2026 East 1st Round Playoffs: (1) Detroit Pistons Vs. (8) Orlando Magic

Honestly the Rockets - everyone knew the pistons weren't going to score enough in the playoffs

 

Pistons have really only scored 1 point in the last 5:24 minutes of this game so far..?

 

If Nuggest fail, it'd be a bigger story than Rockets and Pistons under-achieving.

 

But the Rockets without KD? I would've counted out the Rockets right away. It only seems worse because he was expected to play and has been a gametime decision every game. Pistons won 60 games, the #1 seed and are completely healthy.

 

Defensive team struggling to score 100. Where have I seen that.



John Blair gon’ find himself fired.

 

Cade needs a guard who can handle the ball. I'd try to get Mitchell.

 

Adam Silver crying. His future nba “stars” showing up as frauds. Shooting like shiiit, turnover machine.

 

Last 3 games for Cunningham: 7 TO, 9 TO and 8 TO.

He is also only shooting 29.2% from 3 pt for the series.

Sure he is not getting any help, but that won't cut it.

 

Cade with a 8 turnover game after a 9 turnover game. Reminds me of Harden in the playoffs but at least Harden would rack up points and assists.

 

Cade has led Detroit on a historic losing streak in his career and now Cancun in the first round as a number one seed

 

I thought JB was starting to get a bit overrated with people salivating what he did with the Pistons this year. Guess he has been exposed as the usual fraud.

 

Cade has no spacing or anyone who can create a shot…his 2nd best scorer is Tobias Harris

not surprised with his struggles

the Pistons are built like the 2001 Sixers…that’s not gonna cut it in 2026

 

The Pistons have the same issue as the Rockets: a lack of floor spacing, so defenses pack the paint like sardines.

 

The Pistons just need a PG

 

One of the Magic, Raptors or Cavs will be going to the Conference Finals.

magic obviously gotta finish this series

 

He should try shooting better and taking care of the ball not to mention the team had a really good record without him, 13-4 or something like that

 

no insufferable "one pick away from cade" tweets from the rockets fanbase. very strange.
