NBA PLAYOFFS GAME 3: Pistons vs. Cavaliers - 7:00 PM EST 

Post#1 » by whitehops » Fri Apr 22, 2016 3:25 pm

as i see it this is our best chance to win one, we're on our home court where we always play better and have now seen a bunch of matchups so we have some idea how to guard/exploit them.

go pistons!

LETS GET A WIN! :clap:

We need to focus on not leaving their shooters wide open the entire game, happened in game 1 & 2.
Please no Steve Blake.

that isn't gonna change. our defense is what it is at this point which is pretty pathetic tbh. We play the worst defense out of any team in the playoff field that i've seen. Only thing at this point that will make us play better is if Jodie Meeks gets all Steve Blakes minutes and Joel Anthony gets time over Aron Baynes (who has also been pretty pathetic this series).

Anyone over Steve Blake would be an upgrade at this point, I agree with you there. Dude is constantly chasing from several feet behind on the pick and roll because he was too slow to get around the pick.

Excited for this game! Signed up for a free 7 day trial of Sling TV, they have ESPN+TNT... no more having to watch crappy streams.

Will probably pay for it until the playoffs are over.

Hope it's rocking like it was when we retired Chauncey's meant Big Ben's number and we similarly lay the smackdown.
