In The Boys finale, Homelander had to look powerless according to Eric Kripke “Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.” “People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’ “I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started.” “So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’ “And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.”
Do you agree with JB that “Anything besides positivity towards this group is unacceptable”
Ivey becoming... Ivey is a key issue. Daniss was a great find but he needs to be in the sixth man role, not starting as the secondary playmaker. Robinson and LeVert made them better but they need a high usage secondary weapon. Pathway is pretty clear for Detrot.
14 44 60 Regardless of how it ended tonight, this season was not a disappointment for the Pistons.
I can't believe the Pistons front office looked at this roster and really thought it'd be good enough to make a run.
The Detroit Pistons shot 60 attempts inside the arc and got 12 free throw attempts. The Cleveland Cavaliers shot 37 attempts inside the arc and got 34 free throw attempts. Donovan Mitchell had more FT’s than the entire Detroit Pistons team. The Cleveland Cavaliers went an entire quarter of NBA basketball without be called for a foul. I know the Detroit Pistons starters did not perform well at all in this game but the DRASTIC disparity of free throw attempts in favor of the jump shooting team over the slashing team is unbelievable.
Aside from the fact that this is awful, awkward television, it’s also just ahistorical. In his 4 years in Houston, Chuck averaged 16-12-4, including averaging 18 & 12 during a run to the Western Conference Finals. Draymond continues to recreate history.
