[Highlight] Cade Cunningham shoved Stephon Castle which results in a chippy confrontation between the two teams:
Cade not getting a tech here but giving one to Duren is crazy
As a Pistons fan, totally agree. That’s a superstar call and I dont like it
Fuck you mean? He started poking his finger in the dudes face. That’s antagonist and escalation. He deserved a tech. Cade also.
i would guess that OP was saying both players equally deserved a tech
Forcibly pushing a player towards the ground is worse imo. If it weren’t for Castles choice of cut, he’d hit the back of his head on the court
Bub Carrington has taken so many falls where the back of his head hits the ground. He hasn’t missed a game because his haircut is basically a helmet. These young guys learning to shoot with hair-helmets is the next big thing.
That why come playoff time, guys don’t shave their pubes when facing the warriors and Draymond.
Bush league
It only took you 40 minutes to come up with that? Legend.
Guardian caps (NBA Edition)
Elfrid Payton changed the game fr.
A misunderstood genius?
Players from the 70’s were ahead of the game. Jarrett Allen knows what’s up
Cade shoulda been a flagrant 1, wind up follow through not a basketball play
I’m no lip reader by any means, but I’m pretty sure he also told Keldon “I’ll fuck you up bitch” lol
Duren loves to talk and start stuff but dosent want to fight anyone.
To be fair I don’t think there is a human being that has ever existed that wanted a piece of Diabate when he had that look in his eye.
I highly, highly doubt that Duren is afraid of Diabate. Just look at Duren. Lol.
Duren instigated and then the second Moussa went off he backed down fast. He wanted none of it. But I doubt he was shitting himself.
He just came back from a suspension, not wanting to fight does not equate to being soft. Everyone says the same thing about Stew and its so ridiculous
he didn’t fight during the Hornets scuffle that got him suspended lol
he took a swing, he just missed
Duren looks like he can kill a guy with a punch maybe it has more to do with that lol
He’s a bitch. I’ve been saying it since the hornets fight. Squaring up and getting into someone’s face then backing away is the softest move ever
Duran is a punk! (I’ll go hide somewhere now)
Kevin Garnett apprentice
[CHARANIA] REPORTS ARE BEEF STEW HAS BROKEN OUT OF HIS CELL AND ON HIS WAY TO LITTLE CAESARS AT THIS VERY MOMENT!!
Hot and ready indeed
this guy knows ball
No waffling from his house. That’s for sure.
i imagine him at a random little caesar’s getting a hot & ready instead of their arena
They give out hot n ready to the crowd for every fight that breaks out.
Beef Stew needs entrance music like Steve Austin with the glass breaking.
BYY GAWDDDD, IT CAN’T BE!? THAT’S BEEF STEWS MUSIC.
camera frantically pans around the arena
BEEF STEW’S GOT A STEEL CHAIR!
BEEF STEW WITH THE CLOTHESLINE FROM HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL. voice dies with gargle
JESUS CHRIST LORD ALMIGHTY, STOP THE DAMN MATCH
IF YOU SMEELLLLLLLLLL, WHAT THE BEEF, IS COOKING
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0MslYif9iQ
I was so disappointed finding out Beef Stew is still suspended and this did not escalate
Begging (thru text) for Castle’s location
BAW GAWD STEW DONT DO IT! HE HAS A FAMILY!
Cade deserved a tech
That was a flagrant one
I said the same thing and thought i was just being biased, so thank you
Should have been a flagrant 1 on the foul and a tech for standing over him
F2. Should’ve been gone.
It was dangerous, intentional, and not a basketball play. I dont know what technically counts as a flagrant 2 but that sounds like it
Unnecessary and excessive is the criteria.
Just unnecessary is an F1.
This would probably be a classic flagrant foul.
not sure how cade just gets a common foul here lol
there’s force and follow thru in that shove that’s at least an F1
Superstar non call.
He also committed an obvious flagrant foul 3 mins into the game shoulder checking Wemby. They didn’t even review it. Of course he did it again, he saw they’ll let him tonight. Absolutely insane officiating in this game
I genuinely wonder how they even do in the playoffs at this rate. No way Adam Silver wants this to be his representation of basketball. God forbid multiple teams adapt prison ball style.
Have you missed OKC’s playoff run last year? They’ve started this bullshit legion of doom strategy and were awarded for it. Now teams are copying it.
Did you miss the pistons last year? They’ve been doing this the whole time too, okc is dirtier but the pistons are more physical
Well, yes. Why would I watch them last year, they’ve started being relevant only this year just like us
Dude the Pistons were a playoff team last year and I even hear tons of media talking about how they had one of the most competitive and fun series of the entire playoffs. They were relevant last year too and their turnaround was one of the biggest stories of the season.
