I can’t believe it man, last time they won a playoff game I was barely old enough to remember it

Very. The Pistons gave away Game 1. They've been the better team like 80% of this series.

Because they want to talk more about how Brunson went and got his cape. Might have just been some IBS

Cade does not handle ISO well at all. It went bad most times the pistons went that way.

Really solid win. Young guys are still learning to execute down the stretch, but defensively, we get after it.

I’m sure glad we didn’t trade for the right to pay KAT $50M.

People get obsessed with how good players are on their best days and for how frequently they disappear.

It's nice to see fans on the boards seeing how important Schroder is to this team.

I wish JB had Holland in the rotation, if just for spurts here and there. His energy would have been useful down the stretch.

We should have an online Pistons contest where we raise money and give the tickets to the loudest Pistons fans.. We can win Game 3 and 4. It's gotta be loud, though.. I hope Stew's inflammation goes down. Let's finish these floppers. We know the NBA, media, etc., want them to win.. well, everyone except the people!

He is underutilized on offense.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Two things to say:

1) The season is now officially a complete success. Not that we can’t win this series, but it’s definitely gravy.

2) Homelander, you completely suck. 20 posts when we lose and none when we win. Turn in your fan card. Living off misery is pathetic.

He's probably the 3rd most talented big man on offense in the league and we're lucky they aren't trying to unleash his full skillset on us. I 100% thought he was their biggest wild card they we might really struggle to stop yet thus far he hasn't hurt us too bad... hopefully they don't start going to him more and more.
