My buddy was asking the same Q. You’re playing 5 out and getting barely any of the impact of it! And the Pistons have who exactly that can defend KAT?
He’s taken 5 total threes in 2 games! He’s taken 24 shots!

flopping absolutely ruins the game. Evident flopping should receive a technical at least.

Jalen’s flopping was so good even Thibs got tricked by it!

There is a flopping foul, right.
Why did I feel that for nearly every UM conference game this year?

As someone who watches mostly college basketball, it’s also jarring to see how much the players yell at the refs in the NBA. Is almost every possession.

There is but I can’t recall the last time I actually saw it called.
I don’t have a subscription but someone on the Pistons Forum mentioned that Cade got the most votes for Most Underrated (Hali won Most Overrated) and Stew came in 2nd for Player You’d Least Like to Fight.

world’s biggest eye roll
I think there’s a chance the Knicks go with more Robinson and Towns together on Thursday.
I think the Knicks need to clearly figure out how to utilize Bridges, Hart, OG, and Towns as something other than spectators to the Brunson show

I find this highly unlikely to happen under Thibs.
They’re a team that will take a meaningful leap with a coach who modernizes them.
Brunson/MB/OG/Hart/KAT is about as well balanced of a top 5 as you could ever want on offense. It’s not the players.
I don’t disagree - Thibs’ offensive MO is to put the ball in the hands of his guard and have him do all the work
I remain strongly convinced that Thibs is a really good coach but yeah I’m not sure this personnel really fits his strengths.
Will be interesting to see if they have the balls to make the move. Thibs is obviously beloved but not for the right reasons.
If they make it to Boston that’s a gentleman’s sweep all day long.
I think Thibs falls into the “good regular season, not getting it done in the playoffs” bucket, and been there for nigh on 2 decades. I also think that if you assembled an offense-first roster he’s a weird choice to coach it!
Duncan said that he is 100% sure Thibs is fired if they lose this series, and feels like he should be fired regardless. I’m sort of agreement about getting canned if they lose it. I made the point yesterday - how many of the 5 best players in this series are on the Knicks? 4?
He’ll get you 50 wins!

apparently i didn’t watch NBA until last night 
and there is a new flopping rule starting this season
I got 5 series bets in.
Thunder over Grizzlies in 7 ( not looking good, underestimated the Grizzlies side show)
Straight:
Warriors
Pistons
Clippers
Wolves
I went heavy on the lower seeds , not usually great but it’s an odd year. Warriors were favorite’s unfortunately, but not surprised.
Fading Jokic is scary but I love Kawhi when he actually plays.
Detroit might be tough but figured that series was going to be super tight