I am not saying Pistons were bad last year, I have nothing against them. I am just a casual who has barely enough time to watch my own team
OKC absolutely toes the line with hand checking and freedom of movement, but they are super “gentlemanly” about it. There are rarely escalations, never complaining in the post game presser, even Dort will push a guy down and then put his hands up like he did it by accident when the whistle blows - it’s nothing like the lightning rod that’s this Pistons team.
The Pistons are bordering on possibly delivering clotheslines from hell JBL style
He hard 2 hand shoved Wemby later on a rebound and I guess they’re just not going to give him his 6th foul
Yeah even as a pistons fan I expected him to get the technical instead of Duren, it was pretty bad in replay the fact that a finger in a face got a technical instead is insane.
🏎️🏎️
This is THE game of the season. I was NOT familiar with your game, Detroit home crowd.
How you not know about that Detroooooit baaaaasketball? When they’re good it’s one of the best atmospheres in the league
Person you’re replying to probably wasn’t alive last time they were good
This is true and it hurts. Glad it’s back!
To be fair to them, they are an OKC fan (stolen valor) whose organization has only been around since 2010ish, and we have not been good since then
Damn catching strays even in a thread like this
Detroit as a city has a very strong sense of pride in their players/artists/etc
And on a Monday night too, this city is something special
Hope yall go really far this year. Yall deserve it
Pistons home crowd had a crazy atmosphere last playoffs.
I always try to watch Detroit games. Same with Cleveland.
Duncan Robinson had time today
As soon as Duren saw Duncan stepping up he walked away. He knew he didn’t need to do anymore and Duncan would handle the rest.
Cuz Cade is a light skin
Dude was out there looking like prime Draymond with that energy
How the fuck did Cade not get a tech for the shove?
Should have been flagrant 1 for the foul and a tech for standing over him
If that was Rudy, that would be a Flagrant 1. Refs hate Rudy
and the pistons fans are actually defending this 😭 i’m so sorry you have to play these losers so many times a year that must be hell
and the pistons fans are actually defending this
I’m honestly not too surprised, but honestly this game is making me hate Pistons given how many times they hacked players like Wemby without any calls what so ever
i’m so sorry you have to play these losers so many times a year that must be hell
Also it was definitely was hell, given how many times we sold games that were initially very competitive
Pistons “strong physical defense” is at least thirty percent fouling without getting called for it. Which is really frustrating because they’re actually a great defensive team without that.
Pistons NBA “strong physical defense” is at least thirty percent fouling without getting called for it.
“Physicality” = “They can’t call everything”
Wemby gets hacked by every team, this is nothing new.
wemby is definitely not getting body checked every possession by other teams
detroit piss basketball is just violence
he does by houston and okc
detroit, okc, orlando and houston are the definition of “physical” defenses that get away with murder and are officiated differently from everybody else else
Yet every Magic related thread its non stop from Pistons fans about how dirty we are
I mean, you are, just they are too
Refs have been letting a lot of physical stuff go tonight, that’s for sure.
Yeah we need this Finals matchup fr
20 years since ‘05 run it back
Jeez. I remember game 5 like it was yesterday.
That series made me want to drink. I was 12.
Why Sheed?
Actual factuals. I knew this would be a game. Spurs don’t back down and Pistons some dawgs
Pistons don’t make it past the second round with the shitty offense they’ve got.
Jumping the gun a little bit lmao.
Literally unbelievable that call on Cade lol
Refs are really letting them play physical tonight, but that shove was way too obvious to ignore.
The tech on Keldon there was a little much IMO
Keldon just needed to tell Duren to back up. Man is massive but we just saw against the Hornets that he won’t escalate the fight, even when it gets real lol.
It kinda kills the “enforcer” identity when you’re too level headed to eventually fight.
Duren isn’t the enforcer. Beef Stew is. And to a lesser extent Ron Holland
cade didn’t get a tech for this btw. that’s how this game is going for the spurs
Sounds about right
I turned this shit off 20 mins ago because I knew this is where it was going. I’m not interested in watching angry or watching someone get hurt live.
Doing good now bud
Thanks for the update :)
Where have I seen this before…
ya cause he’s ethical 🙄
one of the worst officiated games i’ve ever seen
Average Detroit game
Felt like wrestlemania out there tonight.
Really lowered the quality of the game.
Especially that 4th qtr. I was listening to it on the radio bc League Pass is bullshit and I couldn’t watch it on there and it was brutal
How did Cade not get a tech? He jsut pushed Castle down for no reason?
because these refs blow my fucking ass
they missed a blatant 8 second violation by a full second
Oh no
Refs want eyes on the stars until the final buzzer.
He pushed him out of frustration. Castle is an excellent defender.
Techs are for things that happen during dead whistles or non-basketball infractions. It would have to be a flagrant and imo (and the refs) it didn’t rise to that level.
