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.

bump.

that would be difficult. the easiest thing to do was nothing and then say you didnt want to mess with their great chemistry. yes, jb sucks at making big adjustments, but this is a roster construction failure. as much as i think the bulls players were overrated role players, they could play key roles! how about coby white or ayo dosunmu? FOR SECOND ROUND PICKS! and they didnt bother with either because they...check notes...wanted to move up 8 spots in the middle of the draft. either one could have given you an extra ball handler/offensive player (white) or defensive player/ok shooter (ayo). and instead they chose the corpse of kevin heurter. what an absolute failure.

nc$$ tournament expanding to $eventy-$ix teams.
