That is not their only problem though. Most importantly they also lack any secondary ball handler next to Cade, also lack any self shot creator, Combined with bad spacing, they of course lead to a non-existent half court offense. You can’t usually win multiple series with these.

If the plan is to stay in the league and not be a hindrance to your team then yes their dad should have had them train shooting as much as anything else. They’re basically the reverse Duncan Robinson, Tyler Hero, Trae Young.

Tbf Pistons are also just not built for a postseason run, the whole play super hard defense and rely on one player to be your primary scorer and playmaker falls apart when the game slows down so much

you have to have a 2nd option who can score or at least force pressure on the defense so they can’t just load up on Cade, Ausar is straight up a negative on offense, Stewart isn’t really much of a threat, Jalen Duren is pretty useless outside the paint, Duncan can’t dribble, etc

Detroit fucked up big time not going for MPJ or like Coby White in the trade deadline, they needed a scorer bad

It’s a regular season award and Duren was great during the season.

I don’t care how young the core is or that they have a lot of time still (and that is all true). The Pistons are this close to blowing this season sky high losing to a team that was on the verge of collapsing. If the Pistons don’t make it past this round they deserve a lot of shit.

As for the Magic, holy shit they have been excellent for most of this whole series and if they win I wonder if the plans to fire the coach are gonna be thrown out the door because this team looks so much more composed and built for the playoffs than they were for the regular season.

Yeah the Magic still look flawed, but the defense people expected all season has started to show up. It’s making Detriot look completely unprepared and lost on every posession.

Yeah I mean we didn’t have Suggs, Franz, and black at the same time for most of the season, they’re all fantastic defenders.

Good news Magic fans. It is literally impossible for a Pistons team to come back from 1-3 deficit against you guys even if they are a 1 seed.

Can anyone explain to me why the Magic are allowed to face another play-in team in the first round? It’s a bit unfair for the rest of us in the East no?

Unfortunately we just have to tip our caps to the Magic for strategically losing to the bench mob Celtics and Embiid-less 76ers in order to secure this matchup

Not one person on that Pistons team has a feel for the game

Tobias Harris was the only guy who could get his own basket down the stretch so ofc they ice him out of the offense for Cade to dribble the air out of the ball before passing it up for his teammate to have a worse shot - Magic have had that all figured out since G1

JZMoose | Heat

22 | 5 hours ago

I was blown away they didn’t run sets to get Harris posted up on the elbow. He was blazing hot from there and was bullying Suggs nonstop. Instead they went to Cade turning it over with stupid passes or clanking it from 3 early in the clock

One of the worst 1 seeds/60+ win team if not the worst of the modern era. Everyone clowns the 2015 Hawks but at least they made it to the ECF and lost to LeBron

Duren cost himself tens of millions, and Cade isn’t a tier 1 top 5 guy no matter who tried to shoehorn him in that convo

Paolo Banchero & Jalen Suggs shot a combined 5-31 and the Magic still won by 8. Pistons are frauds just like we all knew they were.

The Orlando Magic (3-1) take a commanding lead in the series and defeat the Detroit Pistons (1-3), 94-88.
