Does PistonsTalk still exist?

[ElNono]

Cavs in 6, IMO... but don't sleep on this series...

[DPG21920]

Cavs in 5.

Good matchup for det personrl wise.

[HarlemHeat37]

Could be competitive if Detroit had any shooters, tbh..very limited team from a personnel standpoint..

[ElNono]

I wanna see what playoffs Kevin Love looks like, tbh

[313]

Cavs in 6. LeBron has a throwback performance in the clincher.

[fonzy16]

[DeadlyDynasty]

Cavaliers in 5.

[Robz4000]

The coaching difference between these teams is massive, which cannot be ignored. Gonna call the upset and say Pistons in 9.

[hater]

Not much to comment here. Delonte's children in 5

[ambchang]

Cavs in 7.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Cavs in 6

[JamStone]

Pistons actually match up decently against the Cavs. They have an athletic big in Drummond who can control the rebounding at both ends. They have a scoring point guard who will force Kyrie to defend (unless they switch off him, and actually both teams may switch guards defensively, Kyrie on Pope and Reggie on Smith/Shumpert). And they have two forwards with size and mobility who can take turns on LeBron.

That said, I do think the Cavs take the series. For each game, the Pistons success will likely depend on their perimeter shooting and their bench. They're not a good shooting team but if they have a couple guys get hot from three point range in a given game, they have a chance. Their bench has been erratic and inconsistent most of the season. If they get some production from a few unexpected guys, it also helps their cause.

The Pistons have a legitimate shot at stealing a couple games. But Cavs are clearly the better team with two guys in LeBron and Kyrie who could each drop 40+ on the Pistons in a given game. I also think Reggie Jackson could single-handedly lose a couple games for the Pistons when he decides to go hero ball late in close games.

Cavs in 6.

[Seventyniner]

Cavs in 4.

[TampaDude]

Cavs in 5. LeBron goes beast mode in the closeout game...like 45/15/12.

[birdy219]

Cavs in 5

[~O~]

I like the Piston's chances to win the series. I want to see their approach in game 1 and the officiating most of all.

[Killakobe81]

Cavs in 5

[Big Dog]

Cavs in 6

[daslicer]

Cavs will sweep.

[Spurtacular]

Very disappointed this wasn't Cavs vs. Pacers. Guessing the company men did their jobs to get Indy three wins in a row to close out the season. Had they even won three in a row all season?

[Spurtacular]

Cavs in 5

[99 Problems]

King Delly got a bit more around him this year.

[DarrinS]

This series could be an upset

[DMC]

Cavs in 5. LeBron goes beast mode in the closeout game...like 45/15/12.
Would be a bad sign for Cleveland because it would mean Irving or Love is hurt (or both). If they aren't, there should not be a reason for James to have that stat line.

[HarlemHeat37]

Pistons have been pretty bad at defending PGs, this season IIRC..should be the series for Irving to finally get going after a really bad regular season..

[Kawhitstorm]

Pistons have been pretty bad at defending PGs, this season IIRC..should be the series for Irving to finally get going after a really bad regular season..

Reggie Jackson just as bad a defender as Kyrie so I would assume KCP will be guarding Kyrie & Shump will be guarding Reggie.:lol

[spursistan]

721544734628454400

Prediction: Kyrie will be the one who gets traded if they don't ring

[DMC]

Prediction: Kevin Love will play one game and have a season ending vagina injury.

[Spurs9]

Going to be a good series to watch, cavs in 5 or 6.

[gambit1990]

721544734628454400

Prediction: Kyrie will be the one who gets traded if they don't ring
he shoulda got moved this year. cavs shoulda moved him to the hawks for pieces. since lebron was drafted, nothing has led me to believe that the cavs are a competent FO.

lebron w/ chris paul would be a tough team. lebron w/ westbrook would be wild.

[gambit1990]

lebron made a huge mistake when he left miami to go back home... he coulda signed with golden state instead. it was my suggestion. they had the money too.

[mudyez]

LOL, was there some kind of terror act in Cleveland today?

The national anthem seemed similar to a moment of silence.

[DPG21920]

I've never loved Tobias but he's been very solid for DET.

[BillMc]

Win or lose the Pistons clearly have no fear of the Cavs.

[DPG21920]

Very early, but this has the makings of a fun 1st round series. DET has so much size/athletes.