Cade mad he’s being held to <30% shooting by castle
Cade wtf, how is that not a T
How Cade doesn’t get a tech is beyond my comprehension.
After review no less
No tech call is fucking disgusting
Every time I turn on my TV, the Pistons are getting into a fight.
Can’t wait for Bickerstaff to whine about this after the game.
How long before the new shine wears off, and the Pistons constantly getting into conflicts and then acting like they get treated unfairly for getting called for playing rough as hell gets old? It already kind of is for me, ngl. I like watching them play, but they need to pull back on the bad boy Pistons shit
Idk how you can complain about officiating when your whole defensive strategy is to foul the refs into whistle fatigue lmao.
Edit because I misread the first time:
Yeah, it’s wild how much Bickerstaff complains in post game interviews when his guys do shit like this pretty often
I believe he was agreeing with you
You right, I can’t read
“Imagine if Cade has Luka or SGA’s whistle! He’d be unanimous!” Like bro how do you not get a tech there
The only tech here should be on Cade. The fuck did Keldon do?
Real punk move by Cade tbh.
Can’t believe he wasn’t T’d up
Austin rivers is so annoying.
He is actually fucking terrible. Like not average or struggling, he is actual fucking ass
When we played the lakers that may have been the worst basketball commentary I have ever listened to Noah Eagle had to keep him in check lmao 🤣
Sucks cause Noah Eagle is great to listen to when the game is good, then they pair eardrum repellant Austin Rivers next to him…why???
Couldn’t tell you like both the eagles just wish they would pair them with better people like legler etc, guys who actually know ball lol 😂
I’ve had the game on mute the whole game lol
A sentiment that brings fans of every team together.
lmao that point was so soft for a tech
Spurs fans 🤝 Hornets fans
Pistons are a dirty team
Their fans are in such denial about it
But I was told it wasn’t the Pistons who seem to keep starting fights.
Dirty play by cunningham, and then shame on the officials for not giving a harsher penalty to cunningham. Officiating this game is terrible.
Pistons fans trying to defend dirty play is crazy, there’s a difference between being physical and being dirty, you can’t sweep everything under the guise of being physical.
The clown halftime crew said spurs over reacted to this smh 🤦🏻♂️
Castle clapping for Cade to not getting a tech
What a surprise. Detroits in a scuffle.
Cade is just cranky he’s 5-25 right now lol
Refs act surprised when scuffles breakout, it’s like someone didn’t do their job.
does the entire Pistons team have roid rage?
Pistons good for the league. They really bring that toughness back. Any team they play can get it. Potential finals match up would be lovely
Cunningham no technical?
Smh
pistons whole team is a bunch of bitches
Idk why Jalen is pointing fingers at anyone when all his ass does is walk away
Easy F2.
Unnecessary and excessive, he should’ve been tossed.
Cade soft charmin
Somehow no tech
Duncan Robinson was ready to mix it up this time. I think he got the message about last time.
He walked in knowing no one would hit him so he was the perfect seperator
Fake tough guys
Cade a bitch for that one
This game is spicy.
welcome back 05 Finals energy
dylan harper feeling conflicted lol
How is Cade not ejected for that…
This game has been great.
Next gen rivalries starting
Damn. Cade already getting the MVP whistle. How did he not get called for that?
Fuck bro he hit his head extremely hard there
Pistons and Cade are kinda a bunch of jackasses. Also they are frauds. Wemby playing like trash, Pistons allowed to goon and some of the Piston fringe guys are playing awesome yet they are still struggling against Spurs.
By hockey standards, that wasn’t even a “confrontation”
This is why we should have kept Sochan.
Someone would have died
The last Detroit/SA finals was basically a race to 80 every game, I’m much more excited about the possibility of this version
Another masterclass from the refs tonight.
I see people defending this because it’s Cade, if Rudy or even like Durant did this you’d call for a suspension
I don’t watch a ton of hockey but watching the Olympics and seeing wayyy more than this 10-20 times a game without a thought of a penalty is hilarious to me
What’s more ethical Cade: snapping your neck to draw a foul or assaulting a guy on the court?
Pistons are so childish
Case is a punk! GSG!
Cade is a dirty player, good that he got his azz beat.
Cade is one of my favourite non-Spurs right now but this plus the shoulder check into Castle on the block, you know he was absoutely frustrated with #5 today. A defensive masterclass.
Fn always Detroit. Been thugs for 40 years.
I mean, he was grabbing the shit out of buddy
team of thugs starting their second fight in two weeks, no surprises here
Those Pistons sure do love to make friends on the court
Castle knows how to lock someone up and get in their head. He is on his way to some Tony Allen/KG kinda shit
Cade is just angry Brunson gonna lead the ECF sweep
Alot of bright shoes.
Good thing it’s on peacock 🙄🙄
