James Edwards

And then the other thing that's really weird to me, and I'm not around now, and I haven't checked in on this, and I know Isaiah Stewart had a calf injury to end the year, but 19 minutes for him in game one is too low for me.

Like, this is a guy that if he had got to the 65 game mark and I had a vote and I know other people that he would have probably been on one of the all defensive teams this year.

There was the plays at the end when he came in.

where he forced a steal on Paolo, blocked Suggs at the rim.

This is a very much like I'm going to try to match up Isaiah Stewart with Paolo as much as I can.

That is a guy that is built in a lab to stop a guy like that.

Like 19 minutes for Isaiah Stewart is just too low, and especially when he has the ability to hit an open three.

If during starts game too well, I would like to see a significant amount of like during Stuart Harris, Cade Assar or Cade Duncan.

Like I think defensively that lineup can do a lot.

And like I said, I think 19 minutes for Stuart in that series specifically is too low.

He's he's the perfect guy to put on power.

Yeah.

No, and I think that's a great point.

And that's the part where people had questions about Detroit is just the lack of rotations you can put out there where you have good shooting and still keep the identity that you have defensively.

Like, yeah, you could throw out a Cade, Duncan Robinson, Herter, Tobias Harris, Duren lineup, but that's defensively not going to be what... You know he doesn't want to do it, right?

Yeah, and he doesn't want to do it.

And he shouldn't.

They want 60... I understand people's concerns.

And the playoffs are a different beast.

But they found a way to win 60 games whenever, like, K doesn't have a running mate.
