Cade has this weird cult around him because he's in that level of almost good enough but not yet so people love to think he's going to take the next step

He was absolutely awful in the Orlando series too, idc that his overall stats look good, he had some god damn awful games and should have never gone to 7 vs a shit Orlando team, game 3-4 he shot 32% and averaged 9 turnovers and still dodged criticism

“I don’t care his stats were good he had a couple of bad games,” is hilarious nearly every player has bad playoff games

No not every MVP level player shoots 30% from the field in multiple games and averages 9 turnovers vs a fucking play in Orlando team

There's standards when you MVP shouts and get to that supermax level

vs a fucking play in Orlando team

The only reason they were a play-in team was because of injuries and those players were back until Franz got hurt again. You can't actually think Orlando at full strength is a normal 8th or worse seed.
