This is my first time truly watching the Pistons during this losing streak and now I can see why they're in this situation.
Monty's coaching is very suspect compared to his Phoenix days obviously he was coaching superstars and future hall-of-fame players so it was easy to look good when in reality he may not have been that good. He reminds me of Bickerstaff in Cleveland...another coach that looks good because of the team assembled around him but in reality he ain't really that good.
Cade is the only guy on the roster who plays like an actual pro. That's why the Celtics focusing all their defensive attention on him, not just because he's the best player on the floor for Detroit but because he seems like the only guy on the roster (outside of the two vets) that knows what he's doing.
