Deleterious

They played too well to only be up 6 at the half

Duren is pretty timid on offense. He just had the ball at the FT line with only Carter around and didn't even attempt a move. Just looked to pass

Every Duren pass is an adventure

Way to blow a challenge.

Welcome to the playoffs Pistons offense.

Jenkins tried showing off instead of just laying it in

The refs about to make this game last 3 hours

SVG is right about not leaving your feet on Carter.

If would be hard not to laugh if Robinson was trash taking me.

Yard work will keep you fit in case you have to throw hands with Mildred on the pickleball court

Not being able to challenge a potential goal tending is stupid

Both offenses being terrible causes issues for guys like Stewart or Ron getting more minutes. You run into diminishing returns by playing guys that provide defense and no offense.

Duren/Cade/Ausar are +7.8 Stewart/Cade/Ausar are +15.8

27.5% ranks them dead last among the 16 playoff teams. #15 is Denver at 30.1%.

Of the 16 playoff teams, Detroit ranks 12th in opponents offensive rebounding. So yeah, they are not doing a very good job. Orlando ranks 6th, so Detroit isn't doing a good job on the other end either.

Rumored for a few months now. He played 4 years in the NBA and couldn't shoot. Supposedly he shoots better now but I'm skeptical. Plus defender though.

Franz still questionable. I imagine they leave him with that status until tip where they rule him out. Better to keep the Pistons guessing and make them prepare for him.

Hard to predict a win when they lost to a team that shot 33% from the field.

Combine that with the #5 pick from two years ago unable to get off the bench. Plus, LeVert and Robinson not looking that hot. You might have a GM problem.

I think the Hawks are turning into a pumpkin.

Looked at ticket prices on Stubhub. Pretty much every ticket in the 200 level is under $70 for tomorrow. Both ends are mostly in the high $50's.

Philly showed a little fight tonight. I never expected that series to go 6 games.

I have gone over this before. But not moving Harris is one of the biggest blunders Langdon has made since taking over. The Pistons are expected to operate as a team over the cap this summer. That means when Harris becomes a free agent this summer his $25 million will come off the books, but it won't create a single penny of new cap space. So they get a hole to fill without adding any resources to fill it because they are still over the cap. People will say bring Harris back, but with his performance in the playoffs I don't think that is a very attractive option now. They really needed to move him for a player that had a deal that extended out past this summer. Or a guy who would be a free agent this summer they wanted back and could use his Bird rights to do so. That is how you manage a roster and the salary cap. But the decided against all that so Harris could vibe and shoot 14% from three in the playoffs. Sweet.
