Game #39: Detroit 108 Phoenix 105 Final

We need better shooters from three. Holland just cant knock that shot down enough. He is always wide open.

Team starts 2-8 with Cade being 0-4.
 
So much for having starters back. Playing like crap.
Suns lead 32-23 after one.


Suns 6-14 from three including a damn 9-0 run last three shots.
Pistons are terrible 3-11 from three..

I know Ivey is an issue on defense but he is the only pistons scoring.
 
Make that 4 threes in a row for the suns. It’s embarrassing we are not ready for the Suns press. They need to make some adjustments.
 
Cade should sit. He is playing terrible . The whole team is playing like shit. There is no energy at all. Cade stripped yet again. They need to wake up or this will be back to back home losses.
 
They make threes. They are now 9-19 from three.
Do we not know the rules on closes outs ?
Thompson gets a tech . How is that a foul ?
We had it down to 8 . They make back to back threes.
Plus foul shots..
 
That’s a foul on Brooks ref.
Outside ref calls the foul for holland. Ref right there wasn’t going to
Call it.
Harris was being fouled before Harris elbow.
Challenge success be he gets a tech for the elbow.

Game is getting really chippy. Brooks may get T’d up.
Idk. He swing pretty hard at Holland after the steal.
Why is holland getting T’d
These refs are a joke.
 
Piston challenging another foul. We cut lead to 53-49. But now it’s 55-49. Looks like brooks wasn’t set. But sadly Holland was out of control on his drive. . JB wins again. Challenge successful
 
Pistons had lead down to 4. Starters came back in and suns go on another run. Cade just a -4. He is 1-8. He has 4 turnovers. Ball has been stolen from him a few times. He has to play better .

Suns 11th and 12th three .
Cade is just playing awful.

Harris is fouled at buzzer no call. He misses damn layup.
Pistons trail 63-56 at half.

Suns 11/25 from three 44%
Pistons 6/17 35 %

Fouls, T’s, and chippy basketball.

Piston took a 81-76 lead. Missed a ft. Played crap defense. Pass to non shooters at three point line. Suns back up.

Whenever they need three they hit it. They have 16 to our 8.

Pistons trail 90-89 after three. Pistons took a 5 point lead in the third.
Lost or fast.
 
Cade cannot hit anything. Early 4th he is 2-12 with
7 points..
My god he needs to wake up.
An anyone make a shot ?

Ivey is the only one making anything from distance so far.

Pistons are 9-29 from three. . Hopefully someone can start making some shots. We need Cade do wake up. He is rusty.

Cade keeps shooting and keeps missing twice had ball up 4 .
He is 2-14. I never seen him shoot this bad.

Then we Took a 6 point lead. Then 4. Ivey turnover because he dribbles to much and now it’s down to 2 again.
Man when Cade cant score we are really limited . He does have
11 assists.
Jeez we turned it over out of a timeout lol. I think we got it back.

To win when they weren't all that efficient is nice. No matter how good a team is they always have stinkers at times. So, take it and move on.
 
That was one ugly game. Cade was terrible and the missed free throws down the stretch was bad. I thought the refs were really bad this game also.
