Ivey is a much more complete player than I thought. His one on one defense is his biggest flaw but his rebounding as a guard is great, gets alot of steals with his quickness. He’s probably been a better passer than Cade so far.

Cade found his mid range game and then these good teams took it away. His ceiling depends so much on if he can shoot. His shot is fukked up right now. These flat jumpers just keep rolling off rim.

Legit when Cade doesn’t have an arc on his shot you know it’s not going in idk what’s with his effort

Why isn't Cade playing? Is he hurt?

Edited: Never mind, just found out, he has left shin soreness injury.

Time for Bey to go to bench. You would think he would ball out with Cade out but no. Bey and Bogdanovic can’t continue to play together because their so bad defensively and on glass. Bogdanovic shooting the lights out so he deserves to keep starting. Start Bagley and Stew. Need Bagley length and athleticism to help Stew

Ivey is a Westbrook clone to me. Relentless. Definitely has that it factor

Pistons are 6th best defensively defending the 3 :krs:
2nd worst team in opponent OREBS :beli:

3rd to last in 2s and 2nd the last in 3's. This is a bucket getting league and defense doesn't matter if your guys cant make buckets that literally every other team is making.

Casey preaching defense is fine but it's pointless if your team isn't set up to rebound the ball as well. If you're going to give Stewart the oppty to shoot, it's time to put him with duren or bagley in the lineup because If you look at pure stats, Cade and Bey from the 3 is holding the team back as well. Bog and Livers are the only respectable shooters on the team with Stew making a few on low volume.

Time to put Bey or Bog on the bench. Bog at the 3 defensively is not worse than bog at the 4 too old and slow to get rebounds.

Bey needs to either go to the bench or be traded to a team that thinks he still thinks he has potential to be more than a stand in the corner guy….because that’s what he is ultimately.


Ivey reminds me of Lebron (strictly ball-handling) in the way that almost all of his drives are direct ..he’s so quick that he can still turn the corner but when he can’t it’s ugly.Lebron would just overwhelm ppl with his physicality until
Pop exposed it …Ivey needs to add some wiggle to his game and then he’ll be impossible to stay in front of and his game will
Take an obscene leap

i mean Bey getting to the line a ton, shooting high 80s too. Also think he should get back to taking open threes but he’s expanding his game as everyone else is

He been expanding for a while now …He’ll have to get his offensive game up to Bojan levels before he can begin to think about being a net-positive because he don’t play defense OR playmake . ..I’ve been off him.

I’ve definitely soured on Bey. I think Livers is better fit with starters. Better defender and consistent shooter. Bey so hot and cold. Low IQ player. Passing up open shots to take worse ones. Taking too many off balance shots. Driving to rim with no real feel for playmaking. I know whenever he drives he is not passing to anyone. Bey should model his game after Bogdanovic

FA crop next summer is weak but could definitely see Weaver packaging Bey to get a better complimentary piece
