Cade Cunningham: I think it shows like we're on the same level as all these teams we're playing against
Instead, it became the latest painful outcome in a season full of them. The weight of the streak, and how close Detroit came to escaping it, hung heavily in the air. “I think it shows like we’re on the same level as all these teams we’re playing against,” Pistons star Cade Cunningham said. “There’s no team that I’ve ever come across in the NBA where I felt like I was going into a slaughterhouse.”

Monty Williams on Cade’s good first half vs. Boston’s adjustments:
“They would put a big on a smaller guy & try to confuse us. We were setting screens with that guy to take advantage of that. I thought their physicality was a bit different, but they’re a physical team.” – 11:25 PM

Cade on how the 3-pointer at the end of regulation felt coming off of his hands:
“I mean, it was broke. It felt good stepping into it, but it didn’t feel good when it left. I knew it was off. We talked about everybody crashing. Bogey made a big play.” – 11:08 PM

Cunningham said the #Celtics picked him up earlier and made the #Pistons get into their sets slower, so he couldn’t get to his spots behind the play.

When do we start putting “Cade Cunningham” and “qualifying offer” in sentences together?
I think he re-signs. Everyone re-signs. But if we were designing an “I don’t care about the money just get me out of here” situation on paper it would probably start with 28 straight losses. – 10:15 PM

Cade Cunningham takes a tough running 3, bricks it terribly, and the ball falls to Bogie who puts it back to tie it on the Pistons’ 16th OREB. The Celtics love winning so much that they’re trying to blow the game so the Pistons can stop losing. Really generous of them. – 9:50 PM

Celtics go on a 10-2 run to end the 1st quarter, so it’s only a 30-27 Pistons lead now. Cunningham went to the bench and the lead was cut down quickly. – 8:04 PM

Nov. 9, 2022 was the last time Cade Cunningham was inside TD Garden. He struggled scored just 4 points. It was his last game before he was shut down due to season-ending surgery.
He has 8 points on 4-5 from the field in the first four minutes tonight. – 7:46 PM

More on this storyline
Bobby Manning: Cade Cunningham: “Tough one. We put ourselves in a good spot to win that game and just had too large of a lapse in the 3rd quarter.” -via Twitter @RealBobManning / December 29, 2023
James Edwards III: Monty talked about Cade going from leading the league in TOs to averaging less than three in the month of Dec. “That’s the stuff I see, the growth.” Mentioned finding things within this losing streak to point to as positives for the health of the organization going forward. -via Twitter @JLEdwardsIII / December 27, 2023
Run It Back: “I’m told after the game last night, Cade Cunningham addressed the team, he’s been addressing the team more the last couple of weeks.” @ShamsCharania on Cade Cunningham and possible trades for the Pistons. Charania: “I’m told some of the names to keep an eye on: Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Tobias Harris as well as Miles Bridges” -via Twitter / December 27, 2023
