Still can’t understand why JB is keeping us so small.

Settling down but this is where Orlando has made a run to open it back up in previous games. Let’s see if the pistons can surge instead.

Terrible start on both ends. Stop leaving Bane! Put Duncan on him and his only job is stay attached. Put Ausar on Suggs or Franz so he can roam more and crash for boards.

Leaving Bane to help on defense or gamble for steals is a bad idea. Maybe that means you stick Duncan on him so Ausar can roam more off of Fraz or Suggs.

Yep. I said it from before the first game - Orlando is a terrible matchup for us. Cleveland is our other worst matchup in the East and that’s our prize if we get out of this round. They’re both big teams that clog the paint on defense. But it’s mind boggling to me that in the regular season we’d see lineups of at least a few minutes with Stew at the 4 and Duren at the 5, yet against this big Orlando team where it would actually be useful JB refuses to play that lineup at all and instead keeps going small.

Terrible performance. I’d like to say Orlando might be the better team, but honestly most of the Pistons just looked like they were taking it easy for most of the game. Where’s the intensity? Where’s the movement and cutting?

Ausar had been unreal.

Orlando blows up the first option on offense and we just go to garbage one on one. Nobody moves off the ball, nobody cuts, no screens. Sleeping on defense. Wtf did JB talk about at the half?

Sleeping on defense.

Just sit Duren for Reed at this point.

Stew might be gone after that hit. He’s got one T already.

Cade falling asleep on these 3 pt contests.

No joke.

Terrible defense on these close outs.

Carter outplaying Duren again.

Can we stop leaving Bane?

Duren forcing so hard.

Good cut. They’re overplaying everything. Cuts will be there all day.

Why are Stew’s minutes being so limited?

What is that shot, Duren? c’mon JB. We need one of Cade or Ausar on the court at all times. Wake up!

Turnovers killing this team. Could be up 5 easily. Here we go again with JB playing every guy on the team. What happened to that regular season rotation where Tobias comes out for Stew while JD is still in there? We finally have a matchup where we need two bigs and JB goes small all series instead.

Good response. Ausar’s fingerprints all over that.

Lob city

Stupid foul by Robinson.

Rockets and Blazers both choked away leads tonight.
