Totally agree. Amazing season!

And yea, I guess I'll root for the Cavs if they win. I hate Harden so bad, but it's balanced by my hate of the other flopper, Brunson. Once you add KAT into the mix, the answer becomes obvious.

Tonight's game is it...do or die. Every possession is critical. No unforced turnovers or lazy passes that easily get picked off. And don't allow offensive rebounds. Open 3 pointers? Sink them. And prevent open 3s for the Cavs. Do all that and we'll win. 😄

Cade better make them pay for that if true.

I don't know, I feel like Wade has been terrible for them and Struss has been much better on both sides of the ball. Seems like a no-brainer for Cleveland and I'm not sure why they didn't do it sooner.

Strus has a negative on/off.  Their defense has been over 11 points per/100 better with him on the bench.

Cade finished 5th in MVP voting.

Interesting. Haven’t been tracking their on/off. I would not have expected that based upon how many big plays he’s made (big threes, stealing the ball from Cade, etc).

Both teams undefeated in their 1st round game 7. But Detroit is 4-0:in elimination games. I'll take Detroit at home. Pistons 110 Cavs 101

Total BS

Do Piston fans hate Harden as much as Cavs fans hate Thompson?

Everyone hates Harden

[Deleterious]

Imagine being a two way player at the start of the season to starter in game 7 in the second round of the playoffs. 

[Deleterious]

Pistons not converting on two different fast breaks

[Betrayer]

Lot of early mistakes

[buddha]

[Sports_Freak]

Pistons look tight.

Yep. They’re getting what they want. Just a lot of misses. Also too excited on defense and over-helping. 

[Deleterious]

That is cool what Gilbert did bringing the fans to Detroit.

[JackMorrisStache]

How do we let this happen? 25 bus loads of Cadaver fans?!?

[Adullin]

Touch fouls one way mugged the other way 

[Deleterious]

Duren gets away with a push on the rebound. I'll take it. 

[monkeytargets39]

Shouldn’t that be a Tech?

[buddha]

two good plays by jalen duren IN THE SAME QUARTER.

holy smokes.

[Betrayer]

There we go. Create some turnovers.
