Chances this will be our NBA Finals?
Get Lu Dort off my team please, as valuable as he can he we need someone reliable on offense and defense
Daaaammmmnnnn
Teams usually play their best against the reigning champs
Pistons will be going home in the second round
2nd night of a back2back after the Knicks
Nice review. No excuses. Hard fought game. GG Pistons.
Thunder Up!
Appreciate you guys -from a Pistons fan!
5:05 it was the right call. But also the foul convo is over played.
SGA isn’t at the top of the league in FTA’s, that’s Luca. But we don’t see everyone bitching about Luca all the time. There’s 6 guys, including Brunson who take more free throws per game than SGA. It’s pretty hypocritical for the Licks coach to be complaining about Shai’s calls.
That's what happens when you double and triple team..😂
I mean even Portland beat okc before..😂
The Pistons were incredible on defense. They held OKC under 30% three point shooting tonight.
Healthy Pistons win easily
SGA is the biggest FLOPPER. He’s not that good
SGA is a joke. If they called the game properly, hed be fouled out by half time every game. How do you get to lead with a forearm shiver and push off, and its a foul on the DEFENSE every time??? Hes a creation of the NBAs marketing department.
The Thunder should be concerned after tonight bc there are now 2 teams that are clearly capable of beating them, one in each conference. I'm not going to blame the Pistons losing on the refs, bc Jenkins had a chance to win it at the buzzer & just missed it, but I wish the refs called it the same for SGA as everybody else. I was shocked when they called the push-off at the end of regulation, despite it being the correct call, but they only called it there bc JB had been screaming at the refs about the fact that they let him get away with the same thing at least 4 other times during the game & even called fouls on the defender on a couple of them, despite him fully extending to push off. In fact, I was watching the OKC in-stadium version of the broadcast & even their commentators were shocked a few times by him getting away with it & or getting fouls called his way when he was the one that pushed off. No doubt SGA is one of the most talented players in the league, but if the refs called things evenly for him, he would probably average 5 points less a game at least. Overall, this was as good as a win for the Pistons in terms of the confidence it will build among the depth & when Cade returns, I think his absence now might actually make them even more dangerous in the playoffs. Don't be surprised if the Pistons end up going all the way to the finals & possibly winning the whole thing (if somehow the Thunder manage to get past the Spurs, bc they are a nightmare match-up for the Pistons & if they face them in the finals, I don't know that the Pistons have a chance.)
3:00 Is it a controversial stat line for SGA tonight if they don't call that foul (Curious what 2-min report says because looked like a hand check first, then the push off)? SGA would have had 41 with 14/16 instead of 47 with 21/25 (2pts plus 7/9 on FTA's in OT).
Shai doesn't cry for the MVP like wemby does.. Or how jj Reddick crys for luka to get it.
Shai lets his play on the floor talk for him
He's the real mvp🎉
I’m declaring a fatwa on the okc thunder and Shai zesty Alexander
If the Pistons just hit the free throws they would’ve won the damn game. Either way, it was a great game to watch and my Pistons only need to win 3 more games out of the last 7 to clutch first place since Boston lost tonight too. Just need to get healthy and hopefully get Cade back for a couple games before the playoffs and we Gucci.
It's amazing how OKC always seems to get so lucky if Jenkins would have made that shot pistons would have won and yes I know we miss some free throws but still but it's Kool they're going to run out of luck eventually no one stays lucky forever congratulations to OKC for beating a piston team that was so shorthanded and they had to rely on SGA to finish us off in overtime 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Sga is flopper . Joke. Free throw marchant. Ohne free throw is a regular player.
It’s looking like the Ivey trade worked out very well for my Pistons. We move up in the Draft to the early 20s and we got Heurter.
Refs trying so hard to let okc win, 25 free throw so unwatchable, im sure nba wont give the mvp to shai, it’s so hard to watch
Shai is not good, it’s just that he’s getting away with so many free throw and no one cant touch him, so obviously he can go wherever he wants cause u cant touch him, if you breathe close to him he will get 2 free throws
My biggest issue with this game was the referees. I hate how they allow push offs from SGA or call a foul anytime OKC fall even when it should be no calls, flop call, or offensive fouls. The foul that was Ausar 6th wasn’t a foul because Ausar beat him to the spot. The foul call where Caruso ran into Ausar and Caruso falls is either a no call or a foul on Caruso. There were no calls as well on some of those inside shots as well. I was more frustrated with them calling the offensive foul on SGA at the end of the fourth when he been doing that throughout the game. I don’t blame the players because they will do what the game and refs allow them to get away with. I blame the referees for not being consistent. Don’t get me started on Detroit intentionally fouling and no refs call it until seconds later once SGA gets it. OKC is the better team, SGA was great and earned some if not most of his free throws, and the better team won, but I hate how different teams or reffed differently.
Refs won the game again
😂😂😂 you are funny man
The difference was free throw percentage.
