Yeah, can’t keep buffalo down for a long time

Shouldn’t have called a timeout. Defense was able to make a setup which resulted to a turnover.

I said to my wife when he subbed out with like 2 points and three fouls in the first half that he was gonna boom our ass in the second half.

He could shoot 0-10 from 3 and I’d want the ball in his hands if we need a 3 in clutch time. He’s unbelievable in the clutch

Unfortunately 

That’s just what he does

Seems like he’s got his groove back

some of the takes on here have been wild

i know he started slow this year but my lord do sports fans have ridiculously short memories

Yeah it was a rough watch

1v1 horse for game, team with the lead gets first shot and selects both participants.

Elam ending!

Yeah that was lame as shit, nobody was playing basketball. Cade trying to take a half court shot at just the right time so the Celtics can’t just foul their way to win is not a good watch. And that was the whole strategy, league should do something about that. Nothing against the C’s, that’s the right play, but definitely lame as hell

I vote that intentional fouls should be an automatic tech, for being against the spirit of the game.

Yeah my was first my thought once the Celtics fouled up 3.

I get it’s often the correct coaching decision, but it makes the end of basketball take forever. Glad it was a 5 pm game this time and not an 8:30

I think each non-shooting foul under two minutes should add a free throw. So 2nd foul is 3 free throws, 3rd foul is 4 free throws etc. Would allow teams one strategic foul and then that’s it.

It was the most thrilling 20 minutes of my life

That’s not an NBA thing, it happens at every level of the sport.

Both of them

Worth it to be Frank

What are the odds that Ragnow found out late he was hosting Thanksgiving and decided instead to come out of retirement? 

Very easily worth it lmao

19 less shots but only 6 less points than brown lol

superstar

Just had to shoot better from 3 than from 2. Easy peasy

That’s a sentence I wouldn’t have thought was possible a few months ago 

Without Queta and with 12 minutes of Garza

And without Tatum

That doesn’t move the needle.

It’s a bit poetic. They’re our last loss for the 28 loss streak and our first loss to end the 13 win streak.

the pats being monsters again is disgusting

You see why we all hate them with a firey passion here in NYC? We’re in between them and Philly sports fans and it’s a nightmare every single day!

Hey, have some sympathy — as Pats fans, we recently had to go almost a half-decade without a franchise QB. That was pretty rough, and it’s a wonder so many of us made it through.

(/s, of course)

Nobody is hating on the Pistons. Just the refs

I was screaming ball don’t lie when he missed that last ft

He was clearly gathering the ball in anticipation of the foul, if there was 0.5 seconds on the clock and nothing else about the play changed it wouldn’t even be in question

Anything goes when the player is in the act of gathering the ball.

I mean, our tallest player on the court was Jordan Walsh. Not exactly easy to grab rebounds like that

Had exactly zero centers lmao

Happens when you play without a 4 or a 5

This is what inevitably happens in every multiplayer game, video games or not. Players (and coaches) at the highest level always optimize the fun out of the game due to the unmatchable deside for a win.

They should make it in the last 1 or 2 minutes the team that’s fouled gets to decide if they want to shoot 2 free throws or take it in on the side. That way teams that need 3 can take that gamble, and if they want to keep shooting free throws they can choose that path as well.

I would change it so that in the last 30 seconds of a game if you are in the front court any bonus foul from beyond the arc is three free throws.

That way the losing team can still foul to stop the clock as long as they foul the winning team in their back court or aren’t in bonus. And any team can burn a timeout to push the ball to ball to the front court to dissuade the other team from fouling.

Intentional fouls should be an automatic technical. It’s against the spirit of the game.

I wouldn’t mind getting rid of that and fouling to get the ball back at the same time. Let exciting games have fast paced endings instead of turning into free throw competitions.

Hard agree. It’s so lame that they don’t even get a chance to tie the game. Play defense.

Should be something like the team that gets fouled in the last minute gets possession after to dissuade it

Nah its a smart tactic and just because it isnt as “entertaining” doesn’t mean you just give the losing team an advantage in the clutch, maybe dont go down 3 with seconds remaining! Hope it never changes and been on the receiving end of it as well.

First half was pretty rough, White had 0 made FG.

Well we missed pretty much every 3 it felt like in the first half

He can’t be in our social club no more. That much I know.

You’re gonna be shocked at what team is leading in 3PA this year haha

Well that and they play defense, which will keep them from getting blown out very often.

The difference between this iteration and the contending years is that we could shoot <25% from 3 and still find a way to win. This roster just can’t score at will outside of JB.

Walsh was great. I retract all slander I’ve previously made about him

Unfortunately this means come playoffs the pistons WILL win the chip but on a sub-par 16-1 run. Probably not worth it

Why? Dont go down 3 in the clutch then, its a strategy for a reason and we dont just make rules that cater to the losing team thats some soft shit.

Has a maddening tendency to collapse and make sloppy plays late in games when he has to carry the team because everyone else has played like ass.

We love you 😍

Not yet buddy, we gotta do our own thing on Friday, first is head to head then point differential.

bostons not on the throne, they got curb stomped by new york last year

We don’t have centers at all

Did you watch the game lol. One late call that was missed doesn’t change the whole game of hacking Duran and others

Let’s be honest here- no one from the east is winning shit this year… barring some catastrophic injuries to the top Western squads.

Boston Celtics lost 4 of their best players and still beat the beat the Pistons.

21 offensive rebounds because you played a team with no bigs to speak of was the only reason you were in the game. But congrats on your future championship.

Watch the game. Celtics hit contested 30 foot pull up threes the entire game. 13-1 and in the last 14. Omg the pistons suck!

Lakers flair saying this btw

Nah Derrick White fucking boomed us man.

13 wins means they win the championship. 14 wins is uncharted territory.
