Cade Cunningham dropped 43 points on 66 percent shooting, playing what is likely the best game of his career; despite this, the Detroit Pistons still lost to Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks. How can the Pistons lose if their #1 pick played that well? What went wrong?

could it be that monty is the reason everyone seems to have regressed? except for killian and cade, that is.
I really wish we would call Houston about Cam Whitmore. I'd give Utah whatever they want for Lauri Markkanen too
Who wants Stewart?
You really got the Stephen Silas vibes going on in Detroit. Congrats on his accomplishment of being part of the coaching staff of the team longest losing streak again (Houston (2020), Detroit (2023), Bobcats (2011). Thankfully we got Ime now. It's really is cold in the d 😂.
Who gives a sweet fvck if Cade scores 143 points his team stlll lose its 24th games in a row. Pistons will not win no more than 10 games the entire season. Good for Cade but his team and the coach is PATHETIC!!
What we we giving up for Tobias Harris. If we Cade dump Stewart and/or Bagleyin that trade without giving up a draft pick or core fourin all in.
Slander against Cade was growing the last week or so, very happy to see him cook tonight, his TO’s have been way better the last few weeks too. Hope they get him some help soon so he hits that next level of his development.
Cade has had two of his most efficient all around games of the season without Stew bogging down the offense with his quicksand shows and remarkably slow/poor decision making. If this team can somehow find a functionally offensive 4 so we can move Stew to the bench where he’s far more effective, that would be a good starting point toward building a competent roster.
If only he was this aggressive every game maybe the losing streak would stop.. not saying he need to drop 40 every night but just be aggressive man you was the #1 pick for a reason..
Cade has good players around em I just don’t understand how we keep losing. I’m knowing we need Jalen duren back
0:02 – yay, it’s about time. He actually got me 80+ in fantasy. For the folks saying he was the next Luka, I was expecting these numbers much sooner. This certainly helps his trade value, if that’s a consideration.
Ausar Thompson only scored 2 pts that’s why we lost 😢
Cade was great today, loved watching him ball out just wish we had the dub!
If we’re gonna help Cade out. Your man livers should never see playing time again. burks should be traded along with a couple other guys for some bench pieces that can actually get us some buckets. I would like to see lavine with Cade but doubt he would wanna be in Detroit and probably would be pissed the whole time he’s here.
Monty stated a few games ago that he was learning how to play people like Ausar, yet he still plays Ausar with his hands tied behind his back.
Dumb management
Pretty good game. Burke and harris shooting was depressing smh. Kelly oubre would of made a big difference.
They are paying only one person on the 20M and all the rest lower! The NBA told the front office the must pay for a better product for the fans. The pistons are cheep and cheat the fans.
KU clown AGAIN shows how much he hates Bojan. Not even a mention. Crappin on how Cade gets no help? What the hell is 25 points on 53%. Man your podcasts are getting more horrible by the post. Keep hating. Give Cade a goodnight kiss.
When people like Bojan are able to make space for Cade but get no recognition. Its all Casede lol. Yeah, we saw enough of that this season and how ppl like Killian made his life easy. Buuuuu Kuuuuuu!
Jeremy Grant
Man Cade is a future superstar PLEASE 🙏🏾 DETROIT DONT WAIST THIS OPPORTUNITY, he’ll fxck around and leave in free agency in 3yrs smh if the front office doesn’t produce help for him this stretch of basketball is totally UNACCEPTABLE idc whose in this team they’re all PROS this is a result of problems behind the scenes and it needs to be resolved immediately!!!!!
there a chance to win if hayes and stewart not playing, hayes has on and off games, stewart terrible paint defender, terrible forward center, terrible three point shooter, pls more playing time for wiseman.
Alec Burks and Joe Harris: two good shooters giving you ZERO offense. Neither guy has hit a 3 this entire streak. They are ICE COLD. Why are they both broken? Burks especially, can’t even get a foul call anymore. What happened to them?? They are both SO WORTHLESS.
I'm impressed by the fact that Cade has only checked out 1 game, out of this 26 game disaster! He deserved this win!!!
Gotta realize that Cade may just be getting his legs. Fans don't understand that Cade took almost a full year of basketball off.
Cades game was FILTHY tonight. Seriously complete composed game. He didn't seem gassed, locked in. This is what I want to see more of. More locked in mindset, even if he didn't score 40 even if it was 15 I want to see this. What I loved maybe it's a product of being locked in, he passed a lot better and lot less lazy especially out of all the doubles. With more time? Sky is the god damn limit.
I want to see sasser play more. He's à seriously solid player that has skills and with more time I think he could be DAMN good on both ends, more so offensively.
Pick and roll defense especially with switching was god awful
I said this a few times for this team to win they need CADE and Bojan to average over 29ppg nightly. We have no other player on this bench that can give us 20ppg night, we hope it was IVEY but his game isn't there with the minutes he getting. And we need better rebounding and defenders, we do need to trade for a help side defender and someone that can rebound like crazy.
Proof Stew has to go.
