Please stop putting Harden in debates he has no business being involved in.

The dude is one of the biggest playoff droppers I’ve ever seen. You would think a guy who’s made the playoffs every year of his career would eventually elevate at some point. Not Harden

Damn didn’t know fake first seeds could go up 2-0 in a series, is that even allowed?

Goat Tobias has been unlocked, mismanaged by philly smh

4th year in a row Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen get punked on rebounds. They need to break up this Frontcourt it’s too soft.

JB Bickerstaff sends his regards 

Just one more playoff team trade for Harden or KD bro

I swear bro it’ll work this time

Please bro just one more

Congrats on winning the free throw battle Cleveland. Huge for you.

Tobias Harris lowkey been a playoff riser this year. Very impressive.

How is Kenny an NBA coach? What are these rotations? Why does he hate Tyson? I honestly think pistons win this in 5. No team can overcome this dumb ass coach and hardens turnovers. And Cade can get any shot he wants this series

YKTPWA

This is a reminder that the Cavs purposely wanted the 4 seed because they thought it was a better draw.

YOU KNOW THE PISTONS WON AGAIN

“They [Pistons] aren’t in our class.”

Cavs Pistons are frauds man. Cade Mitchell needs a second option and Detroit Cleveland needs better perimeter shooting if they’re gonna keep up

5 straight playoff wins btw

³⁄₁₃ FG 0-4 from 3 4 TOV Classic James Harden playoff disasterclass

Evan Mobley ONE REBOUND.

I repeat for those in the back, 7ft tall Evan Mobley with ONE REBOUND. 🚨

I know it won’t work that way but maybe Cavs fans will shut up about FTA disparity and stop acting like it’s a valid argument. It wasn’t valid in game 1 and it wasn’t valid tonight.

Feel a lot better about this game. Couldn’t get it done but they limited the turnovers a lot better in that second half. Detroit shot 50% from 3 and this was still a close game.

Gotta keep the same energy for game 3, obviously it’s do or die. Next two games are must win. After game 1 I was worried the team was just broken, but I think they still have some fight left. Got Mitchell going, turnovers and offensive boards were much closer, they did what they need to do in this series. Just gotta hit the threes and close out better on theirs. I have some hope this goes back to Detroit 2-2.

The Cleveland “We’re no Orlando Magic” Cavaliers

Despite the refs’ best efforts, the cavs simply refuse to win

Cavs just played one of the most unethical, floppiest games I’ve ever seen and still lost lmao, fucking disgraceful

Cade Cunningham is the fucking truth. Goddamn, he’s so handsome.

CADE CLUTCHING-HAM!

Rule of cool says the Ausar 3 counts

Also fuck James Harden, what a loser piece of shit. Thank God he’s on the Cavs!

Rudy Future Hall of Famer Gobert might’ve won a championship for the Jazz, if Donovan “can’t make it out of the 2nd round” Mitchell wasn’t his teammate in the Gobert and Mitchell era Jazz teams.

Another playoffs game, another James Harden as many or more turnovers than made field goals.

His now 46th playoff career game where be is happened.

Just crazy to me how this keeps happening.

KENNY ATKINSON OVER ME?!

James Harden was the best player for the Pistons in this game

Ausar was such a dawg in the clutch!

DETROIT. TAKE IT ALL.

DO IT FOR MY BOY.

BROOKLYN NETS LEGEND.

MY BELOVED, CARIS LEVERT

Classic James Harden choke job.

I mean. What did you expect. 2 playoff losers with Harden and Mitchell were never going to be a conference finals team

saw Mobley take more 3PTs in the 4Q than Harden and Mitchell combined. he also had 1 rebound all game. deeply unserious team.

We want New York

when’s the last time james harden saw his chin

ive been replaying pokemon crystal lately and dude it’s been so fun. would highly recommend tbh, did you know you can get early phanpy and teddiursa before the 1st gym

Mobley has been absolutely nonexistent this series. 9 points and 1 rebound is crazy work.

“Jimmy Butler over me??”

Pistons fans have every right to shit talk the fuck out of us. At this point I’m rooting for y’all to make it to the finals.

Ps JAMES HARDEN IS A FUCKING FRAUD

Mobley 7 feet tall with 1 rebound. Jesus

the Cavs got all of the softest calls and still lost damn

Lot of series left but Harden is not doing himself ANY favors so far

A healthy Raptors would’ve beaten this overrated Cleveland squad

Cavs get dogged by team with more heart and effort. Water is wet.

Mobley sorry ass hell too 1 board the whole game LMAO

Evan Mobley is untouchable in ALL trades.

