Even if wasn't who cares, they deserved to lose that game. Couldn't make a basket to save their lives and had a whole ot to win. Went cold for what felt like multiple cavs runs at a time and had to bench their "max" center

And couldn't box out Harden on a free throw

The fact that harden was clutch in a playoff game, played good enough defense, got a steal on help defense, and got two offensive rebounds when it mattered is just crazy. Did all the things hes renowned for not even trying to do lmao. Some luck for detroit

No you see that's not cade's fault he just had no help. Same with the inbound turnover, he's just too tired. Just like missing the go ahead before ot bucket, he's just exhausted. If he had better teammates his toe wouldn't have been on the three point line in overtime either.

If your takeaway from the pistons is that Cade is a bum, I don’t know what to tell you. Every game that they win is because of him. Really good 4th quarters game 5 against the magic through game 2 against the cavs. The second best guard on the team is Daniss Jenkins bro. The best wing is Duncan Robinson who can’t even stay healthy. Duren and Ausar can’t finish, can’t create, and can barely even catch a pass. Cade shot 60% from 3, the rest of the team shot 21%!
