Cade Cunningham on Pistons Snapping their 28-Game Losing Streak, Full POSTGAME Interview



Cade Cunningham on Pistons Snapping their 28-Game Losing Streak, Full POSTGAME Interview

Question the smile on your face right now it’s been a little over two months since describe feeling in your heart right now I feel amazing oh man I feel amazing yeah this my first time trying not to just be you know cheesing right now in this interview but I feel good it

Was it’s been a long time coming so don’t want to go back to where we were what did you see see in your team tonight just to battle and finish this one out it was close all game but you’re able to play that solid 48 minutes you

Guys yeah I think that’s what it was we just were solid for longer um 48 minutes is what we’ve been preaching and we’ve had slips that we’re just digging ourselves too deep of a hole but this game just felt like solid throughout um we had a couple lapses but we picked

Them back up picked ourselves back up a little bit faster than we have been so I think that was the key to the game I asked mty about that while he was just up here can there be like the irony and it takes us most teams learn to win in

The playoffs or or trying to get into the playoffs but you guys had to learn while going through something that no team was going through before the complete opposite right and this is probably you said the best 48 minutes you guys have played you guys haven’t really ended games poorly the last few

Which just maybe been the second quarter like do you think there could be some irony and learning how to win by trying to end yeah that was the message like when we got into the foul game later on and they hit a couple shots um and then

It got tight got back to four like even then we hadn’t been in a situation like that in a long time where we’re up and we’re trying to hold on to a lead and in the game so um I think moments like that are are important to know how to win

Games you know what I’m saying so man I mean we just kept battling it’s been a long long stretch all these losses man but um I’m just happy to be a part of a group of guys that don’t quit and bring it every day and still you

Know stay positive and uplift each other it’s cool to be around that so I couldn’t be happier for the group money said there was a sense of Rel in just what was that like for you from your perspective I mean it’s been weighing on us heavy everywhere we go for two

Months which is unreal you know I’m saying for it to have been that long so I mean it was like I said it was a long time coming something that we have been pushing for for so long um and so to finally get over that hump like I said I

Mean we’re not trying to go back now it’s now it really begins where we see who we’re going to be um and if we’re going to continue to play with that same fire that we’ve been playing with and if we’re going to continue to stay together

And and try to put full 48 minute games together you said after the Boston game that winning just one game um how do you botle this up and take it on this West Coast trip we got to keep the same fire I mean at the end of the day that’s our third

Win um so we’re not anywhere close to where we feel like we should be we dug ourselves a a deep hole but we just you know day by day try to get ourselves out of it um and this was a good start today against a good Toronto team um that

Smacked us last time we played them in Toronto so it was a good win for us to bounce back get this one and now we take take it to Houston and try to keep it going big for J tonight just tonight just team control the yeah he was huge for us

Um it feel like he had his his double double early uh yeah I mean his presence is is huge for us um he does so many things so um he’s going to continue to do that for us and you know love to have him it’s so

Easy to play with him so it’s fun man it was a great win yeah what was the energy today was energy today different coming off of that Boston game where you mentioned after that you got to go into a game that you can’t win and obviously

They’re like the best team in the league do you think that that said maybe a new tone today to build off of that yeah I thought I think the energy was up like we wanted both wins but um the first group our starting unit we started slow

Tonight so uh I think that was a little bit different we started really well in Boston and tonight we started slow and our bench came in they really picked us up um which was huge for us and then from there we kind of maintained it but um our bench really brought the energy

For us and then second half we were just solid since you’ve been in the league Alec Burks has done nothing but big shots and he’s gone through his last month and a half just not really anything like himself as a young guy like what if you said to him if if at

All if anything at all to to try to just make sure you guys show that still believe him yeah I mean like he always says he always says always comes back around with anything you know so um you know I mean I always say that to him I call him all

Buckets uh cuz I mean like you said since I’ve been in the league when he was with New York I didn’t like playing against him and so to have him on on the squad that’s what he does to score the ball so um that’s something that even

Through the slump I trusted in him anytime I throw it out there I trust him to knock down shots cuz that’s what he does so uh it was only right that it came back around and in a big moment for us how much of a difference is it

Playing with spr for someone like you uh I mean for me someone that operates primarily out of the middle third of the Court um it definitely helps um it helps me and JD’s pick and roll a lot I think you know having a longer rotation for guys that want to

Come in and help on us so you know there’s pros and cons to to that I think on the other side of the floor um on defense it makes everybody have to lock in on defending and rebounding the ball but you know spread Court helps everybody in the NBA thanks good

  1. Cade you been good all season, and it’s really not fair to say this at this stage of his caree, but for this team to compete Cade gonna have to play like a superstar! His last 5 or 6 games have been phenomenal, and the loosing is actually making him a better more focused player!

  2. You lose 5 straight and depression starts to kick in. Great job by everyone on the Pistons for staying positive

  3. NBA soft af nowadays… this is a #1 pick? Not a single fucking chance a team with young #1 pick should make history for the biggest losig streak. Draft classes are dead nowadays. Gen Z lazy af.

  4. Don't be fooled Cade! Pistons will destroy any success you might have in your career if you stay. Demand a trade now!

  5. I hope that win against the Raptors fuels the team and win games in a row. I'm so happy for them and rooting them to win even though I'm not a Pistons fan.

  6. This is so sad, look at how happy they got a win. Acting like they won the championship. Kobe would clown this so hard.

  7. Cade will be a superstar, but he will never be a champion with this kind of mentality. You are geeking because you got 1 win? Omg, is that where they are at now? Winning 1 game in a losing series got u like this? The rest of the nba don’t take this team seriously.

  8. The optimism here is infectious. Sounds like he’s really chosen to learn from this low-point and is going nowhere but up from here! 💪🏻
