[Highlight] The Cleveland Cavaliers defeat the Detroit Pistons 117-113 in OT of Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead. Cleveland ended regulation on a 9-0 run over the final 3 minutes to force overtime.
SAY IT WITH ME DUREN IS AYTON EAST
At least Ayton was a key part on a team that got to the NBA finals. Duren is genuinely playing worse than a role player.
I saw a young Ayton have his moments in a Finals run unlike Duren lol.
Yeah once Ayton got paid, he started to decline
Ayton was useful during the suns run
Something something only 8 million
cant blame him a big who cant shoot is not gonna work in nba. ben wallace will be the same
All he needs is a chain! Durenation? š¤
This is disrespectful to Ayton, who actually played well during his Finals run
Is this the first win for the Cavs away from home this postseason?
Yes
Genuinely insane
Yes, itās Clevelandās first road win of the Playoffs.
Can I have ten million dollars
hi silver can you eat my ass
Shut up bro
u/nba making comments wtf?? can I get a reply plz bby nbaš„ŗš
Gross. Reddit used to be free of needless corporate interaction. Gtfoh and make your own sub or pay people to post and mod.
Lecturing an 18 year old account about reddit’s good old days is kinda funny.
The social media guy who makes 60k a year reading this will make sure to send that right up the chain to Mr Silver.
I thought the NBA was a person - why would they have that username otherwise? Oh, wait, actually, maybe we should never say anything about a company unless you can talk to whoever is at the head of the company.
Indeed it is
Indeed
yes
Just fell to my knees in KrogerĀ
Just saw a man fell on his knees in Kroger
Watched some guy staring at some one who I think got pushed or something? Idk the one guy is on his knees.
I dont have any awards to give, but I rescinded my upvotes to the other 2 guys to make sure this comment stands above.
Get off that dirty floor, friend.
Iāll cry with you
Need a hand getting up?
sad Detroit basketball noises
Duren has cost himself millions upon millions bro holy shit
Jalen Duren: āmillions must goā
No he didn’t. If the Pistons don’t max him I guarantee someone else will. This changes nothing, sadly
What happened to him. Was it just nerves?
He is a regular season merchant. Teams actually try in the playoffs.
And the defensive player of the game is ā¦ James Harden?
Crazy finish. HardenĀ
I still love him. Udoka is a moron
How you can love Harden is crazy, the guy is horrendous to watch
Cause heās one of the best offensive players ever?
Lmao with this 2014 ass bozo take
Have you actually watched him recently?
Just appreciate greatness when you see it. No need to always be hating
sure, if hes playing against your team. one of the smartest and BEST players ever
Are we watching the same game?Ā Are you this sore oa a loser?Ā
If the Cavs had their post trade deadline roster at the beginning they wouldāve been the first seed
Playing Lonzo Ball minutes was such a miserable experience for them lol they were way better with Craig Porter Jr. on the floor.
Schroeder and Ellis were big updates in addition to getting rid of Hunter.
The Lonzo ball experiment is something I wish I could erase from my memory. It was rough to watch our team the first couple months of the year . Got rid of him , made some trades, went from .500 to over 50 wins. Crazy turnaround
I’ll always be thankful for Lonzo for facilitating us getting rid of Okoro
I loved Ice lol
Oh no lol. Your boy was cheeks
Donovan Mitchell is unlikely to be this bad again. This was the Pistons best shot to get an edge
Looking at the numbers Duren didn’t even play that much! He played 25⁄53 minutes, roughly the same amount as Levert and 16 minutes or more less than every other starter
Once again Paul Reed looks great on the box score but only played 17 minutes.
Why did Stewart not really play in the 2nd half? Did not play at all in the 4th quarter or overtime and only a few minutes in the 3rd
Thatās the JB bickerstaff experience . I donāt miss it . I remember how stubborn his rotations were when you guys smoked us in the playoffs
Sit the hot hand!
My man Mitchell has been this bad all playoffs
I feel like weāve played like 3 different playoff games so far where everyone says āoh donāt worry Mitchell wonāt be this bad againā afterwards
Cavs were down 9 points with a little under 3m left in regulation, btw
If by a little over a minute you mean 2 minutes over 1 minute (3 minutes). Sure.
Thought we were dead for sure. 103-94 or something with 2:30 left.
It’s crazy to me JB Bickerstaff continues to play Duren over Reed.
He did the same thing here with Merrill. I think hes hoping Duren breaks out and steals a game. Hopefully its a similar outcome to how Merrill was in the playoffs during his tenure.
They not going to win the finals if Paul Reed is their starting center. Play to your outs: you play Duren as if heās going to break out and get good again cuz thatās what you need to happen.