[will_spurs]

Stupid end to a nice 4th Q. Pistons clearly not impressed.

[Mugen]

crofl SVG is the man tbh

[pgardn]

Deli sandwich blocking for Lebron on that last play.
Illegal Screens no longer exist.

[Robz4000]

Really like the Pistons' chances in this series.

[DPG21920]

What a start by DET! SVG just proving again what a difference maker he is. His team is ready.

[BillMc]

crofl SVG is the man tbh

Detroit surely has the coaching advantage.

[spursistan]

coaching matters but you need a modicum of talent..Carlisle stands no chance with a washed up 38-yo Dirk as his best player..Pistons will give Cavs a better series than Mavs to OKC..

[Robz4000]

Cavs getting away with all sorts of fouls on both ends tbh.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

KCP and Stanley Johnson combining to go 4-6 from 3. Gonna be a long series if those 2 continue to play way over their heads from 3.

[DPG21920]

Kevin Love coming though big time right now. DET has multiple forwards they are going to throw at Kevin, so it's really a critical match up.

[Spurs9]

Dont know why SVG didnt get picked up quicker as a coach, his guys playing great.

[D-Wade]

Some of this bench play is fluky by Detroit, though. I want to see how Drummond fares.

[DPG21920]

There's definitely some fluky shooting (percentage wise), but it's a crisp and engaged game. It's definitely a "playoff" level. Fun, fun game so far and this is how I was hoping the East would go with all teams jumbled up.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Marcus Morris vs The Love Train. What a duel.

[313]

KCP and Stanley Johnson combining to go 4-6 from 3. Gonna be a long series if those 2 continue to play way over their heads from 3.
Stanley, sure, but KCP is nice. I wouldn't call this playing over his head.

[Spurs9]

Good to see Morris doing well off the Suns.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Stanley, sure, but KCP is nice. I wouldn't call this playing over his head.
I was talking about from the 3 point line. Both are shooting under 31% from 3 during the regular season.

[Killakobe81]

What a great passer LeBron is ...
Bird/Magic type vision ...

[Holden_Caulfield]

Damn the corpse of Steve Blake is still playing :lol

[Mugen]

KLove playing tough, gotta give him props tbh.

[Killakobe81]

Also good to see Love back in Minny form ...
Go Bruins!!

[313]

Marcus Morris has been rear for Detroit all year. I used to use him in fantasy all the time, too

[Killakobe81]

Cavs expect this levrl of defense will beat Dubs or Spurs might not even beat Okc better get rheir shit straight before the Finals they still have time ...but this wont get it done.

[Mugen]

Great showing by DET in the 1st half, showed zero fear tbh....

[Raven]

lol allowing 60 points at the half in the play offs

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Lebron must be having 2009 flashbacks, tbh..SVG team making all their 3s..

KCP: 30% 3-point shooter(bad)
Morris: 36%(not bad, but nothing special)
Johnson: 31%(bad)

[313]

I was talking about from the 3 point line. Both are shooting under 31% from 3 during the regular season.
Ah yeah, my bad. That would be great for Detroit if they kept it up though

[will_spurs]

Pistons are ready and fearless. That's the right kind of mindset for an 8th seed. Of course they're shooting twice better from 3 than in the regular season (!) but the Cavs big 3 is also playing huge and the Cavs are getting a lot of calls in their favor. It seems quite balanced.

[DPG21920]

DET would be a top 2 team in the East if they were a good 3PT shooting team, so obviously with them doing well there in the first half, they look great. Is that sustainable? Probably not, but it's interesting and the offense is getting good looks and match up well.

[DPG21920]

Luckily for Lebron Kyrie/Love are healthy, but because dayum, they are top heavy from a scoring perspective.

[DPG21920]

http://www.nba.com/2016/news/features/steve_aschburner/04/14/east-series-1-2016-playoffs-first-round-cleveland-cavaliers-vs-detroit-preview/index.html


Reconfigured according to coach and president Van Gundy's successful blueprint in Orlando, the Pistons sank a franchise-record 740 3-pointers this season, topping last season's 703 and blowing away the franchise's pre-Van Gundy mark of 582 from way back in 1996-97. Detroit was 19-6 in games when it made 11 or more 3-pointers. The Pistons shot a mediocre 34.2 percent from the arc, worse than Cleveland's middle-of-the-pack defense against those (34.5 percent).

