youre forgetting the part where orlando sucks. the pistons arent great, but they can definitely beat this orlando team.

down 5 with 1 second left and toronto calls timeout to call a play. are you kidding?

stew switched on to him in that last sequence. you know, the one where banchero couldnt get a shot off? but yeah, lets try lavert or harris again. that worked.

much better effort. on the worrying side, it took cade being superman to win the game.

the refs knew the assignment.

clear offensive foul.

orlando doubles cade and forces tobias to shoot. we get a lucky bounce. orlando DOESNT double cade and he scores. we never double banchero and he's got 50 freaking points.

why is jenkins in this game?

jenkins seems to have gotten ubder bane's skin, so he's done one positive thing

talk about letting them play. holy cow.

holy ****! two offensive rebounds in a row for duren! its a christmas miracle!

why do they refuse to double banchero?

STOP PLAYING CARIS LAVERT!

and multiple steals leading to points.

only being up 6 after that half sucks.

they should play stew more.

orlando is not very good, even with the roster flaws they should still be beating orlando.

what arw the on-off numbers for duren/cade/ausar compared to stew/cade/ausar?

a lot of those are open threes. theyre just missing.

a whopping $15.50. about enough to go to mcdonalds. 🙂

yesterday i put $5 on the pistons to win the series...

every time i think about what they needed coming into this season it makes me mad: shooting, a shot creator other than cade, and a secondary ball handler. what did we get? a trade for ancient duncan robinson. caris lavert at the FULL MLE. and danniss jenkins on a two way contract. structurally, that's why theyre losing.

i still think they can win. which says more about how low i rate the magic than how high i rate the pistons. if cade plays smart and fast and is tighter with his handle, they can win at home. stop forcing the ball to duren. and duren needs to get angry and PLAY HARD. rebounding is as much about effort as talent. duren is standing around and getting boxed out by wendall carter. sure, the pick and roll isnt working, but you can help the team other ways. work hard!

pistons are +210 to win the series. i thought it would be worse than that. sixers are still +1000.

lavert makes 14 million next year. watch them extend tobias, sign duren to a huge deal, and draft a 19 year old project at #21 and stash him somewhere. RUN IT BACK! we wouldnt want to use a roster spot and have to give up on bobi klintmann.
