MattPatriciasFUPA | Pistons

My team wins by more than one possession? Blowout, score doesn’t reflect the domination.

My team loses by 30+? Nailbiter, closer than score indicates.

Oh no, the second part of our curve is “lose by 30? Magic experience - fire Mosley”

EthicalBballFan | Heat

My team is 0-5 against the Magic, but let me tell you why it’s actually closer than the score indicates:

Game 1: our shots clearly missed.

Game 2: we missed easy 2nd chance points (bad rebound control).

Game 3 and 4: very close but nerves make these losses understandable.

Game 5: likely didn’t happen due to the Heat being already dead.

Scottie was a rookie and the 4th option and got hurt by embiid lol

Mind you Paolo the number 1 pick and has led his team to exactly the same number of playoff series wins as Scottie (aka zero)

Enjoy the trade package after you guys blow it up again!

That and the lack of spacing when Amen and Duren are in and your shooters are out like when Amen, Duren and Ron holland were on the same floor at the same time, the offense is extremely putrid (also Duncan robinson being out does not help).

Edit: Amen and Ausar are just same picture lol sorry I misidentified the twin

websdue

0 | 4 hours ago

I feel like if ~~Amen~~ Ausar does not improve his jump shooting next year and Pistons does not get past the 2nd round in playoffs, either him and Duren needs to go. Look at Stephon Castle guy is 28% 3pt shooter last year and now for the last 10 games Castle is now shooting 40% from 3pt range.

Corporate needs you to find the differences between this picture (Amen) and this picture (Ausar).

They’re the same picture

I think it’ll develop, and honestly even if it doesn’t his defense is so good I don’t think he can just be cast aside

1Tims | NBA

Im curious how much he gets paid

1Tims | NBA

1 | 3 hours ago

Ausar lowkey has been as important as Amen, pistons just need a secondary creator/shooter to help Cade out. Especially when the playoffs start and the game slows down. Comparing a guards shooting to a centers is interesting

Once the playoffs start the game slows down good luck with cade as ur only ball handler and lack of shooting.

throwaway8943265 | Pistons

2 | 3 hours ago

Common take by people who don’t watch the Pistons, but Cade is not our only, of either of those things.

But we were also missing Tobias Harris, Caris LeVert, and Duncan Robinson this game.

1Tims | NBA

1 | 13 minutes ago

Exactly my point if you are relying on said players in the playoffs to have significant roles ur team is cooked.

frostysbox | Magic

Bill Simmons had a thing where they were ranking the teams left and were talking about first round upsets (they pegged Detroit as maybe one) and were talking about how shitty the Magic were the whole podcast cause it right after the Toronto game.

I later told my husband the actual most Magic thing ever was we somehow beat the pistons round one and somehow manage to save Weltman and Mosley thus dooming us to a similar season next year. 😈

BigDaddyD1994 | Pistons

Man, I really do look forward to this narrative dying a painful death in the coming postseason. It’s so tiresome. Detroit was a combined 8-3 against those teams this season and none of the games against NY were even very close.
