Sucks they don’t reseed in the NBA

There you go. Maxey doing what he needed to be doing all 4th quarter. He’s the man for them, not Embiidz.

Amazing how Jaylen Brown wants the ball in his hands ever time down while Tyrese Maxey gives the ball up as fast as he can like it’s a hot potato. He’s got to be way more assertive for Philly to have any chance down the stretch.

As is BP. They are always the most expensive.

JB finally made changes. He played Duren and Caris less,. He got Reed involved and kept Ausar on the floor when it mattered.

No more 3’s Daniss!

They wouldn’t be playing a game tonight had the Pistons played the entire series with that kind of effort.

Find some way to win the 3rd quarter by at least 10 points. Get it down to 12 to start the 4th to have a chance.

Blake Griffin spot on. There haven’t been any adjustments at all the entire series.

Duren can’t start the 3rd quarter. He probably shouldn’t even play. It’s got to be Stew and Reed the rest of the way. Ausar can’t leave the floor except for a quick breath.

This could get Hawks/Knicks very quickly here if they don’t step up on defense right now.

All their shots are easy and open. Pistons are the worst good defensive team that I’ve seen.

No difference in tonight versus any of the other games they’ve lost in the series. Owned on the boards and allowing them to get to the lane much too easy. Duren non existent again.

I’d hate to be Larry Stoll’s Cardiologist. A lot of pressure in that job.

I’ve got a bad, bad feeling this is the night where Desmond Bane catches fire and goes for 35+ and shoots 70% from 3. That won’t be enough on its own but it means Banchero can just be good instead of Superman for the Magic to win.

Congrats to Bill Guerin for having the sack to make a big move and trade for Quinn Hughes even without a contract commitment. He knew it wouldn’t be a waste even if he couldn’t sign him long term. Even if it’s only 2 years, it’s been a massive success winning their first playoff series in a decade.

Spokane, Washington. A mere 2000 miles away from LCA.

Where is the demand for Duke vs. Gonzaga in Downtown Detroit. Who’s going to go to that. Seems like a terrible idea.

I’m not saying there’s no chance but it’s very, very slim they win on Friday. The reason is that despite Orlando being a tough matchup, JB refuses to make any changes or adjustments in order to maximize their chances to win. He’s taken the foolish approach of playing their game and focusing just on themselves thinking that’s good enough to win. There’s very little adjustment for their opponent. The same rotations, the same sets, same defensive assignments. There are buttons he can press to counter what the Magic is doing but he’s such a bad coach in game that he’s incapable of doing anything different.

Our perimeter defense has become Swiss cheese in crunch time. All of their shots are uncontested.

I hate this team and coaching staff so much. So frustrating

How many times is Ausar going to make an amazing defensive play and immediately turn it right back over with a careless pass.

Daniss misses ridiculous uncontested threes

Someone else is going to have to step up and make a few shots in the 2nd. They are going to start doubling him every time down. Daniss needs to be more like Toby and stop taking 3’s entirely.
