EarthWarping | NBA

hickok3 | Raptors

24 | an hour ago

Finally stopped forcing it to BI, and then we got some easy baskets. That has been our biggest issue, just refusing to run the offense that got us the lead in the 4th, and slowing everything down to force BI into a bad shot.

Cheechers23 | Raptors

6 | an hour ago

Our clutch offence was way more diversified. BI/Scottie/RJ/IQ all had possessions, and Yak was there as a finisher for some of them too.

tkc123 | Raptors

4 | an hour ago

Playing through RJ helped to not have BI iso after iso

Cheechers23 | Raptors

Not really. Detroit never got it under 5. They’re a great team, they were always gonna make a bit of a run.

soudlasantos

Detroit never got it under 5. They’re a great team, they were always gonna make a bit of a run.

except Pistons dont have a lot of ballhandlers/ shotcreators and are extremely reliant on their offensive rebounding and CADE (you remove Cade these guys are play-in team) for offence.

You guys have I.Q., Barrett, B.I., and even Barnes as shotcreators,,, also you took away their offensive rebounding so…

soudlasantos

1 | 26 minutes ago

We… didnt throw during the 4th?

After Detroit whittled a 14pt lead down to just 5pts (lol almost choke) with 4:01 remaining, B.I. responded with a massive 3pointer to stop the momentum. Also both B.I. and Barnes started 4th earlier than usual (i mean one of causes of Raptors throw is that these guys come in way way too late). And Barrett was able to score other than B.I and barnes

Do you know what “just” means?

NatsuAru | Raptors

1 | 23 minutes ago

Oh, I’m sorry grammar god.

“Did we just beat the Pistons and also the Thunder both on the year of our Lord 2026?”

I mean sure, only the Spurs and the Raptors beat both 1-seeds this year. But that’s not important.

I promise to consult you for a proofread in the future, God forbid this atrocity happens again. I profusely apologize for the sins I’ve committed, and I urge all of us, as a community, to ensure we be as specific as possible in our daily reddit lives.

SmackEh | Raptors

Dude. We LOST against OKC the last time we played them which was several weeks ago. Sure we beat them one time several months ago. But nobody would ever word it the way you did. Dear God just admit it was poorly worded and move on.

soudlasantos

Yeah you guys almost threw the game away at 4:01 time remaining after Detroit scrapped a 14pt lead down to just 5pts (lol).

Luckily Barrett was hitting his shots late cuz usually it was B.I. and barnes carrying the 2nd half (oh also B.I. was hiting his dagger 3s to ice the game). And Jakob became prime Kareem lmao.

Raptors got Shaqob Poeltl on this Sunday.

DannyzPlay | Raptors

5 | 39 minutes ago

Crazy the difference it makes when the team is operating with the 5 spot firing on all cylinders

rusty512 | Pistons

48 | an hour ago

Absolute disaster class from Jalen Duren. Don’t let the box score fool you, Poetl absolutely cooked him the entire night. I’ve never seen a player who puts up such amazing stats have such little impact on the game. I’m really starting to question whether I’d pay him.

hickok3 | Raptors

28 | an hour ago

Poeltl is a very underrated player, especially now with his back injury that forced him to miss half the season.

Derpy_Mc_Burpy | Raptors

6 | an hour ago

Problem with Poeltl is his mystery back injury. If that gets aggravated he’s crippled and we can’t do anything for long stretches. Otherwise he seems to be pretty consistent so thats good

onefootback | Raptors

11 | an hour ago

i think detroit will definitely pay him but it would be a mistake to pay him more than 30-35, he’s a good player but his lack of impact defensively as a big is alarming

ijj21 | Raptors

2 | an hour ago

A potential Andre Drummond situation?

rusty512 | Pistons

9 | an hour ago

Sadly I think so. I watch Paul Reed sub in for Duren and honestly what he provides isn’t that much less for a fraction of the cost.

bootywizard42O | NBA

1 | an hour ago

I haven’t watched enough of Duren to have a confident opinion on him but his skillset in the current NBA feels difficult to translate to winning basketball.

GunSlingrrr | Pelicans

1 | an hour ago

outside his physicality in defense, agreed.

rusty512 | Pistons

1 | an hour ago

Yep there is a reason why people say you ideally don’t want to pay a big man who can’t protect the rim or space the floor. Duren does neither.

bootywizard42O | NBA

1 | an hour ago

He seems like the prototypical skilled 4 from the mid 2000s, there’s value in the physicality, size and aggression he brings but not at the kind of money he would presumably demand.

rusty512 | Pistons

1 | an hour ago

Exactly, I think they likely will pay him to keep Cade happy but that basically kills the ability to improve the roster moving forward

ratfeesh | Raptors

1 | an hour ago

Jakob poeltl is a $30m player

soudlasantos

1 | 10 minutes ago

Absolute disaster class from Jalen Duren.

