I havent watched a Pistons game that has not had Duren in foul trouble.

Cleveland is a completely unserious team.

 

[100%Duncan]

Never gonna happen but imagine Scottie and Wemby frontcourt. No one would score tbh

Pistons were up 17 midway through the 2nd quarter. Orlando goes on a run and cuts it to 6 right before the half. Detroit is in trouble.

Im torn between lakers getting luka back and giving OKC a scare in the offchance of god mode Luka or wanting them to be the first team to blow a 3-0 lead.

As I tune back in this game, I see this dude pick up his 4th foul 6:36 mins in the 3rd. What an idiot.

Lakers are getting swept either way tbh. They don't play nearly enough defense to stop OKC, with or without Luka. Ofc I'd still rather him be able to go just to make it more interesting, but I don't think that series will have a single competitive game regardless.

The refs will absolutely win them at least one tbh.

It's crazy how horrific of a playoffs he is having. I know he is just 22, but man, such a great regular season and these playoffs will kill his chances at a bloated contract.

OKC's whistle is just as elite. SGA is leading the Playoffs in Total FT's by a wide margin so far. We'll see how much they miss J-Will in that series, but they're the deepest team in the league (by far) so I think they'll be alright tbh.

Lakers whistle trumps all tbh; SGA's food stamps will disappear pretty quickly in their series and OKC will suddenly not be allowed to play as physical. That said, it won't matter in the end since OKC is just that much better.

Would be nice if Luka could make an appearance in that series just to make it a little tougher on them.. Unlikely though.. Right now they are saying game 3 is a huge maybe..

I’m actually fine with OKC coming into a series against us having swept two series with a 20 point average margin of victory, overconfident in themselves. I like our team as underdogs.

He has the most stupid fouls. And has 0 offensive bag. Dude is getting exposed big time.

This is an interesting point.. OKC is gonna OKC regardless given the cakewalk schedule and how good they are. Might be good if they walk in that series 8-0, ala Spurs 2012.

KD out tonight?

questionable status due to his sore vagina IMO

 

[spursistan]

Said it previously, I'm definitely breaking that D-Mitch/Mobley/Allen core up if the Cavs lose this series. A bunch of soft babies. All in for Giannis. they should be.

 

[BatManu20]

Banchero having a career night. 45/9/7 and counting. Orlando might pull off this comeback. Detroit needs a bucket.

Edit*: Clutch bucket by Cade.

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

Pistons got this one but I think Orlando wraps it up in 6 at home tbh
