Story of fucking Harden career post-Hou. Traded to be a fucking 2nd/3rd option, and his fucking 1st option always has to fuck it up omfg

iwantsomecrablegsnow | Pistons

24 | 4 months ago

i dunno man. He’s still really good. They are just having ausar shadowing him and the offense flows through Harden that way. Ausar just locks people down like that. They gotta get some switches (they did it a few times) and apparently run moving screens against ausar since he fights them. i think 3 of his fouls were fighting through screens.

I said that Mitchell isnt playing up to this usual standard a few days ago, and people kept bringing up he had 39 pts in a half. He aint getting that 39 pts if they got their backs blown out by the pistons. Harden was the main reason the game was even close enough that Mitchell was able to find his rhythm

California_Stop_King | Cavaliers

I’ve long been out of patience with this core, but continually thought if we could just make one more upgrade, one last big move, especially in the front court, we could still reach the summit. After tonight, I’m ready to blow it up. No intensity out of the gate… again. Live ball turnovers… again. That’s on coaching, albeit it was like that when JB was here too. Player wise, Donovan Mitchell, with the chips down, comes out and lays a complete stinker, and it’s not the first time. A complete failure to launch from 3, and multiple misses point blank. The ball has a tendency to stick when he’s not making shots too. We can’t win with him as our #1, and we can’t afford to pay another player like a #1 with Mobley on the books. Speaking of Mobley, -24. After a huge Q4 in Game 5, nothing about it carries over. Jarrett Allen pantsed defensively time and time again by Paul Reed and Jalen Duren alike. No one but Strus steps up from our gang of role players. At home. It’s over.

Folk-Herro | Heat

California_Stop_King | Cavaliers

Agreed. I blame Kenny a little, especially on our horrendous defensive communication, but at a certain point the players have to play to the level they’re paid. And Donovan and Evan aren’t doing it. I blame Harden a little, but time has shown you can’t expect him to show up for all 7 games of the series. And after a big G5 from him, this was the perfect time for the other stars to show out. They didn’t.

Mitchell isn’t a winner. Thank you Danny Ainge for realizing that, so he started a rebuild so the Jazz can tank into drafting a Darryn Peterson

Darryn Peterson would be lucky to have Spida’s career, be real

He’s a pure scorer and not a good playmaker so if you shut down his scoring he’s essentially useless. He’d make a great 2nd or 3rd star on a championship team though

Honestly he’d be great next to Cade

I was actually just thinking that lol. All he has to do is worry about scoring which is the Pistons biggest weakness outside Cade/Tobias. And Tobias should never be a second option but it’s somehow worked so far for them. Cade/Spida/Tobias would be a really good offense.

… so long as Spida isn’t shooting tour numbers

Man, D Mitch -25. This cant be the franchise player bruh. I knew when everyone was gassing him up cause he hit 39 in a half, I fucking knew this guy would no show again. Harden having to carry another huge offensive load, close to a fucking decade after his prime is soooo fucking ass.

Win Sunday and I almost don’t care what happens in the ECF, this has been great experience for this young core. This team was supposed to be a one and done or maybe make the ECSF and get swept when the season started. Going to the ECF is way ahead of schedule

Then I think how funny it would be to win that because of how annoying Knicks fans are

Best part of the game is the Harden committing the most atrocious flop on a 3pt shot that led to Wade slipping and giving up a wide open dunk 🤡🤣

Detroit got that dawg in them. The play with the two crazy saves into Reed’s drive hanging on the rim for 3ish seconds before rolling in encapsulates the whole spirit of this Pistons team. They won with depth and hussle; Marcus Sasser (normally a third stringer in their rotation) had a sensational +27 in 18 minutes. Offensive rebounds were the difference maker in this game.

he for sure hasn’t shut up the haters yet, but this was a very positive sign. he has to play good in more than 1 game in a series first. still, good game from him. hope this helps him get this monkey off his back

Man they lowkey got handed the last game and then couldn’t close it out at home, yikes. Pistons definitely deserve to move on. Embarrassing for Mitchell.

What a pathetic showing from the Cavs. Chance to end this thing tonight and they let the Pistons back in to win it.

The amount of layups they straight up fumbled was insane

No Robinson? Pistons lose.

Got Robinson? Pistons win.

Pistons apparently can not be eliminated.

I know they weren’t the only issues tonight but my god is it so frustrating watching the Cavs big men just NOT be big men. There was one possession where the floor was wide open, D Mitch was driving on Duren, and Mobley was off by the 3 point line at the corner. If he just came in for the lob threat, it was a guaranteed bucket but no, he just stayed lurking outside.

He didn’t take a significant amount less shots per minute than either of those guys not sure what you’re getting at. He’s been good this series tho

That Donovan Mitchell performance was putrid. ⁶⁄₂₀ is not going to win you anything. -25 on the floor as your first option is alarming. It’s time for a make or break performance in Game 7.

The Detroit Pistons (3-3) force a Game 7 by defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers (3-3) 115-94, behind a balanced team effort with six players scoring in double figures.
