I disagree. I believe the players when they say they want to win the tournament, it looks like a different energy when those games are played. Yeah players are always gonna try to win games but these feel more like playoff games it can’t be a coincidence that the best games this season have been for the tournament
James should know it’s not just “young team” when he started off. This is a team that had limited shooting, especially at the wings, and traded that shooting wing for a fourth center project. Then they got no wing players in the off season. They got shooters but they were all old and injury prone, one of them still hasn’t played. The coach is fielding lineups of Cade with no shooters at all (Stewart isn’t guarded like one), giving the offense no spacing. The coach is also not playing the very promising fifth pick from last year. Like, yes, the youth is probably an issue, but you know what? The Rockets, Magic, and Thunder are young. This team has been young last year and the year before. The roster management and coaching have made huge huge blunders

Lots of revisionist history about Steph

1st seven minutes was sounding kinda dumb. Glad it smartened up
They need some scorers down low. Pistons are a jump shooting team that is bad at shooting. Double negative in NBA= frustrating losing streaks.
James is the best sports writer I know. We're honored to have him in Detroit.
Would you pay Cade 55M+ for 5 years?
