Obviously, I could be missing some of the story, but when you see a few calls that are 80%, 95% of the time called a certain way, and they're called the other way, that's usually a good clue.
All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off, but the Lord’s word endures forever.

It’s not over yet. If you’ve given up on Detroit after this run, you didn’t watch Detroit this year.
That said, getting worked by Cam Payne sucks.

22-7 in this quarter thus far for the Knicks (11 from Cam Payne).

Too bad for Cade that his role players like Tobias Harris, THJ and Beasley will never this high a scoring game again for rest of the series.
But Cade himself will definitely be better in the future games.

Pistons only veteran presence is Harris and Hardaway. Neither are pgs so I dont know who's going to get them to settle down on the floor.

No they haven't, stop talking nonsense.

Am I wrong for thinking Cade is better than Ja?

Maybe we can say Pistons are too young this year but I think JBB teams have always been strong regular season and underperformed post-season waiting for that to be proven wrong.

You come out of timeout after a run, and your set play is "Tobias Harris iso".
They were destined to lose this game from the start.

Playoff is a different animal and the Pistons are not ready. Too shaken by the tight Knicks defense right now.
