The end of the regular season may rhyme with renewed sleep and lousy garbage time, it’s always nice to see young people taking their responsibilities. This Tuesday, the youth of Detroit threw a monster barouf on the floor of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Victory was close, but Kevin Durant has his reasons that reason ignores. We debrief.
The pretty homemade boxscore is HERE!
At the question “do young people need to have rave parties in the fields to be successful? », Cade Cunningham and Killian Hayes respond negatively. This Tuesday, in Brooklyn, the kids from Detroit created the stakes of a game that was sorely lacking. A stratospheric Kevin Durant – 41 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 1 interception at 61% shooting including 4/6 from the parking lot – prevented them from pushing the dream too far. That’s not the important thing. For Chet Holmgrenesque purposes, the Pistons preferred to lose. But there is no doubt that Dwane Casey would have let his men go for the victory if they had been able. What a fight it was. Although he will never be the first offensive option, Cade Cunningham having the status – and the talent – of first pick, Killian Hayes confirms his excellent form. He no longer hesitates to draw rhythmically and can easily pick up ten units each evening. A nice complement to his work on the other side of the floor. The cefran defends like a bodybuilder lynx, the hands are lively, clinical, and his physical presence annoys more than one outsider who wants the driver on the shoulder. Everything we have just explained is also transcribed on his score sheet: 13 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, 1 block and 0 lost ball at 60% shooting, all in 33 minutes of play. This last stat underlines the confidence of Dwane Casey who constantly lets the former Choletais dispute the money time. Setter, defender, more and more scorer: at only 20 years old, Killian shows obvious signs of progress, relayed on March 22 in a file of The Athletic entitled “Killian Hayes and the art of passing the ball. » He is beginning to be respected across the Atlantic, his body language gain insurance. Even Kyrie Irving pats him on the back.
« OH MERCY! »
This stepback by Killian Hayes is TOO TOUGH!

We may have the best bakeries, the Americans produce more. Selected as the first choice of the 2021 Draft, Cade Cunningham is starting to pose serious problems for statisticians: 34 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists and 2 steals at 54% shooting including 5/11 from the bar. He equals his career high, two months after already putting down 34 in a loss to Denver. As Kevin Durant said very well in the post-game conference, in response to a question about the talent of the Pistons, “when you have a 2m01 point guard, it’s a good starting point ». The Pistons can blindfold themselves and turn thirteen times on themselves, if the fate of their franchise is entrusted to Cade Cunningham, the reconstruction has a good chance of succeeding. Against Brooklyn, the point guard didn’t even play the second quarter because of a back alert, but still came back to put 29 of his 34 points in the second half. He took advantage of the microphones at the press conference to punctuate his masterclass by recalling his legitimacy in the race for the ROY trophy: “It’s the rookie of the year trophy, not a rookie of the first three weeks”. The kind of phrase which, coming from the mouth of a 2001, reveals great character.
Cade Cunningham sure looked like the ROY tonight in Brooklyn: 34 PTS + 6 AST with 29 PTS coming in the last quarter and a half. This rookie class is loaded but no one I’d take over Cunningham. Has that inner calm/ unshakable confidence — and skill set — you see from NBA stars. pic.twitter.com/VxH7fHuPjr
