Even if Ausar doesn't end up a superstar and the offense doesn't develop, he sure seems like he could end up a Ben Wallace/Dennis Rodman elite hard working guy to play with the star offensive players. I've been very impressed with him
For sure, if he never develops a jumper, he is still a perfect fit on Championship type team. If he does develop a jumper he's an All Star.
Last year, year 4 Anthony Edwards averaged 25.9/5.4/5.1 on 46/35/83 splits. He finished 7th in MVP and was all nba 2nd team. This year, year 4 Cade is averaging 25.8/6.3/9.5 on 46/36/85 shooting splits Cade going to get some MVP votes and all nba consideration this year
Detroit needs to punch (figuratively) Boston in the mouth from the opening jump. We may lose, but Boston needs to walk away after tonight saying "that Pistons team . . . is going to be a problem down the road".
I know the Celtics are tired MG2 but this is a massive win 8 in a row baby. Somebody let the Pistons get hot
I love what Bickerstaff has done, and the Pistons are going to be a serious problem. Cunningham is a beast, and Thompson is a stud. Pistons fans have suffered too long. They are going to be a pain in the ass in the 1st round for someone and a threat down the road. Just wanted to say hello..
Could be as simple as they have had him on a minutes restriction all year in the 24-26 minute range and he was at 27 minutes midway through the 4th. His season high is 30 once and this was only the fifth or sixth time he's gone over 26.
they likely beat us in 5 in a 7 game series. Think we are a year early, but still a good sign to see.
I don’t think we match up well against Indiana, but think we beat Milwaukee or New York in first round.
How much does Beasley get this off season? Re-signing him is a must. Then I think we replace Hardaway with better shooter.
What the fuck are we gonna do with Ivey? Extremely depreciated asset, but still has a lot of potential.
totally forgot about him. Think we are better off without him. Who knows what we do with him. Isn’t his rookie contract up soon?
20 nba players have attempted 390+ 3 pointers this season. Beasley has highest shooting percentage of all 20 and has taken 553. He is only 1 made 3 behind Ant for most in NBA this year, and Ant has taken 28 more
Beasley seems great in the 6 man role. Ivey takes Hardaway spot in starting lineup and i think you run Cade/Ivey/Ausar/Tobias/Duren with a bench of a PG (Schroder or FA), Beasley, Holland, ??, Stew going forward.
THJr/Beasley/Schroeder are FA. Beasley at 6 million is bananas. Going to be costly to re-sign. Duren and Ivey up for extensions.
I only was able to see clips/highlights but from twitter it sounded like he had the best defense 1Q of all time
He was unreal in the 1st half! He is going from "young defensive talent" to a top 5 defender in the league. Ausar can gaurd the best player on the other team, which allows Cade to have more energy in the offensive side of the ball.
