It wasn’t no shot blocking at all
And when JD out stew can’t rebound and no defense either
I'm concerned . But it just second day of the season
Same shit from Cade. Can’t close games. Was 1/6 in the 4th. Tobias also showed why Philly let him go. He can’t do shit in the 4th either lol.
Again, this is a 28 win team at best
Schrödinger's Cade
Looks like Pacers lost James Wiseman for the year. How big a loss is that for them? Does that mean Detroit can better compete in the Central?
Ivey does better when he shoots more, especially with 3 pointers, so why is he shooting 2 of them in a game. In the pre-season there was 3 games ivey went 0-2 with 3's and he still ended with 52 percent, Ivey needs to take more 3 pointers than 2 to succeed. Cade went cold in the fourth took 6 shots, 2 points. Ivey shot 4 times and scored 4 points. The offense got stagnant because we didn't even try to funnel the ball to Ivey. Maybe he would've woken up in the fourth but everyone tried to play hero ball in the end
Fontechio and Stew…
Tobias was a bad pickup, Never wanted him to comeback. He lost this game for us by letting Siakam destroy him
The schedule does look brutal at the beginning. Yikes!!!
🏀We used Ivey as a spot up shooter in the later stages of the game. We’ve got to realize that Cade and Ivey are our 1-2 punch and the way the offense is ran needs to reflect it.
Stew has some of the worst hands ive seen since Aron Baynes
It’s earlier and the game was close but you have to win those 50/50 ball. Ku right defensively their work in progress.
Y'all trippin on Tobias. It's game 1 bro. He makes 1 open 3 he missed in the 4th and we win the game. I got faith he makes those later in the season. Ivey got away from what was working for him and tried to play like Mathurin with jumpshots. Ivey needed to pressure the paint because they couldn't stop him. We lacked go-to scoring otherwise. Zach Lavine or Ingram would have helped us close this game. With that being said, I like our chances to win next game regardless of who we are playing
I think we need to call Minnesota about Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
