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
It’s only been one night and I get that but I’m with you brother. I saw a lot of fight and we fought people hard last year, but we honestly should’ve won this game which says A LOT. Our first quarter/half turnovers killed us.
I was very happy to see that our starting lineup from the offseason (with no spacing) made no difference for Cade because he’s that good. I think they wanted Cade to build connections with players and work on certain stuff. Cade is daddy.
