I watch the games and I know that his numbers look shit because our coach sucks and for some reason only he gets stuck with the shitty 2nd unit as the only creator.

This sub was full of the same kinds of posts about Cade like 2 seasons ago. It’s almost like a) players don’t peak in their early 20s and b) team construction and coaching matter.

Cade still has crap efficiency. The main difference right now is that some of his teammates can make a shot

cade can pass and defend and do the little things real well tho, he can shoot 5-15 and still be a positive player

Considering their season is very much not over yet, I’m not sure being checked out on the season already can be blamed entirely on the coach.

Today? It happens all the time, he can have 7 great games in a row and the 8th game where he sucks will have 10x more attention, because NBA fans feed off on hate just like the media they claim they don’t like

Getting cooked in the comments by Magic fans but yeah agree all his issues are mental. Bro built like LeBron and Melo had a child, once he cuts out those contested 18 footers he settles for he’ll be aight

¹⁰⁄₁₀ from the frew throw line is the biggest win of all here. Paolo needs to be able to consistently knock down his throws.

d12fsu | Magic

Having his best FT% season. If he can get to 80%+ next season would be fantastic. Not to mention he’s having by far his best season rebounding the ball. Dudes 23. Development isn’t always linear. Good to see he’s improving other areas in a season where his shot making isn’t what it’s been.

His inconsistency is real, but the scrutiny in some of those hate posts is way too exaggerated. I think he needs more time to figure out his own pace. He’s clearly very talented and can give you big numbers, but you have to take him on his median value which right now is not an all star unfortunately.

That being said, it was funny that before the game there was a post shitting on Paolo, and in 3h after that post, he dropped this game. Really appreciate OP for making a positive post we can engage with.

Naw, he played really well tonight. Pistons didn’t have an answer for him. Bball Paul is a good player and Paolo made him start the 2nd half on the bench.

It’s not like the Pistons backups haven’t carried them all year with their defense considering Cade has been injured for a minute now.

The amount of bragging you’re doing for beating a team that was resting 4 of their top players and had literally nothing to play for is genuinely hilarious

If Duren is this anchor that people are making him out to be, a ‘bum’ like Banchero shouldn’t be dominating his team in the paint lol.

Banchero seems to have PG13 Syndrome. All the talent in the world but just can’t produce consistently, but man if he plays his top game dude is a stud.

He’ll be better than Randle, but not better than that tier of player that Randle is. He’ll likely never be better than 3rd team all nba cmon
