrue Holiday looking great this year. Much better than Simons.
4 quarters with no turnovers for Cade is huge.
Cade 3 ball not there like tail end of last season.
There is no way Caris is healthy to play.
Good on Ausar trying to shoot again.

Bad shot. But I think he got in his head last minute—“like oh shit, oh shit I have to make it”.
I will be shocked if we don’t see Levert and Duncan in trade rumors on 12/15.

Pistons going to combine their contracts and ship off somehow.

Hope it isn’t for MPJ.
Pistons need a George Niang type.
I think he is still injured. He isn’t mobile at all.
Caris LeVert has been awful on defense tonight. Very late, seemingly very unaware
He is used to playing in a system with better ball movement and next to other good shooters like Herro.

Don’t look at Tek-19 numbers for Heat. Unless if you want to be sad
I don’t know how the Pistons going to stop these Magic bigs at the basket without fouling them.
Goga looks like prime Marc Gasol out there.
Duncan fall off. It is like 1 out of 4 games is a decent shooting, otherwise, nothing.
Ron Holland defensive intensity may cost him minutes. Minutes he needs to gain experience.

It is a tricky situation
This isn’t the same team that went toe-to-toe with knicks in R1.

They seem to be burdened by living up to expectations than having fun.

It is more like “oh gee, I hope they don’t say we look not as good this year”.

It feels like a few more frustrating losses and we will see the sad puppy face.
He has a ton of promise. Likely drafted higher than he should. But I am saddened by the outcome
Last year, before injury, Maxey was killing it with even less help. Putting up major stats.

And in general, Maxey is a far better 3 level scorer than Cade. As is Lamelo.

Cade is talented, very skilled. But he has as much talent around him as any of healthy those teams.
He has. I look at what Maxey (or Ball) does with injured teams and limited help—but Cade simply doesn’t score like he should. His turnovers are a problem.

But overall, he is not playing like a top 5 guard. Cade should be able to drop 40 points if it calls for it.
I don’t want to sound of the alarms, but look at Cade and look at Maxey—it is a star driven league and Cade should be doing what Maxey is doing.
Pistons haven’t looked great so far this season.

Not by a long stretch. And everyone needs to be better. Cade needs to be better.
Maxey is back. Might reset the PG hierarchy in the NBA.
Peacock did a good job (repeatedly) talk about the Pistons missing THJ and Malik….

This team offense is a bunch of scraps.
Why are the Pistons masochists for coming back from deficits.
They are asking Tobias to play like Giannis or Julius Randle out there

It isn’t going to work.
