CHECK THE WORK

Check the Work challenges the story behind the numbers—questioning assumptions, examining context, tracing evidence, and testing conclusions.

@swagweegee How do you know what the line is? You haven’t seen the starting 5 yet.

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@313Playbook I would push back and say due to his shoulder injuries, he wasn’t really around for the stink of 0-16. He played in less than half of the games his 1st 2 years after 0-16.

@ayyo_arob @BadBoysBossUp He has a ton of silly ones. That’s the issue. I’m aware humans are going to make mistakes. Not tripping at all on that. I have literally seen Cade throw the ball to nobody numerous times. And it’s worrisome to me that we want our PG off the ball more to help his turnover issue

@hatchetsprts The capital used were comp picks. Where were these extra players going to play? You had Kerby, Branch, TA & Reed at the time.

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@LaknRilyGains @MobHoops Where were those additional bodies going to play? The roster was pretty full.

@LaknRilyGains @MobHoops How often do you find all pros in rounds 3 & 4?

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@ayyo_arob @BadBoysBossUp My point is y’all have the excuses ready to fire for Cade. All I’m doing is changing the name. Averaging 30 is one aspect of the game. Cool. But if you routinely give the other team possessions with your turnovers, why do I care about that 30?

@Section344Lions I can’t wait for Brad to leave. This fan base deserves a loser.

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@aurban91 Probably the contract issue and his comments after.

@johvincan Every rookie on every team does not play a lot out of the gate. What is wrong with you fans?

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@ayyo_arob @BadBoysBossUp Does Duren get the injury excuse? You forget he had a knee injury he was nursing?

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@eyehatemyteams @BadBoysBossUp Why can’t this apply to Duren?

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@ayyo_arob @BadBoysBossUp No agenda. You made claims and I pushed back on them. Make the players nameless and faceless. Your point guard can’t have turnover issues and be a great playoff performer. Westbrook was similar in that regard. When it was just him and a team similar to the Pistons, it wasn’t good

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@ayyo_arob @BadBoysBossUp I’m going to be honest. You made a claim. I provided a quick example of a turnover that had nothing to do with his teammates. Nothing more. Nothing less.

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@ayyo_arob What did he do when Franz was out there? Was it a struggle?

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@ayyo_arob @BadBoysBossUp Shit man, Franz went out and he went crazy. I acknowledged that.

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@ayyo_arob @BadBoysBossUp Nah. I like Cade, but he isn’t perfect and has some huge flaws in his game. It’s ok to say.

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@ayyo_arob @BadBoysBossUp Max Strus stuck him up in the backcourt and you blaming his teammates

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@BadBoysBossUp @eyehatemyteams Duren is a dependent player. I’m not disputing that. People forget Duren was nursing a knee injury as well.

[CHECK THE WORK @CHECKTHEWORK1]

@BadBoysBossUp @eyehatemyteams Cade was good with all of the turnovers. Y’all are choosing to gloss over a lot. Specifically, when Franz had him in hell. Max Strus & Dean Wade made it difficult for him too. Luckily, Dean couldn’t hit a shot. Let’s talk about it.
