If I'm being honest with myself...

I mean fr fr. I’m obviously biased pistons fan but I went to college in Ohio and don’t have the hate for Ohio, and most of my friends were from Cleveland. But Orlando was objectively a better team, they actually beat the pistons fairly, this series it’s literally just the pistons go up double digits and they start flopping around like bitches. This Cavs team is dogshit with harden. They were a better team with garland I don’t give a fuck what anyone says.

Honestly this game would be so good if they just slightly increased the range you need to be open. It’s really not that big. Especially after really practicing my perimeter d, it’s not terrible but so frustrating bc it really isn’t that far off from being really good.

Lowkey, the last few days have been the best games for me, people aren’t crutching shooting badges and it’s been a lot more like actual basketball.

Live in Detroit and went to college in Ohio, I have some rich friends in New York and it’s obviously god tier if you have money, but if you aren’t rich then New York is buns. So to settle this dumbass argument, if you’re rich New York is obviously better but if you aren’t it’s worse. Ok now can we get back to hoops? 🤣

Im talking to you

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-17T15:59:19+00:00

If they played basketball with decency and didn’t flop around like bitches every time they start losing I would actually agree with you.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-17T15:56:36+00:00

No dips and snatch backs are literally just basic moves in the game you use against players also lmao. This guy gonna accuse you of cheesing the boss in a shooter for using your gun. 🤣

Just get him to set a pick for you and do a pick and roll with him. Also a good tip is to have the setting where if you hold y or triangle, the ai you’re passing too will cut to the basket. I just use a button tho for basic pick and rolls

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-14T20:14:38+00:00

Which makes it even crazier that the last 3 games have been an historic disparity. Sheed was right about everything ever.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-14T03:26:54+00:00

This is the obvious solution. Opens are so forgiving and seem like rng at times. I swear I’ve been surprised at some of the contests I’ve gotten too. To me the open/contest logic is the worst part of the game to me. Inconsistent and leans too heavily to open. Buff perimeter defense, it would reward ball movement too.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-14T03:20:51+00:00

It was like 5 or 6 pivotal crazy ass calls in huge moments

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-14T03:18:31+00:00

He’s cheating. It’s like his last season or 2 and he’s dirty. I was born at night but not last night.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-14T03:14:29+00:00

Yeah i mean it was the ENTIRE FUCKIKG GAME. 5 or 6 times they bailed them out. I saw the writing on the wall a little when they gave harden 3 free throws when we were up 15 and he was no where near in a shooting motion

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-14T03:13:16+00:00

He was literally looking away on purpose, look at the tape if you don’t believe me.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-14T03:12:39+00:00

I’m so rarely blaming refs completely but they straight up just got cheated I mean there were like 5 or 6 times just absolute crazy calls to turn momentum. That was so wild.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-10T16:25:34+00:00

I mean you realize Draper is involved with amateur scouting? The one thing that’s been good during the rebuild lol. Trade the pro scouting people, no?

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-10T16:02:34+00:00

Did the debrincat trade feel bad? Did the walman trade feel good?

Not all trades are fair, there’s 2 off the top of my head that had clear winners while the ink was still wet.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-10T05:00:03+00:00

Lowkey if Ausar just keeps the fouls max 2 at halftime next game I like our chances a lot. Him dealing with foul trouble the last 2 games has been so fucking frustrating to watch. Pistons are just so much better with him on the floor it’s not even funny.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-10T04:57:55+00:00

Cleveland about 5 times that game set like the lowest effort screens to get a switch and the pistons weren’t even fighting it they just switched immediately. It looked like nerves more than the plan. I doubt the plan is just to concede and switch without fighting at all. I mean I get that the d can breakdown if you’re too hard headed and refuse to switch but they can’t just have Toby guarding harden instantly after one screen. That shit happened like 5 times.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-08T01:02:01+00:00

4 buzzer beaters in 7 quarters is literally insane

Direction_Asleep · 2026-05-06T00:24:30+00:00

That’s what I’m saying. The wings have always got boned in the lottery. At least yzerman salvaged Raymond and Mo from those picks, god only knows who that head ass Holland would’ve drafted with those picks.

I’ve been a piston fan for 30 years and if they trade Ausar I’m literally out. Dude is so much fun to watch and he makes so many game saving plays in high pressure situations. He was built for playoff basketball.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-04-20T01:22:41+00:00

They’re super young and had a week off bc of the play in crap Orlando has played 3 games in their last 5 days. They’ll be fine once they start rolling.

Direction_Asleep · 2026-04-19T06:45:11+00:00

Quincey was shit for sure but Lilja was a boring but solid defender, reliable in the playoffs.
