Forget about super stardem Jaylin Tyson needs more time on the court with Donovan Mitchell
When I look at the clock and there's eight minutes left in the fourth quarter and donovan is not in the game.And the game is close.That makes no sense to me.
The NBA is a league of 3*s nowadays. We dont have the guns, especially since Merill has a hamstring. Hopefully we figure it out , but im not hopeful
Aint no preview or anlaysis needed. The world wants to know: WHERE. IS. DONOVAN. MITCHELL. He starts balling we will start winning.
STOP digging holes in the first half….try that š
McNuggets for coach in 26/27! Why doesn't our current staff not make these adjustments? Kenny seems overmatched or players aren't listening.
If we canāt feed JA, we canāt win.
Is Cleveland soft???
he doesnāt get to the basket man. the free throw wining is nonsensical. he settles for jump shots. and the times he does drive are theyāre mostly floaters using windmill gathers. pistons canāt shoot so they look for contact every possession. this isnāt rocket science
Kenny needs to stop time/foul managing all stars!!!
More Dennis with Harden, agaisnt younger teams Harden at 37 needs one ball handler with him
Cade is listed at 6'6", not even close to 6'9". Can we stop exaggerating the height? He's not the same height as JA
We're undefeated at home. Keep that up, and we'll have maximum 3 more chances to win just 1 in detroit
If Harden has multiple turnovers again, I just might lose it.
Sam Merrill is a liability on the floor we teams are really aggressive with him he can't make shots. Need to play Ellis more
Dean Wade is another Liability on the floor
Spida chokes every playoff
aināt buy sht full priced thatās not an improvement from last years. Thatās the sht that has game devs playing in your face and lying to you.
Can these clowns every break dwn this weak coaching staff
What is the deal with Atkinson's hair?
Bikerstaff is constantly in refās ear even when his player is at the line shooting free throws. Atkinson needs to do the same. Just sitting there quietly is not putting pressure on refs to give Donavon free throws. And they are obviously hand checking him preventing from driving
If they have 8 less turnovers they win game 1 by a few points. Only adjustment they really need is to stop turning the ball over. They have 3 of the best 4 players in the series, and a very capable bench.
Interim coach is the only SUCCESSFUL adjustment that I can think of. š
Allen can't get in early foul trouble….i don't care if that's Detroit's disign….2 points please š and Wade has to connect with at least 3 of his 3 pointers
They r getting screwed by the refs, Detroit is allowed to hack us play physical defense, when the Cavs play physical defense they call a foul. Allen committed 1 foul in the 1st quarter and got called for 3. Completely changed the game. Screw u bull learn ball, just look at the Tobias Harris post up perfectly illustrates how the Cavs r getting screwed
Stop turning over the damn ball. That is the #1 issue. Not free throws. We gave Detroit 31 pts off turnovers. Cut that in half and we win
As a pistons fan I find your guys complaining entertaining. You would get more calls if you don't turn the ball over 21 times and if you don't jack up 40 threes. Detroit plays in the paint and extremely aggressive. We don't shoot threes nearly as much. You know we got you guys beat when your best player crying after game 1
Try let's not be down 20 points in the 1st half every damn game
It's crazy as a pistons fan that we never do anything right apparently. It's funny how every team just plays bad. It wasn't our defense, it wasn't our aggressive play, it was because magic played bad. It was because the cavs made bad mistakes, they had unforced errors. The thing is at what point can Detroits defence get some credit for putting the pressure on your soft players to make bad decisions. To make stupid mistakes. If it constantly happens all season against almost every team, it's probably not Detroit getting lucky or the opposing teams playing bad, it might be Detroit playing well. But who cares, our play will speak. Detroit easily in 5
Vanilla wolf and j.t need to start tonight. Id be sitting james for first 5-7 mins
This is what Detroit does. They make other teams look ridiculous. Pistons length and physicality wear out opponents.
Thi is the Ellis series anyways. We knew that coming in didnāt we? Heās like the same player as Jenkins for Detroit. Look our best players have to win their matchups itās simple. Cavs are way more talented outside of Cade. And itās not like Cade is SGA. We should win four straight honestly. But I know that wonāt happen.
Post up Mobley, clear a side and post him at least 10 times, I never thought Iād c a worst coach then JB but Kenny is worse
I mean, I think a lot of it has to do with. Heās not getting the calls so like yes heās trying to maybe avoid contact now because even when he is getting in contact, heās missing the bucket and not getting a call on top of that.
Nuggets is all over it
Maaaaann, y'all better stop taking these excuses away from Cavs fans š yall wanna lose viewers???..
.. you need to be able to allow your fan base to make up excuses so they can cope.. š.. let them even make excuses up in their own heads if you have to.. ššš š¤£ play job better stop eliminating these excuses from your fan base or else they're not going to look at this show or anymore..
Mikey your hoops analysis is fantastic!!
Thomas Bryant should never see the floor the rest of the playoffs
I think Kenny actually had a good idea playing Bryant, he can space the floor and help don and James get to the basket⦠Bryant just needs to catch fire and hit some shots
Start Tyson over Wade. Tyson deserves more min, can get going early, moves the ball and plays defense. Wade can spell the 4 with Mobley and JA swapping in at 5. If Harden doesn't have it early, pull him for Dennis – but just spot min. Same with Don and Craig Porter – another dude that deserves min. If either bigs can't bring the physicality, let's see more of Bryant.
Biggest issues were the drop coverage on defense. I think we need to force the ball out of cade's hands.
We need to attack Cade on defense and get him exhausted.
Most importantly, we need to rebound the ball. Mobley cannot be the lone big.
Cade is 6'6
even when they lose bc of refs the players nor coaches ever complain about it. but they lose bc of the refs alot. don is 6 foot and big and he attacks the basket and barely gets fts while sga and brunson get showered with fts with less effort.. so what do you call that… BS cheating ass refs aka ny headquarters cheating to appease nba storylines and players they want highlighted like they did for sga last year to help with his mvp case although joker should of won again trip dud as a center should never be overlooked!!!!!!
Atkinson is a good coach and James Harden is gonna get him fired. Great player but right now he's the franchise player and thats your problem. Evan Mobley is the franchise and he's not being maximized on offense.
Of course the paint is being clogged up. They know the Cavs will never shoot a mid range jumper. That's why the Cavs will never win in the playoffs. They have no answer to teams taking away their 3s and shots at the rim.
