I have no idea who’s going to win this series.

Cade is shooting 39% and Duren seems like he just learned how to play basketball, but the Cavs go through stretches where they seem to think turning the ball over is how you win

gradedonacurve | Knicks

Yea I was pretty confident after the first 3 games the Pistons were going to win but it feels like the Cavs figured some stuff out in this game. On the other hand, they’ve not been good on the road so far.

So yea I’m back to no idea.

I don’t hate the Knicks but not sure it’s just one team. I would love if my team had half the success the Giants have since 2000. I know it’s dried up post-Manning, but the Giants were amazing in the 2000s.

NY idiot fan tries to rip out Mookie Betts arm while he’s trying to catch a foul ball. NY idiot fans go viral for throwing bags of garbage at a Pacers fan wearing a Tyrese Haliburton jersey. Crowd of NY idiot fans almost physically endanger a Sixer fans because he was wearing a Sixers jersey in NYC. I wonder what to expect from NY fans next. I guess wear neutral colors if you are going to NYC to watch a Knicks game especially if you are planning to root for the other team

This one has the box score so this one will stay up.

I’ll repost my comment from the other thread;

What will it take for JB to start Beef Stew? Duren needs to be humbled so he starts putting in effort. Stewart always has hustle no matter what.

RulersBack | Cavaliers

18 | a day ago

I also said this in the other thread lol but the problem is they still need his presence inside. For everything Paul Reed and Stew bring they can’t handle the Cavs bigs in the same way. If Detroit loses its because they have to rely on too many 1-way players. At this point tho I’d just throw them out there to see what it looks like

B Ball Paul in 15 minutes tonight tied Duren’s highest score for this entire playoff run.

Duren is also a pretty average defender, the Cavs bigs are a bad matchup regardless so I’d rather the big who gives something offensively

paul reed needs to start. Stew has been a step slow this series too

Ok_Possible_5702

Stewart can only be played once you see how refs are calling the game. If the refs are calling a tight game with the rulebook being applied, BeefStew will foul out in 15 minutes and likely give up a shit ton of FTs

This is a dogfight of the two most inconsistent teams in the league, Cavs have more talent, Pistons are more competent, I still think Pistons in 7, but it could swing either way.

If I’m the Lakers, I’m offering AR for Asur. They desperately need more offensive playmakers, because their scoring output has not been it.

Lakers desperately need a athletism and a POA defender.

Win-win for both teams.

Ok_Possible_5702

3 | a day ago

You’d have to revamp the entire roster. You can only play Ausar with 4 other shooters on the floor, and right now your center and the remaining SG (which would be Smart) are both below-average shooters.

This would be decent if AR didn’t get hunted more than any 6’5” guard I’ve ever seen.
