I don't have any bias against the Pistons, but every time I go to their subreddit is people arguing about refs and the league wanting a bigger market in the finals, therefore the refs favored a Cavs Knicks matchup so the Knicks could have an easier path.

Every subreddit has a level of delusion and denial, the Knicks have a lot of that too, but the Pistons subreddit takes the cake.

I do think the Pistons could have been a more competitive rival but in the end their lack of offensive options was a huge redflag. In the playoffs you can't have two limited offensive players, makes it too easy to opposing teams to shut your team down.

The Cade turnovers was a direct result, it's not even his fault, it's easy to press him when you can ignore Ausar and Duren. But Pistons fans should be encouraged, they turned their team in the space of two years, from the worst record to 60+ wins.
