5/1/26 7:00PM RD1 GM6 Pistons 2-3 @ Magic 3-2

[Betrayer]

That’s what we got out of timeout. Pitiful. 

[Betrayer]

No hand up on Bane. 

[Betrayer]

Raining threes. Pistons are about to get Atlanta’d. 

[Deleterious]

I love Cade. But his team is getting dog walked and he had taken 6 shots 

[Hongbit]

All their shots are easy and open.  Pistons are the worst good defensive team that I’ve seen.  

[KL2]

And collapsed

[Betrayer]

That’s an offensive foul. 

[buddha]

waiting for "elite" jalen duren to show up.

[buddha]

how did dennis shroder do for cleveland last night?  bettwr than danniss?

[Betrayer]

Silver lining. Duren has shown what he is. A role player. Make sure you don’t pay him more than that. 

[Deleterious]

It would be one thing if Victor, Rudy, Monley, or Chet was shutting Duren down. But it's Wendell Carter. And he's basically doing it by just staying with Duren and standing next to him

Have they missed this quarter?

[buddha]

WHERE IS CADE?

your team is down 20 and youre sitting there watching.

Same way Drummond always got shut down by basic Centers. Secret weapon: simple box out.

They’re showing bodies to prevent him from doing anything easy. 

[Hongbit]

This could get Hawks/Knicks very quickly here if they don’t step up on defense right now.

[Betrayer]

How many times does Orlando pickpocket from behind before we realize they’re going to do that?

[buddha]

cade isnt being doubled, he's just being passive.

they did the same thing in game 5 and he scored 45

[buddha]

38 points!!!!!  in a half!!!!

[Sports_Freak]

Total disaster.

[Deleterious]

No way can they make up a 22 point deficit 

[Hongbit]

Duren can’t start the 3rd quarter.  He probably shouldn’t even play.  It’s got to be Stew and Reed the rest of the way.   Ausar can’t leave the floor except for a quick breath.

So you expect him to average 45 points in this series? He has 2 pts less than Paulo and he has no help at all. Oh, and just came off a collapsed lung playing 40+ minutes in this series. I’d be tired too.
