Casey on Cunningham’s lack of foul-drawing: “He’s getting hit, and he’s getting there, so he’ll get there. The officials respect him and he’s doing a better job of developing a relationship with him.” – 2:01 PM

Casey on Grant transitioning to a different role when Cade took off: “He was a pro. He didn’t take a backseat, but he understood (to get off the ball quicker). Jerami did an excellent job of blending in and playing his role, doing what the offense needed.” – 1:59 PM

Detroit was Eastern team that didn’t pass Knicks by. But Pistons have slew of 1st-round pieces to feel good about – Cade Cunningham (1), Saddiq Bey (17), Isaiah Stewart (16), Killian Hayes (7), Bagley (2). And young vet Grant. They’ll be odds-on for top-4. Knicks in Motown today. – 10:40 AM

As the NBA season closes, debates intensify. In DET, people care about Rookie of Year.
For Cade Cunningham, I wrote out his case for the prestigious award, as if he was on a job interview.

Casey on Cunningham’s last shot: “He’s going to be our future. Now is the time for him to learn to make sure he sees that. And hopefully the next time he’s in that situation, when they have three on him, he recognizes there’s an open man.” – 9:43 PM

Paolo’s playmaking has become such a plus on the scouting report. At 6-10 250 playing power forward, putting up same assists per 40 as freshman Cade, who was labeled a PG or lead guard. PB offer passing value with OTD creation and vision that Chet, Jabari don’t. – 12:05 AM

Mike McGraw: Tristan Thompson was fined $20,000 for directing profane language at a referee at the end of the New Orleans game, the #NBA announced. #Bulls -via Twitter @McGrawDHSports / March 26, 2022
KC Johnson: Ruling from league office -via Twitter @KCJHoop / March 26, 2022
Reserve big man Tristan Thompson had a meltdown late in the game, but it wasn’t because of the play of his teammates. It was because of the officials. After he picked up two technicals expressing his displeasure with a review, he dropped a series of expletives before being escorted off the court that likely will cost him a fine with the league office. Lost in the bad defeat to a 31-42 Pelicans team was a stellar performance by Zach LaVine, who scored a season-high 39 points on 12-for-23 shooting. And as frustrated as he was with the loss, getting in the face of teammates just isn’t in his personality. “I think everybody is on high alert,’’ LaVine said. “You’re not going to tell somebody to act a different way. I’m not going to try to turn into something I’m not. I think that’s fake. People can see through that. I think everybody knows what’s ahead of us and what we need to do.’’ -via Chicago Sun-Times / March 25, 2022
