That stretch he looked like prime AD

Can’t believe Superstar Caris LeVert’s teammates quit on him like that smh

Where is Jalen “DURENAYTON” Duren????? Why he disappeared??

Reed, Champagnie, McCain… I feel for sixers fans

I got downvoted to heck one time for saying Reed should take a lot of Stew’s minutes (and I like Stew a lot too). Reed is just a baller through-and-through, he’s at least above-average at every discernable ball skill (and this is a league where it’s difficult to be above-average at even any one skill).

Emblematic of the series so far. The 180 degree hot takes have been crazy when both teams just handled business at home lmao. Just glad I can listen to podcasts this week

We’re now 11 games into the playoffs and he finally has a real Spida game lol

Reminded me of Trae in the Hawks Cavs play in game a few years ago. Was completely shut down in the first half and then had 32 in the second.

Holding Spida to 0 with just a few minutes left in the half was impressive. He needs to bring it if they want to steal one on the road.

Not to mention giving up a 24-0 run to the Cavs 10 days after going on a 26-1 run against the Magic

Lol who remembers a random 20 year old song from someone who hasn’t been famous in years

I think at one point Mitchell and Harden had scored or assisted on almost 30 straight points

How much of that was Mitchell alone?

Live by the 26-1 run vs the Magic

Die by the 24-0 run vs the Cavs

Cavalanche

this sub has been a disaster for years

Feels like you need to hire a detective to even find this post game thread.

PGT generator was down

The problem is they need a presence inside. Paul Reed can score but can’t handle the bigs. It’s Detroits flaw they have to compromise with a lot of 1 way players

No point in benching him, whoever replaces him won’t be enough for what is to come. Duren needs to play until he’s good enough or else they have even less of a shot against the Knicks or OKC.

Ausur -27
Cade -23
Duren -12

Him playing well is their ticket to win the series. The only way out is through

Everyone: Allen is so soft in the playoffs

Duren: Hold my beer

DurAndre JAYton lmao

seems like his conditioning isn’t playoff level and his touch gets much worse when he’s tired?

Dare I say he was playing eons over his head in the regular season and defenders figured out how to deal with him

He actually lived with the monks every summer growing up

evan mobley would never. i don’t think he has reactions.

My opinion has done a full 360 this post season lmao, I started defending him and now I realize he is who we thought he was

Only people complaining about him are a bunch of bandwagon fans that don’t really know anything about the game of basketball. JB is a fine coach.

Pistons playing with more intensity down 10 with 10 seconds left than they did the entire rest of the game combined

Yeah that was somethin else….

Never seen that before lol

It was never dangerous lol

Subscribe. But I’d much prefer spurs/timberwolves vs Knicks. At least it would have a good outcome regardless (wemby era begins, Knicks break curse, timberwolves first ring)

My dad who can never remember any of the players is really gonna love two blue and orange teams playing each other

I mean really the Knicks are gonna be chillin for a week or more lmao

Neither can shoot and Ausar has real issues getting into foul trouble

nah amen thompson is pretty good ngl

Amen can at least make a layup

Very little praise for him tonight yet he was 1 rebound and it makes the front page lol

Interesting…

He almost had a 5x5!

I think the Cavs have to win game 5, I think going to 7 would not be a good thing

Cavs suck on the road so bad I don’t like their chances trying to play an elimination game on the road

Might be a reactionary take, but is it crazy to say I think Cleveland are favourites to win this series?

It’s 2-2 and the cavs have won zero road games this playoffs (and have been bad on the road the entire time Mitchell has been there)

I think the series started as a coinflip and remains a coinflip, though if I was a betting man I’d take the team with home court.

Cavs figured out the Pistons…..

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Depends on if it goes to 7 or not, they have to win game 5

Elite defense does that

yikes

The final minutes were our deep bench scrubs. There’s plenty of other ammunition for why we’re not

And your best player is Sengun.

Any game from the last two seasons we’ve played against the Thunder is all the evidence you need to know that we’re not. They’re a nightmare matchup for us and it looks like they’ll be repping the West in the finals for the next few years.

obviously the bench guys are not championship contender, thats true for most teams

So funny to me to see the overreactions after game 2, like the Cavs don’t play at another level at home. We saw it all first round.

Everyone always forgets the most classic playoffs quote that a series doesn’t start until a team wins on the road. Happened the reverse against the Raptors where after game 2 everyone was saying you would sweep them lol

you mean 40% from 3? and yeah i could definitely smell a game 5 where the pistons shoot 27% from 3 and the cav shot 46% and steal it

Me too. Very cool Cleveland!

The foul disparity in this game was 3x greater than in game 1. Game 1, y’all were called for 4 more fouls than us. Today, we were called for 12 more fouls. It was quite literally 3x more uneven

We’re gonna be so unstoppable when we realize that turnovers are actually bad

The Cavs are playing playoff basketball!

He’s averaging 3.6 fouls in 11 minutes of play this series, which is nearly 10 fouls per 36. So that’s probably why.

Beef Stew would probably get himself ejected by half time, dude is all temper.

Thats what happens when your not down 4 starters

Mobley and Allen are both very good at defending the rim without fouling. This year Mobley averaged 2.4 fouls per game and Allen only 1.7. Meanwhile the Pistons couldn’t keep Mitchell from the rim in the second half (shoutout Duncan Robinson) and had little recourse but to foul because Mitchell was able to score on Duren pretty easily once he penetrated. A big reason the Cavs PiP is so low is that they kept getting fouled around the rim. If you include FT makes that came from paint shots I’d guess the PiP are pretty similar, if not favoring the Cavs. The Cavs blew open the second half by attacking relentlessly. Sometimes splits like that raise an eyebrow. Sometimes they just indicate that one team played clean interior D while the other didn’t.

I mean yes, nothing to see here. Instead of letting the cavs score in the paint the pistons fouled. 

If Cleveland is so good then why have they not won a single road game in the playoffs? You don’t make a deep run in the playoffs without winning on the road

What?
