2026 East Semifinals: (1) Detroit Pistons Vs. (4) Cleveland Cavaliers

Agreed. The latest ridiculously huge NBA media deals cover the next 10 seasons. They had to take a flier on streaming with Amazon because it may become obvious in a couple of years that is the future of televised sports.

 

Game 7 Harden on deck.

 

I want to see Harden have a good game. Too bad Game 7 Harden is a thing. So, basing expectations on past experience... Harden will malfunction and the Pistons are taking this.

BTW, 20 years ago, the Cavaliers played the Pistons in the second round. The series followed the exact same pattern with the Pistons winning Game 7. That was the last season the Pistons played with the starting five that won the championship. The next season, LeBron ended that version of the Pistons.

 

Spida bite lol Nice..

 

What a quarter.

 

Cavs have a decent squad.

 

Cavs look good, but Cade still hasn't arrived yet.

 

will he?

 

Cavs are a much better team, but these missed free throws could haunt them.

 

Cade is a dumb player. Getting exposed!

 

Merrills release is so dang quick

Cavs dominating everything, except for 5 missed FT

 

Teams that can shoot vs teams that can't. It reminds me of Lakers vs Rockets Game 6. No matter how high you can jump or how fast you can run in transition, it doesn't matter much if you lack fundamental skill and shooting ability.

 

You guys that said the Cavs would fold should be enjoying your crow right now.

I don't think Cade has the energy tonight. It's pathetic he has to bring the ball up the court 90% of the time.

Pistons emptied their gun in game 6. They might ramp up their defense for a few mins and make a run at some point, but the Cavs are gonna win. I expected a very close game but that may not happen.

 

there's some selling but if above the shoulder contact...? *shrugs*

 

He probably has a valid arguments on some calls but if I were a ref I would never buy what Bickerstaff is selling. He literally b****es and complains about every single call, even the obvious ones. Their is something very crass about the way he tries to work them.

 

lol harden acting skills

 

We should have traded for Harden.

 

Jenkins grabbing Harden's arm is still a foul. DET plays defense but they foul a lot.

 

just checked the score

I still don’t trust Mitchell, Harden, or the Cavs in a road game 7
