Cade Cunningham on Pistons: 'We're not 2-26 bad'
What’s the buzz on Twitter?

The sad thing about the Pistons is that I actually like a lot of the young talent they’ve accumulated. I’m pretty bullish on Cade, Ausar, Ivey and Duren individually. They just don’t really make sense together. – 10:15 PM

Cunningham: “We have three mistakes and they’ll mess around and have nine points off of it.”
Said they need to make sure they focus on the little things and not playing to not lose, but win. – 9:42 PM

Cade: “We can play a lot better brand of basketball than we’re playing right now. Not as far as the system that we’re playing, but executing our game plans, taking care of the ball, keeping guys in front of you. It has nothing to do with system. That’s the players.” – 9:41 PM

Asked Cunningham if he thinks this particular group can turn it around at this point: “We’re not 2-26 bad. No way are we that bad. So, yes, I think we can turn it around. I think we can play a much better brand of basketball — executing game plan, not turning it over, keeping.. – 9:39 PM

Cade on if this one feels different: “Yeah … yeah.”
“We had a shot to win it. Down the stretch, we weren’t solid enough. Me personally, six turnovers. We had 20 as a team, for 27 points. I didn’t keep anybody in front of me today. That killed us. I’m sick right now.” – 9:38 PM

Cunningham: “We’re trying to build something sustainable, we’re not trying to just win one game. To be on the wrong side of history, no one wants to be there. That’s an extra edge we have to have.
“We should have won this game and we didn’t.” – 9:37 PM

Asked Monty about teams going on runs after Cade and Bogey check out: “It has hurt us. We’ve tried to stagger those lineups to get those guys back in the game. It puts a lot of pressure on those guys to have to come back in and save the day. It’s on me to figure it out.” – 9:34 PM

Sexton’s long 3 misses, but finds Olynyk who hits the second try. Cade and Ivey miss 3’s the next possession. Sexton tips in a miss during Utah’s next possession.
Jazz 115, Pistons 106. That should do it. Fans are booing and leaving – 9:14 PM

Great hustle play by Cade to block Sexton’s transition layup. Pistons just got unlucky on the last play. Stew and Ausar both went for the tip-in and got in each other’s way – 7:55 PM

More on this storyline
Omari Sanfoka II: Monty was asked if losing can be a step toward winning: “I talked to Cade about that this morning. There’s a deep pain that comes from this, and you typically go through that in the playoffs. We’re going through it now … you never want to go back to this once you get out of it.” -via Twitter @omarisankofa / December 16, 2023
Omari Sanfoka II: Asked Monty about Cade becoming more efficient in his last 10 games: Credited him working off rust, the team getting healthier and making his job easier, and playing off-ball more to get easier shots. -via Twitter @omarisankofa / December 13, 2023
