I’m not going to say he’s lazy or doesn’t care, but he looks absolutely dejected. I don’t know if this is something to do with his personal life but there’s been something off about him in these past 5 games. I’d say this applies to most players on this team but him especially. Even though we were bad last year the spirits seemed to be pretty high.

Feels like Monty is sucking the joy out of some these young players. Ausar is still fresh, though. Crossing fingers for this nerd.

    Probably wants out LMFAO.

    seriously tho he hasn’t looked like he did year one, maybe just needs some more time to adjust.

    I think some roster changes are needed if he can’t get going soon. (Not implying Cade is the part that needs changing)

    I thought he looked sad, thought Ivey looked sad. Beef Stew was frustrated.

    We suck right now. It’s a long season, but whatever iso-ball kickouts and sloppy turnovers we’re running right now ain’t working. Give them a few weeks to gel, but we need a fire.

    I think he’s really feeling the pressure now that he’s fully healthy and this start of the season has just been horrid. I noticed just before the 3rd quarter 3-point fest/revival last night that the starting 5 all looked miserable and had given up (except for Ausar).

    Cade needs more support on offense, the spacing has been shit and when we play Killian-Cade-Ausar lineups or Ivey there’s just not enough jumpshooting threats to defend.

    This roster is bad, Weaver has done an awful job, and he’s going to have part with some of his coveted 2020 draft selections and ass reclamation projects before things will start to get better.

    Killian and Wiseman shouldn’t be on this roster even as bench reserves.

    Cade is really going to be this generation’s Grant Hill, isn’t he? He’s got I-75 eyes and probably can’t wait for his first opportunity to skip town.

      Grant Hill was a superstar in the making, Cade is one of the worst players in the league to receive heavy minutes by nearly all advanced metrics

      That’s a bit generous. Grant Hill was co rookie of the year and perennial allstar. One year even leading the league in votes. Cade ain’t that…yet and he may never be.

    One thing that’s not talked about much is Monty hiring Silas from the Rockets after he completely lost his locker room and the players were mocking him on the bench behind his back. Of course his influence is limited as an assistant, but the team looks listless and similar to those rockets teams of the last couple years.

    Feels like the 2022 Tigers when the whole organization was convinced the rebuild was over, just to bottom out even worse and win 69 games.

    Lol young kids are not conditioned to play 82 games and run with the fastest players they have ever played in their life on a bigger wider court.

    Conditioning can take some players a few years.

    He does look dejected. I’m sure it does suck playing with a bunch of guys who are functionally handicapped on offense.
