Casey on Killian: “Kill’s growing. Defensively, he was solid. His 3-point shooting was a big thing for his confidence. Now he knows, with Cade’s out, he’s in the drivers seat. He’s playing with a lot of confidence, which is good to see.” – 1:26 AM

The good news: The Lakers are shooting 89-of-247 (36%) from 3 in their last nine games. That’s league-average!
The bad news: The Lakers allowed 116.3 points per 100 possessions in their last eight games and just gave up 121 at home to the Pistons without Cade Cunningham. – 1:10 AM

The Lakers with four days of rest are getting completely out-worked by the Pistons on the second night of a back-to-back without Cade Cunningham. LeBron or no, that’s totally unacceptable. – 11:20 PM

Pistons have some young OKC in them, back when they had baby KD and all that. They ran “better” vet teams off the floor with Russ, Harden, Ibaka, etc. Don’t think DET has that level of transcendent talent but I like the direction… And that’s without Cade, Stewart, etc tonight – 2:48 AM

With Cade out, Ivey said he’s been trying to step into more of a leadership role on the floor – 1:23 AM

On Bogdanovic’s recent turnover issues, Casey said he talked to him about it. Thinks he’s handling the ball more since Cade is out. “He’s a pro, he’ll figure it out. I’m not worried about him.” – 9:09 PM

Texas taking it to to perennial power Gonzaga so far with crowd fav Brock Cunningham doing the damage the past couple minutes. – 10:23 PM

Casey on Cade’s recovery: “We’re still waiting and seeing where it goes and letting everything happen. Multiple people are doing a heck of a job working on him. He’s right on target where he should be right now.” – 7:03 PM

Mike Curtis: Cade Cunningham (left shin) and Isaiah Stewart (right big toe) are obviously out for tonight’s game against the #Clippers. Cory Joseph is questionable. #Pistons forward Braxton Key has been called up from the Motor City Cruise due to Stewart’s injury. -via Twitter @MikeACurtis2 / November 17, 2022
