Remember on draft night I said that Cade Cunningham was the best perimeter player prospect since LeBron James. I guess it’s TIME to revisit that conversation. – 4:09 PM

Media ballots for All-Star due tomorrow, with some tough choices. Two spots opposite Jokic are up for grabs. Is it Wemby’s time? Backcourt spot opposite Shai, too. Donovan Mitchell a lock in the EC. Brunson/Cade/Garland/LaMelo have cases to be alongside him. – 2:17 PM

Now what you saw with Richards hard dive to the rim on the previous trip that led to open O’Neale 3 he missed.
Then next trip. Dives to rim and scores.
Next trip. Screened out Cade Cunningham to give Booker space to get all the way to the rim.
That can be his impact. #Suns – 4:51 PM

See Richards with the block, but Cunningham fouled on the drive prior.
Again, Suns must improve perimeter defense. Tied at 19-19. #Suns – 4:27 PM

David Hardisty: Ime Udoka on Cade Cunningham’s performance: “Credit to him. We put a lot of bodies on him. He got the shots he wanted and made them.”
He said it’s been awhile since this has been the case, but the physicality of the Pistons bothered the Rockets. -via Twitter @clutchfans

Omari Sankofa II: Cade Cunningham: “We played a good game for the most part, I think it’s just the small things — some of the offensive rebounds — the little things that make up winning and losing.
We didn’t get those tonight, and that’s supposed to be our identity.” -via Bluesky
