Deleterious

I don't really understand the logic of leaving Harris and Robinson on an island against Harden three times in a row. I'm not comfortable counting on my two worst perimeter defenders to win me a ball game against one of their best offensive players. Not a fan of letting Cleveland dictate how things would go down. The Pistons just switched so easy and then sat there watching our guys struggle. We should be dictating how things go. Stop switching or better yet, with a guy like Harden who has shown to be careless with the ball, blitz him and double him right off the initial screen.

I understand he took Ausar out for spacing on offense. Still not a fan of it. Reed earned game 4 minutes IMO.

They wouldn't have been in it without Cade. But he also sort of pissed it away.

Cade has two turnovers today inbounding the ball

Why did he take Thompson out

Harris did good to keep Mitchell in front of him

The Reed minutes have paid off

Still no Thompson

He hit him in the throat, but that was embellished quite a bit

Great defense by LeVert

Cade taking over

Reed is getting Stewart's minutes

Cade has to get inside when Mitchell is guarding him.

WTF is Duren doing? He had the layup and pulled it out for a dumb jump shot?

I love Stew. But I think I would give his 2nd half minutes to Reed.

Cleveland would be up another 6 points is they could shoot free throws

Mitchell smoked Robinson then Harris on the same drive

The defense is not good

So a 5 point play because they can't block out

Dumb foul from Cade

Now we're without a challenge the rest of the game

Terrible challenge
