Let’s all take a sec and appreciate that we finally have a coach that is holding our players accountable.
As much as I love Ivey and think he’s going to be a great player, the horrid defense and turnovers are things that need to be improved on if he wants to stay on the floor.
Hopefully Wiseman getting a DNP lights a fire under his ass and maybe he starts setting actual screens and playing some defense.
The Casey days are over, no more blatant tank jobs (at least hopefully not right after the ASB anymore) and no more BS on the court that our young guys get to play through for “development”. Development will come if our boys are playing high level basketball on a consistent basis. Praising effort, defense, and high BBIQ is how Detroit has always done it.
We are so back. Cade is Him. Go Pistons.
TLDR: thank god we’re not putting a circus act out on the floor every night anymore
Relax dude, it’s just one night. I am all for the hype believe me, but let’s just relax for a second.
What im hype about is the fact that our players are being praised for the right things and criticized for the right things… Im expecting 30 wins.
Sorry if I made it seem like I thought we were playoff bound, im just used to watching us stick around for the first half only to get the doors blown off in the 3rd quarter and we never recover
Edit: Im still gonna be realistic this team might not take a massive leap forward, but watching Casey refuse to take guys out that were making awful decision after awful decision was just hard to watch. Just happy we have a guy running the show that won’t let that fly anymore
I agree with you that Monty takes people accountable, and that we are in for a fun season. I just don’t want us to be the 15th seed again. I would be happy with 30 to 35 wins this season easily. If Cade develops into maybe an all star, that is all we can ask for atm. I just want to have fun watching the Pistons man. Also, that defensive play, where Cade swatted it, then Stew put on a defensive effort and then Duren blocked it was amazing.
