I keep saying this
The absolute BEST thing to happen to this franchise is to lose this series
Thibs will be gone. It might suck in the short term but will help the team TREMENDOUSLY long term.

They are double and triple teaming KAT in the paint. We can’t shoot to take advantage of it

We're about to finish this game without breaking 90 points...

You think the defense is a problem?

Here I was thinking everybody taking Pistons were stupid. This feels like a dream. Likely be first playoff win since like 2003.

This is why teams put their bigs on Hart, so they can take away everything else we do since the big can just guard space, and the coach is too stupid to take Hart out the game.

concerning thing is they missed a ton of open looks too. this could have been way uglier. still might end up a "blowout" loss.

Down 41-30- in rebounds. Complete reversal of last year's dominant rebound club. Therein lies the difference (and the refs).

Agree that we need quicker shooting 3 point guys

Big problem

A lto of tentative guys, no healthy chuckers, and Thibs has no plan to get them going
