I disagree. I commend them for seeing a rare opportunity and trying to take advantage. This was not a normal year with the injuries in Boston and Indiana. The East was completely wide open. They felt Bane was a missing piece for what they needed but they got tripped up by injury with Wagner missing most of the season and Suggs about a quarter. We saw a little bit of what they could do in the early part of this series. They looked nothing like an 8 seed at full strength. When they put this roster together in the summer, I can understand the front office thinking they could’ve won the East.

Crazy prediction: Duren blows up and goes 25/10 and majorly outplays his Eskimo brother, Carter Jr.

There’s no way they let McDavid bolt. They can’t lose him for nothing. If doesn’t want to come back, they absolutely will trade him. It’s possible he’s already played his last game as an Oiler and will be traded this summer.

Sucks they don’t reseed in the NBA

There you go. Maxey doing what he needed to be doing all 4th quarter. He’s the man for them, not Embiidz.

Amazing how Jaylen Brown wants the ball in his hands ever time down while Tyrese Maxey gives the ball up as fast as he can like it’s a hot potato. He’s got to be way more assertive for Philly to have any chance down the stretch.

As is BP. They are always the most expensive.

JB finally made changes. He played Duren and Caris less,. He got Reed involved and kept Ausar on the floor when it mattered.

No more 3’s Daniss!

They wouldn’t be playing a game tonight had the Pistons played the entire series with that kind of effort.

Find some way to win the 3rd quarter by at least 10 points. Get it down to 12 to start the 4th to have a chance.

Blake Griffin spot on. There haven’t been any adjustments at all the entire series.

Duren can’t start the 3rd quarter. He probably shouldn’t even play. It’s got to be Stew and Reed the rest of the way. Ausar can’t leave the floor except for a quick breath.

This could get Hawks/Knicks very quickly here if they don’t step up on defense right now.

All their shots are easy and open. Pistons are the worst good defensive team that I’ve seen.
