In the last four games, the current Pistons starting lineup with Cade, Ivey, Ausar, Stew, and Duren has posted:
124.5 Offensive Rating 112.7 Defensive Rating +11.8 Net Rating
Despite these solid numbers, the Pistons have lost by an average differential of 18.75 points per game in the last 4 matches.
They aren’t the issue!
He needs to start. Cade needs Ivey to take some of the offensive burden off him, and they need to play together to determine if the pairing works long term. The second Unit needs to figure it out on its own tbh. Hopefully Monte gets healthy at some point or Sasser and Burks stop sucking.
