Garland back in the starting lineup with Cedi coming of the bench. Should be interesting. Let’s take more threes! Power to the players!
Kyle Kuzma has to be in the top 5 worst players in the NBA getting major minutes…
AGREED ABOUT WINDLER——WHAT IS THIS IN REALITY –HIS 5TH NBA GAME —YOU CAN SEE HIS CINFIDENCE GROWING !!!!
Fun game. Windler should get all Dotson’s minutes as the second guard. Dotson should only get spot minutes when both of Sexland are out.
Disagree. Backup 3/4.
Dotson can at least handle the rock in brief stints. Now that DG is back in the starting lineup, we’ll have to see how much JB staggers DG + Sexton vs playing them together.
I think Dotson’s minutes are going to fluctuate a lot based on matchups… Prince is definitely the best first “non-big” option right now and Windler is gonna get stable minutes with how he’s playing. Once Love and Nance are back, there are gonna games where JB goes big heavy.
Will be interesting but nice to have depth on this roster this year.
I think they should probably make sure at to have one of sexland on the floor the vast majority of the time and nance out there when they aren’t. Means staggering to some degree. Dotson can play in the very few minutes when one of sexland is not on the floor. You don’t have to worry too much about handling if they stagger a fair amount.
Too skinny to be a four. Three ideal or catch and shoot guard. Frame more suited to be a two.
Only Drummond shooting below 50%
what a win…… WINDLER AND PRINCE!!!!!!!! SEXTON!!!!!!!
they were truly special tonight…. absolutely special performance.
Fun one guys. Bad Pistons. Team but a good win.

Beating bad teams missing their best player by 15 is what good teams do.
Arguably the Cavs were missing their best player too…
Game has been over for like the last 5 minutes of regulation, not sure why Drummond, Sexton, Garland, Okoro all still playing
they’re the young and and the backups played extended minutes.
That was a doofy double. Team
GREAT PASS SEXTON!!! Drummond small hands
I honestly think that is part of it. I think he might have trouble palming it. Wonder what his hand size is. That a combine measurement?
great team execution… open drive and dish from Prince to Drummond.
Cavs took care of business tonight…showing that they’re a good team…
These are the wins they have to get. Got to beat bad teams or teams on your level.
Nice win. Prince with another strong game: 16/7/5 on 6/10 & 3/6 from deep.
Okoro with 6 dimes. Dre with 5 steals. Sexton with 28/5/5 on 10-14.
Don’t reach, Young Bull…
Might just be me, I kinda like the canned audience noise.
Lol. 1900 people there
The nba equivalent of a laugh track. It does work pretty well though. Must be weird in person
What about the, “I don’t know about that one!” guy?
Ok, Dre, u get a meme.
Two dunks right there worth the entry fee
OH MYYYYYY DRUMMOND
SEXTON POCKET DRE WITH THE HAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woahh! Damn dre! Where has that been?!
It took playing Plumlee LMFAOOO
Great second half
Nice cut Okoro, nice pass DG
DG with a bit of a force. Got the tip though and great pass on the okoro cut.
GREAT PASS DRUMMOND GREAT CUT PRINCE!!!!!!!
Great dish dre. Returns the favor to prince
Sexton 26/5/4 right now…not bad…
MVP of the starters tonight
Ha good board dre but blocked by the rim. Got fouled at least on the second attempt
GREAT HUSTLE DRUMMOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andre is allergic to the rim.
Windler +29 for real??? Small sample size on time, but still!
He’s been really good tonight…needs more shots…
WHAT A PLAY PRINCE!!!!! BEHIND THE BACK!!!!!
Prince dish.
Nice kick by dre and dish back by prince
5 MORE ASSISTS TO GET TO THAT “MAGICAL ” 26 —GO CAVS
DG Sexton Windler Prince Allen should be the lineup right now. they were the best five tonight.
I want Windler and Sexton back in as soon as they can.
Yeah at least one of them.
Ugh. I’d get a timeout and put Allen back in.
Allen has 1 board.
Okoro brick.
Was a decent shot. Wide wide open corner trey. One he is going to have to make consistently at some point.
Oh for sure. Not blaming the selection. Just an ugly shot.
Brutal three point foul. Damn. Going to get called everytime
I do not know what his ceiling will be, but I think Windler is going to be a useful rotation player, at worst. Good BBIQ. Good hands. Good defensive instincts.
Ceiling is a really good rotation player, I’d guess…
Hope so. I’ve been secretly predicting we’d never actually see much out of him and he’d be one of those players 5 years from now who winds up a great role player for the Spurs.
DRE WITH THE KISS!!!!!!!!!! I SEEN A MIRACLE!
Ha. That was a no no no drive by dre that went in
LMFAO totally!!!
And then a no no no drive that didn’t go in lol
2-0 on Detroit so far, nice to have some bunny teams
OKORO EUROSTEP!!!!!!! WAS THAT MANU???????
Great read by dre on the oop and then great finish by okoro
He’s so good with his left hand
Well I finally switch on and it does appear to be iced!!
Pretty good performance, at least in the 2nd half…
OH MY! ICE!

OMFG WHAT A PASS SEXTON!!! Allen just jumped a millisecond too soon.
Cedi with a nice curl and drive.
CEDI WITH THE STRONG TAKE!!!!!!!!!
Great physical d by allen on okafor
https://twitter.com/oldseaminer/status/1354609361088368640?s=20
Allen with the stuff on Oak…so good…
Love how psyched the entire team gets for Windler 3s
that was growth right there, Sexton called Windler’s number and got him an open 3… Sexton never saw those plays before.
Windler in transition on a quasi drag screen. So good tonight.
WHAT A FANTASTIC READ SSEXTON!!!!!!!!!! WINDLER FOR THREE!!!!!!!!!!
Nice take sexton
SEXTON WITH THE BLOW BY HE CAN”T MISS!!!
Oh sexy.
Windler for 3! Please, JB, get him more shots…
“PURPLE RAIN ” ING THE 3’S
One of the few mistakes seen windler make. Can’t give rose an angle
ALLEN WITH THE SOFT TOUCH!!! GOOD READ PRINCE!
Nice d, Rose. Follows it up on the other end.
Always forget about okafor
Easy to forget he’s still in the league…what a bad draft pick…
19 DETROIT TURNOVERS!
Prince can’t miss
Jinxed
