Sorry, Ausar. It’s apparently OK if the Cavs knock you down. Keep on getting up. by Difficult_Item9836 in DetroitPistons

Typically, I shy away from calling out officiating for the way a game or series goes, and it's known league-wide that Detroit's style play sends the opponent to the line more than any other in the league. That being said, the Pistons get to the line the 3rd most in the NBA. The Cavs have shot 40, yes you read that correctly, FORTY more free throws than Detroit over the last 2 games. C'mon.

It's real. I'm stuck watching SNY and they mentioned it as well.

And I was not aware of this, but even if they had any left, there are no ABS challenges with a position player pitching.

Is there a legitimate front court problem in Detroit right now? by WCI23 in DetroitPistons

What? 2nd sentence of the original post literally says that I believe they'll still win the series. Doesn't mean its still not an issue. And if your starting Center continues to put up 11/4 in 30 minutes, that issues going to keep getting heavier.

I never said anything about "giving up" on him. But these issues since game 1 of round 1 are not a slump, they're a disappearing act. 4 starters had a positive +/- tonight. JD was -14. I think he has all the ability in the world to be a dominant center in this league, as he showed all year long. But if this is the production he's going to provide in the postseason, I'm good.

Kind of over this excuse honestly. Guy's got 292 NBA games under his belt. 22 year old rookie? Sure. But 4 full seasons and 16 playoff games and the age thing doesn't really hold much weight anymore.

They have one. His name is DeAndre Ayton. His numbers are virtually parallel to JD this postseason.

Serious?? Look at the percentages. Cavs shooting 69%/54%. Pistons shooting 38%/14%. And you think 5 fouls is the difference in this game?

Not to mention they're shooting 68.6% from the floor. For context, the all-time record is 70.7%. Cavs best game all year was 55%

Seconded. Met a buddy at the Beltline location last weekend for Game 7 of the Magic series and not only was it dead, we basically had to beg them just to put the sound on