[apalisoc_9]

http://www.nba.com/2016/news/features/steve_aschburner/04/14/east-series-1-2016-playoffs-first-round-cleveland-cavaliers-vs-detroit-preview/index.html

They're probably banking on their defense. It's a perfect matchup for them defensively. If they can play the expected defensive intensity from them and shot above 37..they would be tough to beat.

[DPG21920]

I still don't understand having JR in the starting line up? They don't need his scoring. Put him with the second unit with Delly.

[Raven]

lol mark jackson know nothing about basketball

[Raven]

stanley johnson <3

[Arcadian]

Okay, the east is officially more competitive than the west this year (at least in round 1).

[apalisoc_9]

I understand helping on the roll against Drummond considering how poor DET shoots, but they are killing it today. Stay on your man, imo..at least during this game.

[Otaku]

Cavs will probably win the series, but it's not gonna be easy. 6 games at least.

[Mugen]

Kyrie Irving plays such loser basketball tbh

[Arcadian]

http://basketball.realgm.com/images/nba/4.2/wiretap/photos/2006/Lue_Tyronn_cle_150101.jpg

[apalisoc_9]

Really loving DET intensity. That's how you play against heavy favourites. Everyone is playing tough defense.

[Budkin]

:lol Tyronn Lue is a head coach in the NBA.

[MultiTroll]

:lol way to choke off the 8 point lead Det.

Altho I guess you want DickJeff and Delanova taking treys.

Blake travel :lol

[Mugen]

:lol Cavs playing better when Kyrie sits and Delly is in.....

Sounds like a team in Texas tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

Jackson shitting bricks

[TheGreatYacht]

Great foul Bullock

[MultiTroll]

I still think LeBron the player is still very good.

It's LeBron the GM who sucks.
:lol Love JRSmith Dick Jeff etc

Altho there's Dick nailing another trey.

[TheGreatYacht]

Jackson with the Chimpbrook shot :wow

[hitmanyr2k]

This quarter is nothing but a 3 point shooting contest.

[will_spurs]

Richard Jefferson playing for a contender in the 4th quarter of a contested playoffs game :lol

[spursistan]

Okay, the east is officially more competitive than the west this year (at least in round 1).
easily, tbh..:lol

[DPG21920]

Big time shot for Love

[DPG21920]

Without Love CLE would be so screwed. He's been so good for them today.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

The Love Train running down the Pistons.

[Raven]

lebron about to murder irving's D :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Tobias Harris bringing that loser Orlando Magic ball to the playoffs, tbh:lol

[will_spurs]

The Pistons are so bad in transition, it's unbelievable, I don't understand why they don't go to a halfcourt set instead every time.

[DPG21920]

Tobias needs to stop being a black hole. He's like Josh Smith without the passing ability.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bring back Bullock or Johnson

[HarlemHeat37]

Pistons plethora of low-IQ players is going to be frustrating to cheer for in this series, tbh:lol..Jackson, Drummond, Harris and KCP in particular..

[LkrFan]

4-2. Shhhh!

[spursistan]

there is just nothing intimidating about this Cavs team, tbh..combo of respectable talent and superior coaching and you got a chance to bend them.

[HarlemHeat37]

God, Reggie Jackson is so fucking hideous, tbh:(

[Spurs9]

These fouls are retarded, hit the defenser and fall to the ground by Kyrie. I forgot how terrible playoff reffing is.

[will_spurs]

Nice flop (sorry "creating contact") by Irving.

[TheGreatYacht]

Interrupted by a weather update, FUCK

Its sickening, falling downon someoneis called as a foul. Sqme thing with kicking out the leg on 3s. They should be fined like the flopping rule for the acting.

[LkrFan]

Losing multiple finals :lol

Got me there. If Curry healthy, the likelihood of Jim getting another shot at another L is low. :lol

Shhhh!

[DPG21920]

Playoff Lebron still a boss

Wow bad offense,

Jacksons the Cavs MVP, he clearly learned alot from Westbrook.

[HarlemHeat37]

Until the final minutes, where they have to start thinking and executing:lol

[Raven]

reggie jackson still has soooo much to learn. I won't bash him too much, but just too much overdribbling and bad clock management.