Let’s hear it for James MF’n Harden!! Clippers were wrong to trade him
They were not? It was the correct move for their time frame lol
I hope 9 toes Garland has a long successful career there
Youāre welcome. Harden was such a giveaway, Garland paid for it with a toe and 3 Reddit nicknames š
The Clippers started 6-21, finished with the 3rd best record in the NBA before the trade, and still had Kawhi and Zubac ā¦ but yeah ācorrect move for their time frame lolā š
I hate and love James Harden. How we win this game with Cade balling and Don being bad is bonkers
Get that hate out ya heart dog
Hates a strong word. Its just frustrating watching him throwing the ball away all the time but then also being great the other possessions
Detroit led 103-94 with 3:00 remaining in the 4th quarter before Cleveland closed regulation on a 9-0 run to force overtime.
The Cavaliers then outscored the Pistons 14-10 in OT, finishing the final 8 minutes of game time on a 23-10 run.
Over that run, Evan Mobley (9 PTS on 2-4 FG) and Donovan Mitchell (9 PTS on 4-5 FG) totaled 18 of the 23 points as the Cavaliers went 7-14 from the floor while holding the Pistons to 4-17 from the floor.
Itās so nice to be on the opposite end of a major choke for once . Iām sorry to Detroit fans because that game felt all to familiar
Someoneās spread just got nuked with that last basket š
Pistons had a 9 pt lead in the 4th wth happenedĀ
Classic JB bickerstaff choke job . Seen it far too often as a Cavs fan. Whenever we would be up by like 10 with a few minutes to go the offense becomes a stand around and do nothing offense to bleed time . Itās playing not to lose instead of playing to win . Mix in a few bad turnovers and a few 24 second violations because they went completely stagnant and didnāt run any sets or plays .
Got tired playing against the cavs and the zebras.
I have never watched and rooted for a team than can be so good and so bad at the same fucking time lol watching the Wolves-Spurs series and then watching this one, it’s night and day, just top to bottom of the rosters and the highs and the lows, both teams in this series going on runs of looking like the greatest team in the league then looking like the worst team in the league. Seems so random and lucky when either team wins because they went on the proper 5 minute lol
Spurs-Wolves is so much more enjoyable to watch itās crazy. Iām sure part of that is because the Cavs are my team and like giving me heart problems, but goddamn is this series sloppy at times
Bickerstaff got an extension after the Orlando seriesā¦ but I think his ass is in the hot seat next season.
Detroit sooks
Sigh.
Need to win 4 in a row now
jobbed.
And thankfully they still got the dub!
I know you weren’t trying to act like the refs weren’t letting the pistons get away with shit on every possession
Nice try with the nuggets flair, funny how a “nuggets fan” only comments in the cavs subreddit and never in the nuggets sub.
YKTPLA
All i know is pain
The refs defeat the pistons *****
Harden is so unwatchable and always has been. Kicking the feet out every three point shot is trash. Trash player playing a trash way
Pistons should have had multiple flagrants go read a book
Name 1 book
Which book?
Goodnight Moon or something
[deleted]
Cool Donovan Mitchell also got fouled 2 seconds before that . He shoulda got free throws. And you want the refs to decide the game 90 feet from the basket because legs got tangled with 1 second left. That would be a cheap ass way to end the game . It got settled in overtime rightfully so
No he didnāt
Refs gave it away. Such stinky bs.
RIP pistons LMAO. Shit hole city, poverty franchise, fake ass superstar, soft loser fan base. Bye!!
My guy, you’ve been posting this on every thread. Take a walk around the block or something. Did Cade steal your candy as a child?
Oh okay so heās just one of those Cavs fans? lol sadly every fan base has one
Yeah, sorry about him. Go Cavs but if Detroit is a shit hole city, so is Cleveland (it isnāt)
If you guys end up winning Iāll be cheering for you cause I donāt want the Knicks to win anything lol
How many times you gonna post this? You just won, be happy or something lmao
Acting like Cleveland isn’t a bigger shithole is hilarious. Even when you win you’re still a loser :)
Truly graceful in victory you are, what do they say about those in glass houses lol
Ohio and Michigan have a pretty big rivalry, post game smack talk is par for the course
I’m not American nor do I follow other sports so honestly the whole built in city rivalry thing didn’t even occur to me, thanks lol
The cfb rivalry between Ohio state and Michigan is one of the biggest rivalries in all of sports and permeates across other sports.
Who has more championships?
Imagine having 11 seasons of LeBron fucking James and winning a grand total of one title lmfao
True poverty franchise
Frā¦that would be like having Verlander, Scherzer and Miguel Cabrera on the same team and never winning a WSā¦ waitā¦
[removed]
Oof, someone is riled up. Cavs won the greatest ring with LeBron against the best team ever. Iāll take that over 2004 or whatever other nonsense rings yāall have put together.
Lions are the only team Iāve ever seen go 0-16 other than the browns. Yāall aināt nothing either. Crazy to bring them up
You sound upset. Need to relaxāgo watch film of the fourth quarter and OT tonight to calm yourself down.
How many times you gonna post this boss?
that’s a hilarious thing to say when you’re repping Cleveland which is just a smaller shittier version of Detroit
