when youre down 50, you can count on marvin. that guy refuses to lose by 60.

nico looks like an idiot dealing luka for the poo poo platter, but he's right that he's out of shape and plays 0 defense. of course, dallas had a team that could mask his defensive deficiencies and still traded him because they're stupid. the lakers do not.

so.....no extension for duren? lol.

now dont spend the whole post game press conference bitching about the refs. take the L and move on. play better in game 2.

they lost their poise down the stretch. that's when your supposed veteran leaders - harris and hardaway - need to step up. instead, hardaway missed wide open shot after wide open shot and harris did what he always does in big games: disappears. ask sixers fans. when it mattered, ausar was awful on offense. duren too. cade was miserable. turnover after turnover. dumb shot after dumb shot. yes, they got no calls. but its the playoffs in msg on national tv, guess what? youre not getting any calls. that's life.

it must really bother stew to sit on the sidelines and watch the stay puff marshmallow kat talk shot like he's tough.

cade shoved by kat, no call.

pistons look like a young team in the playoffs. getting no calls. getting run out of the gym when it matters. no poise.

15-0 run. cant blame that on the refs. pistons just went cold.

two wide open misses from hardaway and the brunson throws in some bull****.

i remember when cam payne was the worst player on the bulls. he's made a nice little career for himself. him and his ugly ass jumper.

cade goes out, 8-0 knocks run. beasley misses two wide open threes. shroeder misses an open jumper.

shroeder gets bumped by kat on a drive, no call. payne gets hit on a drive. and 1.

and a missed dunk. come on rook.

another stupid ausar foul

up 8 and battling the knicks and the refs. jb doesnt help by complaining about obvious pistons fouls. come on jb, there are plenty of ref blown calls to go around, no need to harp on every single call they make.

he stepped on his foot, how is that a blocking foul? for god's sake these refs are doing whatever they can to keep the knicks in it.

another bull**** missed call. ****ing refs suck.

wjat a crock of **** call. **** you refs.

i dont blame ausar for that bull**** call.

good jinx

at least harden is actually still good. russ sucks but blind squirrels his way into making one wide open three and then acts like he's god's gift to basketball. there's a reason why they dont guard you out there russ.

ausar! show that to bridges the next time he opens his mouth.

duren isnt giving me a ton of confidence he can play in the playoffs. stew has been better but you see his limitations against length. he's just too small. tobias on kat is interesting. tobias on offense is keeping them in this game. hopefully his reputation as a late game choker doesnt resurface. hardaway has been good too. beasley has hit open shots but every time he puts the ball on the floor he either falls over or turns it over. or both. good to play physical but you cant be stupid about it. too many fouls away from the basket. too many dumb fouls just getting frustrated. they dont have an answer for anonoby on defense. the lack of height up front is showing.

the good news: cade has been garbage and theyre only down 2. the bad news: brunson has been worse and were only down 2.
