Feels like Detroit might actually not be able to score again

Great defense from KAT.

Feel like Cade's lack of top tier athleticism shoes up in games like this

This is why you don't start dancing. It's hard to win road playoff games.

Piston fans get the JB experience in game 1.

This is what your entire playoff experience will be with this guy. 0 offense when the games matter. Nothing but iso ball and bad basketball.

Cavs fans know this all too well.
