    Mosley could be a movie star if he could act. Bicky could only be the guy who held the boom in a movie set.

    Not true, Matt Damon and Meth Damon are both liked and share the same profession.

    Wish I could be a Pistons fan, they got a Thompson, the #1 guy in Cade and actual star, an actual center and tough as nails. Only don't care about that nutjob who thinks the NBA floor is an MMA arena.

    I expect the Pistons to bring their nastiest attitude and get crazy physical and intense in game 2 because that is what they are best at.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Jalen Duren or Desmond Bane gets into a fight and somebody is ejected from the game.

    I honestly think Ime looks at the Pistons as the blueprint for what he wants to mold the Rockets to be. Defense first, low scoring, non 3-point shooting team. Duran and Ausar in the starting lineup shouldn't work, the same way Sengun and Amen doesn't work. Final score of 83-98 is exactly what he wants. We'll see how that works out for the Pistons. I think the lack of shooting will catch up to them quickly in the playoffs.

    Jalen Duran’s annual dollar amount on his next contract is decreasing by $5 mil/yr each game

    Didn't envision in my dreams that Orlando would bounce back so quickly after the Philly defeat.

    Hmm Pistons remind me of last year's rockets. Young talented team getting humiliated by the 8th seed. Maybe they should trade for a great scorer?

    Jalen Duren is going to be ran out of town if the Pistons lose this series. It's not like the rest of the team is playing much better though..

    Banchero is a fully dogshit shooter. He should be embarrassed
