Monty on not Cade playing much to end 1Q, change in rotation: Said the official score book had Cade with two fouls, when he only had one. They later told Williams that a foul they thought Cade had was given to someone else. – 10:39 PM

Monty said they didn’t purposefully open the 2nd with Cade and Bogey. They thought Cade had two fouls, but it was changed to a foul on Bogey – 10:38 PM

No clue how Cade hurt his knee. Watched it back, he was moving fine before he subbed out midway through the 2nd – 9:44 PM

It looks like Hayes will start the second half in place of the injured Cunningham. – 9:19 PM

HALFTIME: Nuggets 65, Pistons 57.
Cade Cunningham only played 11 minutes before suffering a knee strain that’ll have him miss the rest of the game.
Burks: 13p
Bogey: 10p
Duren: 8p – 9:05 PM

Halftime: Nuggets 65, Pistons 57. Down eight and no Cade the rest of the way is tough. Very tough.
Burks: 13 points
Bogey: 10 points

The good news: Without Bogey or Cade on the floor for the last four minutes, Detroit only trails Denver by 3.
The bad news: Cade is still not on the bench. – 9:01 PM

Cade hasn’t been on the bench since he last checked out at the 6:21 mark. Looks like he’ll get an extended halftime break. – 9:00 PM

Pistons have won the non-Jokic minutes, lead 41-37.
I really liked Monty’s rotation today — assuming Cade will, in fact, play the entire 2Q.
It really only works if the bench can hold it down four 4-5 minutes. That’s been the case with Burks and Knox. – 8:44 PM

Cade and Bogey start the second quarter. Monty had been leaving Cade in for most of the first before benching him, and having Bogey play with the bench to start the second. – 8:39 PM

Wouldn’t be surprised if Cade plays the entire 2Q. Only at five minutes so far. – 8:37 PM

Nuggets have been soft blitzing both Cade and Bogey. A lot of room for Duren in middle of floor and he’s taken advantage of it.
Good start for him. – 8:24 PM

New wrinkle in the rotation: Cade and Ivey subbed out midway through the first for Hayes and Burks – 8:22 PM

A little change to the rotation: Cade is coming out halfway through. Usually Bogey first. – 8:21 PM

Murray just blocked Cade’s midrange fadeaway. You don’t see too many smaller guards get to his shot like that. – 8:18 PM

Thought Cade shoulda just went up and tried that layup instead of kicking it out to Ivey, but it did generate an open 3.
Ball rimmed around and went out. – 8:16 PM

Cade Cunningham is playing like a star. He hasn’t gotten the validation he wants, though. Not yet.
“It’s validating, but it’s not validating because it hasn’t translated to a win yet. That’s the validation I’m looking for, what it takes to pull out wins”

Omari Sanfoka II: Monty on Cade: “Nothing right now. We don’t have anything official. Bit of a left knee issue, so we’ll give an update once we have an official report. He’s important. Our franchise player. A guy like that that can’t play, it has a trickle effect across the board.” -via Twitter @omarisankofa / January 7, 2024
Kuminga played a season-high 36 minutes against the Pistons. He didn’t rest a single second in the fourth quarter. He had 11 points and six rebounds and spent the majority of crunchtime as the primary defender on Cade Cunningham. It was his 12th consecutive game in the starting lineup, but Kuminga is still yet to play 30-plus minutes in consecutive games in his career. So the playing-time tracker will continue to be monitored. “I never complained about playing time (during the meeting),” Kuminga said. “We were just talking about if I do great at something, just go back and remind him, ‘Yo, coach, what do I need to do to get better at this? What do I need to do to gain more trust or more minutes?’ Like I said, it’s more about communication and better understanding from both of us.” -via The Athletic / January 6, 2024
