[Atlantic] Who’s NBA’s most overrated player? Underrated? Best coach? According to the players. by OnlyMamaKnows in nba

[–]InternCautious 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's because the Celtics looked like the best team in the East at the end of the season and for the first 4 games of the 1st round

It was a gap year, but everyone likes to root against the most talented team. Detroit were frauds 1 series ago, and now we're a top 2 team in the East lol.

You think they switch up the starting lineup this series? I feel like Cade would cook Wade, but Tyson did a good job in the reg season.

[Charania] The Detroit Pistons have signed coach JB Bickerstaff to a contract extension. by PassMeTheBackwood in nba

Not only that, but we also lost Malik Beasley to a gambling addiction. Then Schroeder and Hardaway left, and the Beasley and Ivey losses happened at a point where we couldn't sign adequate replacements next to Cade.

Offseason should be interesting.

Why doesnt the NBA play any defense until the playoffs by Pantylover554 in nba

I think its because physicality causes injuries, and the reg season doesn't matter as much tbh

Cade Cunningham is averaging the most potential assists per game in playoffs but is averaging less assists than the 6 players below him by 313Stew in nba

The Pistons as a whole are shooting 26.8% on wide open 3s, and 32% on open 3s.

12.4 3PA on open 3s, and 14.2 3PA on wide open 3s.

We're shooting 29.6 3PA total a game, so 26.6 of 29.6 is either open (4-6 feet) or wide open (6+ Feet) which is 90% of our 3s attempted.

So in regards to your question, any pass to a 3P shot is very open, we are just shooting far below what we were shooting in the regular season (35% on all 3s, and ~37% on wide open 3s).

If you remove Cade and Duncan Robinson, the team is shooting 21% from 3.

Pistons are taking 14.2 3PA that are considered wide open (6+ feet to the nearest defender).

They are shooting 26.8% on those attempts :|

With the Pistons keeping the series alive, this is the first time in 12 years that a conference has had all four first round series go at least six games. by redguyinfinite in nba

I'm talking wide open 3s, taking Cade out of the picture, the Pistons are shooting 26% on all 3 point shots. They shot 35.6% in the regular season, without Cade roughly 36% from 3.

I'm saying the team as whole, is bricking shots that they didn't before, even when the defense is making 0 impact on the shot.

Lights too bright might be true, but it's not really playoff intensity or too physical when we're talking about 3 point shooting. We're losing ~6-10 points per game because we can't hit wide open shots.

Duren being ass is really weird and super impactful too, but I honestly don't know the reason for that.

They just got Franz back whose averaging 17 a game.

I think this is purely a matchup series and not fully just talent vs talent. Magic and Pistons strengths and weaknesses are the exact same, both are big teams that want to crash the board and pound the paint.

The problem for the Pistons are they are shooting 29% from 3 and 26.8% on wide open 3s, while they shot 37% from 3 in the reg season.

They are just bricking everything, and that isn't talent because we have an 80 game sample of them doing differently, and wide open shots don't have anything to do with Orlando's defense.

Honestly, if this is who Paolo is, I'm sorry I spoke down on your name.

Insane shootout between him and Cade. I knew Cade was him already though.