[spursistan]

No stars + low-IQ players + PG being a ballhog that doesn't know how to run an offense =
going to be a sweep with 3 close games + blowout..

DET aint shooting like this from 3 in any other game..

[DPG21920]

Very fun game. CLE big 3 was just too much. That will silence a lot of Kevin Love haters. Tremendous game from him and that big 3 has to carry a massive burden.

Lebron showing on defense he's still got chops too.

[Robz4000]

Eww, Detroit's BBIQ...

[HarlemHeat37]

going to be a sweep with 3 close games + blowout..

DET aint shooting like this from 3 in any other game..

I think they will win a game at home, tbh..they play hard and Cleveland is prone to "coasting/quitting" for stretches..

[DPG21920]

Until the final minutes, where they have to start thinking and executing:lol

For sure. If they can solve one of CLE"s big 3 they should have a chance. They just can't let them all go off. But Reggie is a frustrating player to watch.

[KL2]

Pretty entertaining while it lasted, hope to see CLE-MIA in the 2nd, that's gonna be fun to watch.

nm, damn keep getting mixed up, wish that series was going to happen, idk if MIA can get to the ECF

[Mugen]

Needed that game to extend it past 5 tbh.

[apalisoc_9]

What a Parkersque peformance in the last 2 minutes by Jackson. Going away from what works and relying on shitty dribbles.

I do think that stan Van Gundy made a horrible mistake by not bringing back Drummond after the 2 minute mark. They couldnt get any decent shots once Baynes got in because the guys guarding the 2-3 were just staying on their man with baynes having roll zero gravity.

[spursistan]

Jackson was cancer down the stretch but it's Drummond pathetic FT shooting that is going to significantly lower the ceiling of this Detroit team...Dude makes Dwight look like Nash..Pistons came unhinged when he was out of the game..

he is the king of "dribble dribble", tbh :lol..

[DMC]

Jackson learned from Westbrook. You could see it.

[Robz4000]

Pistons shat on their best chance to make this a series. Cleveland wins in no more than five now.

[JamStone]

Part of my post before the series started.



I also think Reggie Jackson could single-handedly lose a couple games for the Pistons when he decides to go hero ball late in close games.

[~O~]

Part of my post before the series started.

Stan needs to magnify those Westbrook tendencies Jackson learned.

[~O~]

Stan is one of my favorite coaches ever. I didn't watch the game because the officiating is predictable. I'm glad to see him telling it how it is; no sweeteners and sugarcoated glasses made from dried bullshit.

[spursistan]

you just knew SVG was going to coach circles around Lue :lol..too bad he has too many one dimensional low-IQ players ..great start for Detroit

[SAGirl]

Pistons are playing well. This might be the best series in the first round in entertainment value. Both teams are playing well.

[DPG21920]

Is Steve Kerr your favorite coach?

[100%duncan]

Cavs' scoring is so unsustainable :lol Smith and Dellavedova

[DPG21920]

11/19 3's for CLE :wow. But only up 2. DET in a great spot to take this game.

[SAGirl]

Rooting for Detroit... wow they are athletic! Reggie has matured as a PG too. Drummond can be dominant if not for his FT shooting woes.

JR Smith has been too hot for that to continue all game. Some were contested too.

[~O~]

Is Steve Kerr your favorite coach?

Popovich is my favorite coach. He not only exposes bullshit, he wins through the adversity of terrible officiating. Stan has yet to win it all but he sure exposes bullshit.

Detroit is a Kevin Durant from winning a title. They need a major scorer.

[NameLess Scrub]

Rooting for Detroit... wow they are athletic! Reggie has matured as a PG too. Drummond can be dominant if not for his FT shooting woes.

JR Smith has been too hot for that to continue all game. Some were contested too.


Typical JR Smith. They can't panic. I expect him to come down to earth or his team to deny him the ball in the 2nd half.

Watching this game for Stan vs Lebron. Gotta love SVG. I couldn't care less about my bracket if Stan owns Lebron.

Pistons need to be a bit more disciplined on defense. They are taking their eyes off Lebron to help.

[DPG21920]

Rooting for Detroit... wow they are athletic! Reggie has matured as a PG too. Drummond can be dominant if not for his FT shooting woes.

JR Smith has been too hot for that to continue all game. Some were contested too.

