Harris fouled him first

Challenge that

Even when he scores, I love the possessions where Mitchell shoots without anyone else touching the ball

Cade had 10 in the quarter but he had plenty of help too.

That was a classic Pistons quarter.

Cade has the worst star whistle in the entire league

Put your foot on their throat

Jenkins came to play

Duren can muscle Mobley

Smart of Duren to go at Allen to draw his third foul.

Two fouls on Allen

Getting killed by Cleveland offensive rebounding

Peacock. If you have YouTubeTV it's also on NBC Sports Network.

Isn't that about where Duren would go in a redraft today?

Huerter is questionable. Cleveland has nobody listed.

Cleveland has some tough matchups on defense. Mitchell pretty much has to be on Robinson. He gives up a lot of height but its not like Robinson will take him down low. Allen will get Duren. They probably start Wade and he gets Cade. Mobley gets Thompson so he can roam. That leaves Harden on Harris. If they do put Mobley on Harris, it's a win for Detroit since it opens more space for Cade because Mobley has to stick to Harris more than he would on Ausar. Either way, Cade should hunt Mitchell constantly. He has 4 inches on Mitchell and can take him mid-range and rise up over him for a jumper anytime he wants.

Harris could be the key to this series. If he is the turd that showed up the first 6 games against Orlando, the Pistons are in trouble. Odds are they are going to cover Harris with Harden to let Mobley play Ausar and roam free to spy on Cade. Harris needs to work Harden if that happens. If he can get them to switch Mobley back to defending him, big win for Detroit as it should free up some more mid-range space for Cade.

The Pistons shot 31% on three pointers where there wasn't a defender within 6 feet of the shooter in the Orlando series. That isn't good defense, that is a shoot slump. In the regular season they shot 37% in those situations. A few guys started hitting some threes in game 7. Hopefully that holds up going into this series.

I wouldn't. It takes away their one legit three point threat. It also makes Harris try to defend on the perimeter, which won't be pretty. Mobley is more of a finesse big anyway. He won't bully Harris like Banchero did

Hey, you say something dumb so I can respond on my podcast for clicks. Also, the airline bailouts don't even rank top 3, do they? Fannie and Freddie, S&L, AIG, the auto bailouts in 2008 were all bigger I'm pretty sure.

That would be pretty hilarious. Trading your lottery pick in one of the most stacked drafts in decades for a center. Then turning around 12 months later and trading away your best trade asset for another center. But wait, there's more. The new center you traded for has a range of about 3 feet from the rim. The same range as your PF. So now you have created some of the worst spacing in the league, and you traded away arguable your best 3PT shooter to do it. But wait, there's more. You probably signed Duren to a stupid contract that will be one of the worst in the league. You traded away Murphy, who at $27/29/31 million a year for the next three years is one of the best contracts in the league. That is terrible roster management, even for Joe and Troy.
