Cade Had 39 & 9... But His Turnovers and Defense Cost Detroit the Game
Basketball
39 points and 9 assists is a hell of a night. But I'm not letting Cade off the hook that easy.
The turnovers weren't aggressive mistakes. They weren't "tried to thread a needle and it didn't work" turnovers. They were bad reads and sloppy handles. That cannot happen if you want to be mentioned in the top five conversation.
And then on defense, he gave Max Strus an extra foot and a half of space on at least two corner threes and didn't close with any urgency. You lose in overtime, those plays matter.
Combo wasn't here tonight to defend him, so I had to say it. Cade was the reason they were even in that game. But the margin for error in the playoffs is zero, and right now he's still leaving points on the table on both ends. #shorts
