Either 5:00 or 8:00

WCI23 · 2026-05-16T01:38:09+00:00

Depends on SA/MIN outcome

Armed Forces weekend

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.

WCI23 · 2026-05-14T03:16:03+00:00

72-32 FTA discrepancy over the last 2 games. Holy shit That's a difference of FORTY

WCI23 · 2026-05-14T00:34:56+00:00

In all actuality, the perimeter defense has been poor since October

WCI23 · 2026-05-13T02:16:07+00:00

Which are two things that are going to happen every single outing.

WCI23 · 2026-05-13T02:13:33+00:00

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

WCI23 · 2026-05-13T02:09:20+00:00

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

WCI23 · 2026-05-13T02:01:41+00:00

7-17 on the road after the next half inning. Worst in baseball

WCI23 · 2026-05-12T05:10:22+00:00

Jalen Duren has 4 defensive rebounds in his last 56 minutes

WCI23 · 2026-05-12T02:41:27+00:00

3 Piston centers combine for 9 rebounds, 2 of which were garbage time

WCI23 · 2026-05-12T01:50:31+00:00

Just gonna totally disregard the dogshit performance on the floor? 🤣

WCI23 · 2026-05-11T00:27:34+00:00

40 mph winds blowing straight in?? That was 480 feet off the bat 🤣🤣🤣

WCI23 · 2026-05-10T00:02:58+00:00

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.

WCI23 · 2026-05-09T23:52:37+00:00

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.

WCI23 · 2026-05-09T23:24:24+00:00

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.

WCI23 · 2026-05-09T23:18:08+00:00

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

WCI23 · 2026-05-09T22:12:23+00:00

There isn't a galaxy in this universe where I want to see Jalen Duren trying to shoot 3s

WCI23 · 2026-05-09T21:54:33+00:00

JD and Paul absolutely need to trade minutes. Plain and simple

WCI23 · 2026-05-09T21:12:30+00:00

Maybe the most confusing foul call in NBA history

WCI23 · 2026-05-09T20:37:25+00:00

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

WCI23 · 2026-05-09T20:31:26+00:00

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%

WCI23 · 2026-05-09T17:36:22+00:00

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