Duren+Amen thompson= Zero jumpshooting zero spacing

They are Rockets from last year???? u know the one cooked by 6th seed warriors.

Germ_germ | Pistons

1 | 6 minutes ago

Thank god Amen doesn’t have to regularly play with Duren 🙏

I will say that Duren and Ausar can be built around but you need pretty much every other player on the court around them to be a floor spacer. I think a volume 3-pt shooter at the 4 would fit this team like a glove.

heat_fan_ | Raptors

Jak is back monster game from him

So glad we have Ingram

Star J played great too

Afraid-Department-35 | Mavericks

17 | an hour ago

Holy crap, 18 rebounds. People have been saying he was cooked.

darklightultra | Canada

7 | an hour ago

His back is, he’s not a bad player but he’s making nearly 30 mil through 2030 with dodgy injury history.

akajaykay | Raptors

9 | an hour ago

He’s been lookin great the last couple weeks. Sat out most of the season, so I hope his back is mostly healed by this point.

ArenSteele | Raptors

0 | an hour ago

Jak is near all star level when he plays. The question is, are you going to get more than 50 games played

EarthWarping | NBA

? Hes not really even when healthy. And I think hes a good player.

Does JB Bickerstaff always have a upset looks at the refs? Feels like the pistons were getting every tick tack call and he was still upset

That’s all coaches brother.

Pretty much but then again most coaches act like the entire world is against them so he’s not really special

Yes he is always like that with the refs. Not sure I agree about the calls you think they got though.

shot the same amount of free throws lmao, play better

Jukyla

-2 | an hour ago

Cade got t’ed up so the refs had to take notice LMFAOOO. While BI just jumps up flails and gets the call. Most of the calls on BI weren’t even drives, they were just turnaround pull ups. Not even remotely the same.

ratfeesh | Raptors

7 | an hour ago

droppin non stop ethical buckets on ausar’s head all night, must’ve been a tough watch

Jukyla

-3 | an hour ago

BI dropping buckets Ausar aint the same as Cade dropping buckets on Scottie lmfao. Calling BI ethical today is laughable. Also BI was targeting duncan at the end ausar barely played today.

Soft-Owl-7262 | Raptors

Literally has the same amount of FTs. Refs let pistons maul Scottie and Jakob in the face and BI’s hand

asianmoist | Raptors

12 | an hour ago

70 points in the last 2 games. He cooking

soudlasantos

1 | 12 minutes ago

Also Ingram absolutely cooked too

Its not just him Barrett was also hitting his shots late in quarter (usually it was B.I. and barnes carrying the 2nd half). Raptors have a lot of shotcreators (unlike Pistons if u remove CADE lol) its just their bench production and defense is somewhat crappy so if their starting 5 rests they often choke their lead.

VoidTyrant | Magic

schoolhater12 | Raptors

Yep, I think the first playoff series win is an important milestone/barrier for young teams. I like the Pistons team so I will be rooting for them to win at least 1 playoff series

JeahNotSlice | TOR

Losing to the raptors when they are missing wide open threes is not a great look, but it’s just one game.

Certainly possible but the Knicks have won at least one round every year in the Brunson era. GM declared bankruptcy more recently than a pistons playoff series win

WhiteBakerMayfield | Cavaliers

Ma_Pies

As it currently stands, Pistons would go against Cavs in the 2nd round. I would bet on Pistons cause if you can’t slow down Cade, you’re not gonna win.

lol you act like the pistons aren’t some young emerging team. They took the Knicks to6 last year in a tough series and has been beating that ass ever since. Now the Pistons are the 1st seed and the Knicks are faltering.

bhris_cratt321

Brandon Ingram the ultimate scorer and do nothing else: 34 points, 1 rebound, 0 assists, 0 stocks. Great game from him and the Raptors today. Just found that statline funny

Exactly, Scottie has been having this unreal season without a big backing him up. He has had to be the perimeter defender, the rim protector, the help defender all at once. I am genuinely excited at the prospect of the Scottie, CMB combo with a healthy big behind them

We don’t have a legit second playmaker. We have two non-shooters in the starting five. Our two best players have stinkers from time to time. We haven’t won a playoff series with this roster yet. It’s not that hot of a take.

actually good raptors win. Great game by every starter not called IQ.

Poetl looked like Poetel. Best game all year.

Actual good BI game excepet that 4th quarter weakside turnover where he pretended to get hit.

Cade is very good so i am going to ignore the blatant assist spading attemps at end

I didn’t like Darko’s timeouts in the 4th, especially that challenge, was never going to be overturned
