    #1 seed Pistons on the brink of elimination not getting as much slander as the rockets.

    In fairness, the east is the home of frauds. If no one takes your entire conference seriously, you miss a ton of shade

    Cade was literally averaging 31 ppg on 57% TS this series before tonight with his 2nd leading scorer being Tobias shooting 42% from the field and 19% from deep…

    and regular season means nothing, just ask Jalen Duren

    Last time the magic was up 3-1 against the pistons, they went on to blow the 3-1 lead.

    Funny enough, both were the exact same seed.

    Detroit was always a tricky playoff team because of Ausar/spacing. Also Orlando is now fully healthy after having underachieved all year (actually even into one play in round) - but they always had talent, obviously.

    Contrast that with THIS Lakers team - imo without Luka & Reeves they are just horrible, a 30 win lottery team type of roster even with LeBron. Their 2&3rd highest paid players on Sunday were Rui and Jared Vanderbilt.

    But the playoffs do and he’s a TO machine. In fact he’s averaging 5.9 TOs a game through his playoff career which is the most in nba history

    that is why he needs a secondary ball handler which he does not have…that is why he needs spacing which he does not have…that is why he needs a co-star and better 2nd scorer than Tobias Harris which he does not have…

    Watching game 4 Pistons vs. Magic was like watching the Rockets vs. the Rockets. There were so many bricks pounding the rims, I thought they might have to change them between the 3rd and 4th quarters.

    Woof, those silly predictions by Shaq, Kenny, Charles & EJ look really silly right now. I think I was Celtics Thunder with an outside shot for Cavs & Nuggets if they do beat the Spurs.
