Pistons just playing much harder on D. The ball pressure and denials from Cleveland are nowhere near as energetic.
Also should’ve been a clear path foul on that Ausar steal that Strus grabbed him on. Completely missed by the refs, turned eventually into a run out anyway but still.
duncan should have his mustache forcibly shaved at halftime
JB INNOCENT
This Cavs core just has loser DNA
Insane choice to add James Harden lol
He looks like a band leader at the Copacabana
Cavs played a lot harder in the 2nd quarter and found something w Harden ball screens. Also the Pistons did a ton of dumb turnovers.
Shooting luck a lot of the diff right now I think.
He’s 2/10 With 1 assist to 4 turnovers
He refused to take the ball up court under pressure
no need to gild the lily
YMMV. Thought the traditional ball screen coverage was ceding open shots. Pretty obvious the Cavs have a shooting luck problem.
Anyone notice how bad Ausar was missed that Q???
Double bigs for the Cavs working?
At bare minimum, it should be super effective defensively in the halfcourt this series when Ausar and a big are on the court. That pairing, just like the Cavs in general, seems better in theory than in practice
Another wide open Cavs 3 off the Harden ball screen doesn’t go in. Dangerous way to live. Pistons now losing the possession game.
impressed Duncan is playing this well considering a couple hours ago he was auditioning for the John Waters biopic
Every decision James Harden made in the 4th quarter was poor. He’s garbage.
I will always root for Duncan to do well. You love to see it.
50% from 3 is tough to beat.
The dream of another 1989 finish is gaining some momentum!
His game is so unlikable too. I was a fan of his back in the OKC days but each year he gets a little more loathsome.
Maybe he’s s sweetheart of a guy off the court but he’s just yuck in between the lines.
No he’s garbage off the court too
They did a really nice job closing out this game.
