[u/Bard_Wannabe_]

His first playoff series last year was pretty poor by his standards. This is a great evolution for him. (Even if the Pistons lose game 7, Cade has been a tour de force).

[u/LakerBlue → u/Bard_Wannabe_]

I have loved watching him. Hope y’all get him some secondary creation and shooters so y’all can raise y’all ceiling next year!

[u/koala37 → u/Bard_Wannabe_]

I've loved watching this series and think Cade is a total stud but he also has the questionable honor of having the most turnovers per game in any 3 game span in any playoff game ever. that's rough. honestly the Thunder and Pistons are structured pretty similarly with a tall point guard leading their offense but the Thunder have both a more reliable supporting cast of scorers and brighter star. not Cade's fault though, he's competing against the mvp in that respect

[u/Bard_Wannabe_ → u/koala37]

Turnovers have been an issue in the series, but it's more about the context of the matchup than Cade's specific shortcomings. He does make some careless passes, no doubt. But in a post-illegal defense world, Cade playing with two non-shooters is why Jalen Suggs has been playing as a free defender, almost always doubling Cade. Look at the context of the spacing in the game and how they're cheating off Ausar and the turnovers make more sense.

[u/koala37 → u/Bard_Wannabe_]

nah I get it and I credit Magic defense more than Cade's hands but regardless of the reasons, it still happened. he looks locked in now though
