Deleterious

Maybe not.

Feels like one of those Hardaway 12 point quarters is coming.

That was nice

0 assists for Cade? 4 for the team. That has to be a season low for Detroit in a half this year.

Up 6 at the half. Like Betrayer said, should be 15.

Yeah, that was a terrible call in this game.

Bridges made the shot but that was good defense by THJ.

OG put his knee in Cades chest, no foul.

Both teams are so sloppy.

I bet they have left 8-10 points off the board with dumb turnovers on the break.

As much as I dislike Harris, it really isn't fair to ask him to guard Towns.

Area lot of guys slipping on the floor?

Up 7 at the end of the first. Pretty good for not playing very well.

I already hate Paul Reed

Cade looks much better.

Who would you put on him? You can't use Cade. He isn't a very good defender plus you don't want to tire him out or get him in foul trouble. I don't know what the Knicks playoff record is for points in a game. But I know who would hold it if they put THJ on Brunson.

I wonder if Grant Hill will compare Cade to Grant Hill.

Playoffs are about exploiting mismatches and adjustments. We didn't make Brunson defend the PnR enough. Curious to see if they make the adjustments to make that happen more On defense we have to stop the layup line. Losing Stewart is huge but there are still things they can do. Mix in some zone.

He is talking about Naz Reid. They have no cap space to go after him. They could move some contracts to do it. But that would require them sending out draft picks for teams to eat salary. Not sure if we are there yet. Plus, he just isn't that good on defense. You can get away with it next to Gobert. But it would be ugly next to Duren.

They don't do a watch party at LCA? I loved going down to The Palace for those. I think they charged like $10 that went to some charity. Maybe there is something going on at LCA tonight.

Two rules I would change in F1. You can no longer touch a car under a red flag. Stop putting the pole sitter on the outside line of turn 1.

100% not a flagrant and not even sure how anyone could think that. Did he go at his head? Not even close. Did he undercut him in the air? No, Hart never touched Hardaway's body. Not even close to being a flagrant. I replayed the video multiple times, and I'm still not sure if he even touched Hardaway's arm. Even if he did, it was after the ball was in the cylinder and out of Hardaway's hand. By definition, that is not a foul. Legal play, defender ‘high fives’ shooter’s empty hand after release, no foul I also reject the idea it changed momentum. This happened at the 3:09 mark in the third quarter, with Detroit ahead by 4 points, 80-76. I posted that at around the 9-minute mark of the fourth quarter, Detroit was up 98-90. So after the momentum changing no call, the Pistons increased their lead from 4 to 8? In 6 minutes of game time? Even if it was 100% a foul, I don't want little BS things like that called. Outside of maybe Houston, my team plays the most physical brand of defense in the entire league. If you start calling little BS stuff like this, it's over for Detroit. We need to be physical, push/pull/grab, to play our style of defense. Calling crap like this would be a net negative for us. It will either lead to us playing softer defense, which is bad. Or our guys in constant foul trouble, which again is bad. This play had zero impact on the game. It didn't lead to our shooters going ice-cold. It didn't lead to all the dumb turnovers. It didn't lead to us getting dog walked 21-0. It didn't lead to the layup line in our restricted area.
