Open shot, the fate of the universe on the line, the Martians have the death beam pointed at Earth, you better hit it… I want GAME 7 JARRETT ALLEN.

Harden trying to get his first ring while the Knicks are trying to go back to the finals for the first time since the 90s. Going to be good.

I’ve been waiting for this day, thank god. Harden is still awful scoring wise at Game 7’s still though.

Game 7 JA is the real deal. Meme’s dead.

I’m happy he has had 2 big game 7s in this post season. I don’t know why but Jarrett Allen is so likable lmao

Duren has rightfully taken on his mantle

Game 7 Jarrett Allen is the best center in NBA history

The lights were just right

Gotta keep everyone on their toes

Never let them know our next move, LET’S GO WIN THIS FUCKING CHIP!!!

We are the Levert wheel personified

Yep. I know LeBron made it look easy just coasting to the finals every year but this up and down randomness of our team is so strange lmao

I do think you’re playing other team most liable to look like a juggernaut one night and a play-in team the next in the Knicks.

Funniest thing they could do is sweep the next two series lol

My God…it never even began for the Pistons tonight!

What a weird ass series lmao

If you told anyone who just watched Game 6 that this would happen, no one would believe you.

Cavs missed 16 free throws

James Harden finished the game with a +/- of +31.

“but the refs!!!”

Side note, those last few minutes of garbage time from him were some of the worst I’ve ever seen at the nba level. Dude kept messing up lol

Harden also had a poor performance and outside of Merrill, not too much offense from the bench.

The fact that Cleveland was up 30+ is a testament to how outplayed Detroit was tonight.

Save it for the Knicks.

Man, so sorry for Duren going MIA for real in the playoffs, you guys got some really good pieces there, absolute huge respect for Ausar and Cade, great ballers. GG Pistons and hopefully you guys become a force in the East with that young core

The sad thing is that I feel like if you told people that the pistons made it to the 2nd round and lost to the Cavs in 7 it would be considered a success, but this series felt like anything but.

Despite being ²⁄₁₀ from the field btw

But game 7 Harden

Sam Merrill outscored Thompson, Duren and Harris combined. That’s fucking outrageous.

0/6 TOBI MASTERCLASS

Tobias harris over me?!

0 fgs in his last game (elimination games both times) for two franchises. The man was on a max and then 25mil

his last sixers game was a zero point game

Unc had no legs left, every shot he put up was short

Game 7 Tobias outdueled Game 7 Harden

Pistons fans real quiet about how good of a signing he was now

Crazy because you could argue this year was an improvement for Detroit (best team in the East in the regular season and made it to the second round this time).

This playoff run by them was embarrassing though

It’s like they didn’t know it was a Game 7 at home for them. Playing like it’s a road game in February.

he didnt score well but he didnt turn the ball over, made great passes and showed some hustle. played good defense too. im not complaining

Harden is HIM. 2 clutch game 7 victories already.

He didn’t score well but they didn’t need him to. Kept the offense moving well enough when Donny had to sit and only had 1 turnover. Played good defense too, but obviously he’s going to get shit on for the shooting performance even in a win lol

I don’t celebrate til the clock says 0:00. We’ve blown way too many leads for years.

What he say fuck me for?

Trajan Langdon got some work to do this offseason

Saddest moment of the whole night was Ausar Thompson getting the ball wide open in the corner and reluctantly having to shoot a 3 that didn’t even make it to the basket.

why he said fuck me for

if only Orlando could have had a semi-functional 2nd Half in G6… they have to be kickin themselves right now…

Cade had a horrible game, but I’m getting him a pass because he’s the only that showed up to this series.

This may be the most frustrating Cavs team of my life. They so consistently play below their talent level. Now, there are lots of teams that play below their talent level. What makes the Cavs so frustrating is that they actually do play up to their talent level from time to time. There is plenty of evidence that they are capable. But most of the time they just… don’t.

CLEVELAND THIS IS FOR YOU

2nd apron = no problem

1 bus load to MSG = I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY

I know it’s a joke but I don’t think you understand just how much money 29 billion dollars is. I couldn’t spend that in my entire lifetime if I tried

I’m looking forward to a Thinking Basketball autopsy on wtf just happened. Detroit is tough as nails, I don’t think you can chalk this one up to them randomly not showing up for a Game 7 on their home court. Most likely Cleveland threw out some new wrinkles for Game 7 and Detroit’s coaching staff failed (miserably) to adjust. I was hoping for SVG to have some observations along these lines but no dice (or maybe he did have some good insights along these lines and I just missed it).

First conference finals for Donovan! That’s a medium monkey off his back already

Allen and Mobley were absolutely killer tonight. And credit to Mitchell for coming out with a “I don’t give a fuck about narratives” mindset and doing whatever it took to win.

You’re right. But it felt like the 2 dagger shots were the Mitchell buzzer beater after 1, and the Merril 4 point play.

Detroit showed no heart tonight.

He made a lot of great passes today and played great defense, shot just was shit today

to be fair it was a much (much) better game than the numbers suggest

Harden trying to get his first ring while the Knicks are trying to go back to the finals for the first time since the 90s. Going to be good.

How long you been holding this one in bud?

lmao fans are gonna leave early if their team is getting blown out no matter what 

it’s also a school/work night, I’m on the West Coast so that means it’s like 9 or 10:50 in detroit right now right? 

Be honest.. You’d stay and watch even though your team got eliminated in the 3rd quarter? No chance

How are they this inside ur head bruh lmfao

30 of 30 fanbases would do this in this situation. I’m sorry some Pistons fans hurt your feelings. Good luck in the conference finals.

I mentioned to the person I watched the game with that it was very clear that both Harris and Allen felt that Harris couldn’t guard Allen.

With that said, Allen is a genuinely excellent post player. He’s really underrated in that regard and I don’t think people appreciate that he is legitimately one of the best post players in the league. I think people just think of him as a rim runner but he’s way more than that. His footwork is exceptional and if he gets the ball against a smaller guy within like 8 feet of the rim, it’s almost always two points.

I mean we were missing free throws from our bigs but yeah, Tobias was straight up dumb fouling and not just trying to defend the shot

Shout out Mark Price, Brad Daugherty, and a genuinely excellent Cavs team that Michael Jordan completely erased the memory of.

5 all stars. ⭐️

I agree man lol this Pistons teams are the poster child of a #1 seed fraud
