Deleterious

They have come out of halftime on a mission

Harris sitting much better tonight

Thompson is so disruptive on defense

Cade cooking Nice defense by Robinson to trigger that

Easy call on the Bane kickout

Tied at the half, but it doesn't feel good.

Suggs picked up foul #2 with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the half. They haven't put him in the PnR once since. That is on Cade just as much as JB.

Don't leave Bane to double

Banchero hunting Robinson

Orlando is shooting 31% from the floor and it's a tie game

Duren doesn't have the offensive skill to score if the roll isn't there

Thompson has to learn how to use his fouls better

I think JB forgets Ausar is on the team sometimes

The turnovers and poor defensive rebounding are giving Orlando a lot of extra possessions

Jesus, Duren

Usually, depth is a positive. Maybe not when your coach struggles with lineups

Jenkins has been bad at the line

Now they are really small with Jenkins in for Cade

Good defense from Stew

LeVert wasting no time before screwing up

Defense scoring points the last two possessions

Great block by Thompson

Duren looks awful Great block by Cade

I don't think Sasser is a very good basketball player. Doesn't create for himself or others, doesn't score well, doesn't defend well. He does seem to shoot the 3 well, but that isn't good when its all you can do. An even bigger reason not to play him is the Magic lineup. Game #1 saw 9 Magic players get on the floor. One was 6'5" one was 6'6" and the rest were 6'7" or above. We're already at a disadvantage running 6'1" Jenkins out there. You can't really afford to add a second 6'1" player in Sasser as well. If the Pistons wanted more shooting then Green was the answer. He played 4m46s and in that time had 3 points and went to the line 4 times. He plays solid defense and shoots 38% from three. He played 0 minutes in the 2nd half.
