First turnover and the fans will be letting the Pistons have it. At least, I hope so. Being so casual with the ball, making lazy passes and missing free throws cost them all 3 games in this series. And possibly the whole series. Totally unacceptable.

I'm as doom and gloom about this team as anyone, but they could still win this series.

orlando isnt that good.  the pistons could get better shooting and/or a supercade game and win 3 straight against this team.

not likely, but not impossible.  ask tracy mcgrady.

As much as I'd love to see it, I can't buy it.

Unlike 2003 we don't have a Tayshuan Prince waiting in the wings to overtake Michael Curry and shut down TMac. Unless you think that's Ron...

That said, I'd actually love to see a lineup shakeup. What do we have to lose at this point?

We aren't scoring in the half-court with any lineup JB puts out there, so let's take back the paint and try to win the possession battle again. Give me a bunch of double-big with Stew alongside Duren and Reed to match their size and put a better defender on Paulo. Play Ron and more Javonte for disruption. Lean into our identity even harder and just try to impose our will on Orlando for once.

If we're gonna go out in the first round, let's go out embracing our identity.