Reggie is obviously talented, but man, he has a lot of bad habits. I don't agree with the maturity part, but he's talented. Drummond is so limited on offense even outside of his FT's. It's crazy to me. He's not anywhere close to the offensive player a guy like Dwight was and Dwight was/is limited.

[313]

11/19 3's for CLE :wow. But only up 2. DET in a great spot to take this game.
Great unless the threes keep falling, which isn't unlikely. Role players play better at home.

Nonetheless im hoping Detroit pulls it out.

[313]

I just don't understand guys like Drummond, that refuse to work on their free throw shooting.

[Spurs9]

Its amazing the turnaround SVG did to this team in just 1 season.

[Spurs9]

All these stupid mistakes let the cavs back into the game.

[~O~]

Ok..I won't watch this game. Detroit plays too low IQ basketball for me. They had plenty of chances to go on a major run. They got Cleveland into a rhythm.

[D-Wade]

These cold spells will kill Detroit. Even if every game is close, I still say Cleveland in 5.

Sager looks pretty good tonight. Hard to believe he probably only has a couple of months left. :depressed

The TO and problems getting defensive rebounds allowed Cavs to make a run. They set a record for 3 shooting in this game. Just not Detroit's night.

Have fallen to too much iso. They were doing better in the first half. I don't like Blake. He's washed up. Delly owning him

Yeah, some of their possessions have been some real head scrachers. The lack of star power is glaring though.

[Arcadian]

Drummond...you can't be the worst FT shooter of all time and be a superstar. Sorry. You can be pretty bad, like 50% bad. But not 35% on the season and 3/14 in a playoff game. That's gonna bar you from superstar status, I'm afraid.

[DPG21920]

Drummond...you can't be the worst FT shooter of all time and be a superstar. Sorry. You can be pretty bad, like 50% bad. But not 35% on the season and 3/14 in a playoff game. That's gonna bar you from superstar status, I'm afraid.

It's not just that. He's literally useless offensively outside of dunks. No post moves. No counters. Nothing. To be that big and athletic and have no offensive game? Just awful.

He could lift them if he improved. Every time they had momentum, specially early it was back a Drummond. Just Drummond making an improvement would help them.... not to be. They are limited so long as he has that problem.

[SAGirl]

It's not just that. He's literally useless offensively outside of dunks. No post moves. No counters. Nothing. To be that big and athletic and have no offensive game? Just awful.
He had a couple of pretty hooks in the first half. The young man could lift them if he developed. They are limited so long as he remains like this, for sure.

[~O~]

And people want them to make up rules to defend players who's shooting percentages that are in the cellar. At this point, Drummund is a tall guy who can jump high a similar abstract of DeAndre Jordan.

[spursistan]

Ridiculous half court shot by Irving. The look on SVG's face says it all.

A team that depends on JR Smith/Dick Jefferson is suspect. Their best rated lineup is also when Love plays at center.:lol

LeBron needs to make an uncontested 3 before they ever utter the phrase "big 3" in Shitland.

God, Jackson is such a dumb fuck...you can't depend on getting fouled with the series on the line.

[K...]

What a moron. Way too many of these games end with someone trying to be a hero only to come up with nothing.

The Cavs might have too much time off. Their opponent won't finish round 1 until Thursday at the earliest. At least with the Spurs, OKC should close out tomorrow.

I normally don't find people's comments here funny. It is mostly rape and gay bashing homophobic back and forth. But, this made me laugh out loud.

Missed the Cavs and Pistons. I was done with basketball for the evening after sitting through the entire rockets and warriors game, where the rockets continued to look like a 12-80 team. I am not a fan of either team, but I was hoping for a more competitive team to show up on the court and not that failed marriage of a lineup that draped itself across the court that was the rockets.

Sucks about the Pistions, I actually liked the way they play bball up there.

He's more suited for a 6th man role like Jamal Crawford

Pistons really overpaid for him with no adequate backup to bail him out when he is in bed-shitting mode...

They had Jennings but they traded him.

Season ends on an appropriate note: Jackson going solo while Drummond watches from the bench because he can't hit FTs.

I'm real happy they made the playoffs, but they're not going much farther next year unless those two things change.

KCP has to make the next leap & they need to get rid of the cancer that is Tobias Harris.
