2026 NBA Playoffs

[buddha]

lamelo ball has to be one of the more unlikeable players in the league.

2-16 from 3?  intentionally hurts the other team's best player?  totally selfish and stupid player.  immensely physically talented but just a **** and a dumbass.

[Deleterious]

The entire team is unlikeable.

Dumb guy with a stupid looking jump shot.  The abuser.  The guy who runs a 1AM gun delivery service.  Annoying white kid from Duke.

NBA couldn't have asked for a better start to the post-season. Both of those games were really good, tight matchups, with drama all the way until the end.

That said, I have no idea how the refs don't review that cheap shot by Ball. He should've been ejected from the game. During a dead-ball you can look at a previous three pointer to make sure the guy was behind the line, but you can't review a potential hostile act that takes out a team's best player? That's insane.

Probably a fine at best.

Hard to believe in 2026 I'm watching old head Andre get meaningful playoff minutes.

[Deleterious]

Average price of a ticket tonight was probably over $300 and these fools are screaming their lungs out for a free $4 chicken sandwich.

Andre Drummod makes a 3 pointer? Hell has frozen over...

[Sports_Freak]

Hornets or Magic for Detroit.

[Sports_Freak]

Boston gonna sweep Philly. But they're happy for a couple of days.

at the ripe old age of 32, Andre has  - for the 1st time in his career, learned to shot a little. He has made 32 of 90 attempted threes this season. Imagine if he had had the discipline to make himself learn that 13 years ago.

he could "shoot" back in detroit.  the difference is that when he was in detroit after he signed the big deal, he thought he SHOULD be shooting.  now he is just a bit player who shoots in garbage time for the laughs.

Orlando about to complete the trifecta.

Lost to a Boston team that was resting all 5 starters and some key reserves. A win would have kept them out of the playin.  Lost to Philly without their best player. Now about to lose to Charlotte at home to end their season.

My only point being we always said Andre was a player who couldn't get out his own way to get better when it still mattered, and this is just another sign of that. 

[Deleterious]

Can't stand the guy but you have to give props to Green.

[Betrayer]

Orlando or Charlotte. Basically, do we want our players injured or suspended?

I didn't know that. It seemed like the only shots he made as a Piston were right under the basket...😅😅

1st round has games on Peacock. Will YouTube TV subscribers need a Peacock subscription?

Here we are Friday morning and the Pistons still have more than 48 hours before their first playoff game, and we still don't know their opponent. We can get rid of this play-in round anytime.

i like the play in round.

i hate the nba playoff schedule tjat refuses to show more than one gane at a time and results in 3 or 4 days between games.

they should be playing roughly every other day.
