Missing so many open threes.

I wish Duren would set an actual screen instead of slipping. Get Tyson off Cade.

That was the Cavs best offensive quarter of the series. They shot over 70%.

Have they missed a three?

Nice! Defensive lineup of total disruption.

Also they’ve obviously come up with a counter to the hard hedge. It’s not something you can do all game because there are hard counters. You have to spring it on them and then switch it up.

Allen taking it to Duren right now.

Harden has been looking for that Harris switch. Tobias struggles against guards.

Outside of some sloppiness in the offensive end, good start so far.

Every time he’s on screen my wife goes “shave that dirt-stache”

Get Ausar back in!!!

Harris playing very well now.

Terrible second half so far. Gotta pick up the defense. They just look flat.

Bad start to the 2nd. Missing lots of easy ones.

Jenkins doing everything out there. Nice minutes from him so far.

Stew really struggling. Putting guys on the line a lot.

They’re really making up for the free throws last game, huh?

Bonus for the rest of the quarter. Not good.

Can’t seem to crack it open. Letting them hang around and now Ausar’s on the bench for the rest of the half.

He was elbowed in the face by Harden. They should’ve challenged it.

Well, it WAS a good start.

Strong start

Haslem in the pregame going on and on about how Cavs need to target Duncan on every possession.

I think you can catch them off guard with it and cause a turnover, but I don't see it working consistently with Cleveland because they don't have the perimeter length/defenders to really pull it off. Also, I would hope the Pistons have seen enough Cade traps to make people pay for it with Ausar or Duren initiating a 4 on 3 from the top of the key once they have the advantage. Especially against Cleveland whose guards won't rotate and recover fast enough.

Some fun numbers: Cade faced 10 double teams Cade also faced 21 late doubles (help when he gets to around the free throw line or below)
