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

Just think if they quit wasting shots and just get 2 points 25% of the time. This series would probably be over. Last game i saw at least 4 Piston misses turn into Orlando fast break points, a 5 point swing every time.

[Sports_Freak]

Even with all the negativity, I see the Pistons winning big tonight. By at least 10 points but probably closer to 20.

what arw the on-off numbers for duren/cade/ausar compared to stew/cade/ausar?

[buddha]

orlando is not very good, even with the roster flaws they should still be beating orlando.

Duren/Cade/Ausar are +7.8

Stewart/Cade/Ausar are +15.8

[Shinzaki]

Dillon Brooks is a psychopath...but he's a psychopath on an expiring contract after 26/27 who shoots @45% from 3.

That should be our summer focus

they should play stew more.

[Shinzaki]

Problem with Stew is he's too easily baited into doing stupid **** and drawing T's.  Duren has been locked up by Orlando jamming the paint, Ausar refuses to shoot...he drives into the paint and then drives out again without even trying to shoot...he's like Dennis Rodman at this point.  

They have about 2 hours to figure this out

[Deleterious]

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.

The easiest solution is for Cade to play like a 1st team all-nba guy. Pistons would probably be going for the clinch tonight had that happened more this series.

Dunc is going to hit his shots tonight so Huerter wasn’t going to be needed anyway.

Obvious to anybody with eyes. Let’s see if JB plays Stew more than 15 minutes this game or if his head is still too far up his rear to see it again. 

[Deleterious]

Not being able to challenge a potential goal tending is stupid

[Betrayer]

Turnovers keeping the Magic in it, other than that it’s a good start. 

[Betrayer]

Bane is built like a tank. Ref wasn’t buying that flop against Dunc. 

[Deleterious]

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

[Betrayer]

Cmon. Free throws. 

[Betrayer]

Refs just letting Carter clear people out on screens. 

[Deleterious]

SVG is right about not leaving your feet on Carter.

[Betrayer]

Switching everything on defense with Daniss is a bad choice. 

[Deleterious]

The refs about to make this game last 3 hours 

[Betrayer]

Full court pressure always winds up in a layup when we try it.
