Why does Holland have such a high usage? He's not good enough yet.

Without Stewart, we just can’t match their size in the paint or with rebounding. It’s pretty frustrating .

I think the Pistons are running out of gas, the talent and experience difference is starting to show out. They're hanging in though

this is why missing stew is so important to our team if hes available you'd get lil to no ron as stew wouldve commanded the back-up center/pf minutes could even play him with reed at times.

I think Reed leads our team in number of times a GREAT play is immediately followed by a TERRIBLE one. Which is really impressive considering how little he plays.

Next series will be telling if these are two good defensive teams or two teams playing bad basketball

All in all, I think this is good data that this team as it matures can compete. Hopefully we have a secondary score in Jaden Ivy. this is their first playoff experience, I feel pretty good that they will grow. I didn’t think we were going to compete if Stewart was on the bench injured, but we’ve been in almost all of these games. Hell, we should’ve won the last game despite all the miscues at the end, we still should’ve been shooting free throws for the win.
