Pistons should feel embarrassed by the loss last night.
This team hasn’t earned contender status back since they were blown out twice by the Spurs.
Frankly this feels like the 2015 Hawks…
Worse, they lack competitiveness.
Respectfully, pistons need to be better than this because if they can’t do it against the Magic then they have no chance against Cavs
Gonna be very hard to win one in orlando
Pistons don’t look like they are winning this game 1.
Time to bring in Paul Reed
It is time for Paul Reed
Idk. Then. Fuck
That is a good strategy cause it is clearly working
Pistons play like they haven’t practiced free throws for a week
Duren needs to be better. Unless dude is injured. But he can’t let magic clown on him cause he is ineffective in the paint
Pistons need to be better than this
I am just saying that if Duren wants to show he is worth MIP, he has to look at what the other finalists do in game 1 of playoffs vs him.
If he is going to be a star in this league. He has to play like one.
Duren needs to be more aggressive in the paint. He needs to not let himself be so covered.
Not the best defense in paint.
Pistons can’t let Jalen Suggs out hustle.
Magic don’t have a lot of ball handlers. Clamp on him
Pistons need to do a better job at matching Magic aggressiveness
I said the Pistons shouldn’t take Magic lightly
Depressing.
Pistons need to help screen for Cade and take better care of the ball
The Thunder are deep
I have zero expectations for a match up against Magic. 2-2 series against Magic this year.
It may go to 6, 7
Every post season game at home should have a different group of Michigan rappers perform a cypher before tipoff.
I think that in the old system, there was still a level of uncertainty based on how in flux the standing were.
Someone has to remind me if it was or wasn’t the case that there was any significant gap between reg and post season prior to play-in
It is annoying how these other teams, Boston and OKC are having cake walk first round match ups.
Booker is a great player but I am worried that his greatness will be forgotten.
Brooks is weird.
Amen? I think my issue with Amen is that I don’t think he is a point guard. I know Reed was point guard and FVV was planned be point guard.
Amen is very very good. Elite. But I don’t know if he is good enough to be primary playmaker and develop offense game at same time.
Maybe. Not sure if I totally agree with that it is coaching.
I think roster is fine but they decided to trade for KD and that is a dramatic change for a young roster. And they would have benefited by consistency and running it back.
I think Jokic is vastly stronger and more skilled him. Maybe similar player archetype. But Jokic is vastly better scorer, shooter, and stronger.
I am going to say that the Rockets issue is that Sengun is just not a franchise guy. he is a very talented player, and he could one day reach that level. but I don't think a franchise should bet on that.
