Great fukking win and great games from everybody pretty much I expected a loss without bagley but Kelly o cooked and so did Bey. Cade was dog walking the hornets in the fourth too

Good win. Definitely needed to snap that losing streak to Charlotte. There playing good ball lately

Bey so got damn streaky. Looks like a strong ass Chris Middleton when he’s on.

Hayes has his moments. But should be looked as backup pg for foreseeable future

Still not buying Cade as primary PG. Hate Luka/Harden iso dominant ball. Needs someone else to help with ball handling (Brunson, Ivey)

Hornets are a sad team. You can tell them nikkas just gonna be flashy but never win nothing for the next 5-7 years.

the boys are definitely piling on the competitive losses / unexpected wins

I don't think they plan on him playing Luka ball, and his offensive versatility allows him to play off the ball too. It's just that Hayes is not the nikka for Cade to be paired up with. I can see him fitting with Ivey for a backcourt that can attack in several ways. But I can also see Cade working with Chet, Paulo, or Smith. And therein lies the beauty of Cade's. It can mesh with plenty of playing styles. Haven't been this excited as a Pistons fan since the Going to Work Squad. So many possibilities.

Once they max Bridges their locked into treadmill status.
Which is the conundrum because on one hand I’d love miles on this team but on the other I hope hornets over pay him and are stuck so we have one less team in the East to worry about in the future when we want to be good

He is bad at finishing around the rim, doesn’t play good enough defense really, and his shooting regardless of the numbers is streaky imo if he isn’t open. If he gets better at finishing he’s gonna be tough. I had no fear with him touching the ball in the fourth or overtime last night though. He could have won the game when he stole the ball from Kill but he seemed so eratic he didn’t realize he had enough time to drive or even plant his feet for that shot. Good player but he got a long way to go to be this generational guard people claim. He’s a solid pg though, amazing passer.

Everybody had a long way to go in their second season.

I think he’s straight but if you just looked at stats most night you’d think he was this game changer. He was pretty much a non factor in the fourth and overtime last night besides that steal. Had a one on one possession with Cade on him and got clamped. When he has a mismatch he’s tough but Hayes and Cade are good enough and quick enough to stay with him.