Supposedly, Cleveland wasnt worried about the Pistons before the series started.

Cavs fans are allowed to scapegoat Harden cause he’s that ass.

0-11 from three in the 4th quarter. Cool!

Playoff Harden - that is all

40 mill a year for that? Come on Harden

Cade is so good, bruh. Amen out here getting to see a real leader in action.

I really wish we didn’t trade for James Harden

Cavs are in their fourth straight playoff appearance and they still a rancid road playoff team

Cavs fans complaining about coaching this series is just peak

JAMES HARDEN WELCOME TO THE GUANGZHOU LIONS

Cade is what a playoff riser looks like

Thank God Cleveland kept forcing it to Harden. We were able to play him straight up pretty easily.

Cavs are just straight up better with Harden off the court and Shroeder out there with Mitchell. Dude just looks so slow.

Don’t know how you can watch the Pistons the last 5 games and not call them the favorites to come out of the east.

Defense is elite and role players are showing up in the biggest moments

Every time a pistons player made a clutch play, the camera would pan to them and they would look locked the fuck in, zero emotions displayed at all. They are a scary team when their offense is running smoothly (ik thats a big if)

Every game the Pistons win makes them going 7 with the Magic more baffling

No way the basketball gods were letting the Pistons lose this game with how unethical the Cavs flopping+ refs rewarding them were tonight

I’m starting to think Pistons are not frauds

I can’t believe the refs made Cleveland lose again

I was thrilled every time Harden checked back in. The Cavs are noticeably worse when he’s on the court. 

congrats on your precious free throws cavs fans

DETROIIIIT BASKETBALLLLLL

I’m not an expert or anything but maybe stop shooting threes at some point. That was rough.

Nah ain’t no fuckin way the Clippers got DG for this washed up bum. Get me Steve Ballmer on the line right now to reverse this trade.

Harden Disasterclass

Harden sold the game

Orlando Magic upscale after every game

All flops and all whistle and they still had no shot in hell. COME TO DETROIT AND GET PIST ON

The entire Donovan Mitchell Cavs era is punishment from the basketball gods by letting them get eliminated by the teams Lebron used to beat

If anyone ever figures out why the pistons keep getting lucky and getting teams on bad shooting nights lmk. This is getting ridiculous!!

What was the cavs thinking trading for the corpse of Harden.

Think the Knicks dodge a bullet by getting Brunson instead of Spyda… I saw like 0/3 fg and a missed ft from him during the last 5 min

You love to see it

Harden is washed

JAMES HARDEN IS GIGA WASHED

Playoff James Harden is inevitable

31 combined from Jenkins and Robinson

Mitchell will retire without having a single game where he played good D all the way through

Hardens gonna get killed but Mitchell wasn’t that good either. He has a lot of points but it feels like he can’t run an offense like Harden can and his shots just get worse and worse later into the game

Harden is washed. Mitchell is in the middle of his prime and his teams look lost at this point every year

Cavs shot more FT this game… Unfortunate for them The DIFF stayed the same.

I’m generally in favor of prison abolition, but watching Ausar Thompson lock dudes up is one of the greatest joys in life

Cavs should just blow it up.

I’m starting to think “aiming for the fourth seed to play Detroit” was just cope for earning the fourth seed

Cade is him 

Is Duncan Robinson a white on white crime merchant? Dude dribbled literally zero times in the magic series to the point he was near unplayable. Now, he dribble drives and takes sidestep 3s on Wade and Strus.

Strus and Harden were so bad you would think they were playing for the Pistons with how much they were trying to lose the game for the Cavs.

I came into this series ambivalent about Cleveland, but am quickly losing respect.

The flopping is just egregious.

The Harden trade was a massive mistake.

You could make the argument the Cavs have a better chance to win games if Harden only comes off the bench.

If a fake #1 seed is up 2-0, does that mean that the playoffs themselves are fake?

Is any of this real?

Is this a simulation?

Playoff Harden, Cav fans. Do you get it now?

James Harden I am familiar with your game

DEEEETROIT BASKETBALL

This Cavs team is embarrassing. Soft as shit smh

Time to give Orlando their respect 

With Franz healthy they’re a top 3 seed in the east 

Where all the Harden fans at that love to insist his playoff reputation is overblown?

Embarrassing shit from Cleveland. You get a friendly whistle all game, still whine, still flop, still get beat.

Thompson has got to be smarter, particularly when he’s playing defense on guys who like to hit the deck. He is so important to Detroit.

Shout out Jenkins, so many hustle plays and big shots.

As a magic fan, I still feel vindicated … coping ..
