The potential for more isn’t the same as an epic disaster.
This was a projected 46 win team that won 60 with a young team that won the franchises first series in 20 years.
That’s a successful season by any measure.
Maybe they could’ve gone farther if they made the imaginary trade we all wanted that might not have even existed. Who knows if anything was available to us. Who knows what those teams might’ve wanted in return.
The last Piston team that came back 1-3 in the first round was 03. The got swept by the Nets in the ECF. The following year they pushed their chips in and made the Sheed trade. That team was quite a bit older than this one.
I’m salty as hell today too. Nevertheless, great season. Young team taking their first real steps.
Well, it was a fun season. Supposed to be about a 46 win 4th seed and wound up a 60 win team 1st seed that won their first playoff series in about 20 years. Young team that is still one player short. Lots of fun playoffs series to come as long as we have Cade and Ausar.
That foul on Mobley is garbage after Schroeder is hanging on Cade for his jumper.
I realize we’d be losing anyway because we can’t shoot but the Cavs shouldn’t have 20 free throws to our 11 in the half.
Can we stop over-helping? Especially off Merrill.
Also, just sit Tobias. He’s trash again on offense and getting abused on defense by their guards again and again forcing rotations.
Interesting. Haven’t been tracking their on/off. I would not have expected that based upon how many big plays he’s made (big threes, stealing the ball from Cade, etc).
I don't know, I feel like Wade has been terrible for them and Struss has been much better on both sides of the ball. Seems like a no-brainer for Cleveland and I'm not sure why they didn't do it sooner.
Totally agree. Amazing season!
And yea, I guess I'll root for the Cavs if they win. I hate Harden so bad, but it's balanced by my hate of the other flopper, Brunson. Once you add KAT into the mix, the answer becomes obvious.
