Cade Cunningham: ‘We’re not satisfied at all. I’ve said it before, we’re still hungry’

Instead, Detroit will remain at six with its postseason vision locked on the Knicks. All-Star point guard Cade Cunningham took a moment to address the upcoming postseason matchup and the franchise’s progress with the media after the game, via Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press. “It is special for us. We all feel great about what we’ve done this year. For the city, that’s the main thing is bringing playoff basketball back to Detroit. I think we all feel great about that. We’re super happy for the city and for the fan base,” Cunningham stated. “We’re not satisfied at all. I’ve said it before, we’re still hungry. We want to go win this first round. So that’s where our focus is right now. And I think the energy in there has been amazing, but I still don’t think that’s going to compare to what the playoffs are going to be like. So, I’m excited to see that for sure.”

The Bucks have not had many answers for Cade Cunningham thus far. He’s seen plenty of defenders and multiple coverages and he has 17 points on 8-of-11 shooting, plus five assists and two rebounds.
But the Bucks still lead, 62-56, with 2:43 left in the first half. – 7:59 PM

Cade Cunningham’s national reintroduction has been sudden — and haphazard.
Pundits may mess up his name, but opposing coaches aren’t surprised by his rise to superstardom.
“He doesn’t have to trick up or flower up the game to be a great player.”
