@Carsobi I’m surprised to not see more people on the Pistons. Think they pose bad matchups for Cavs and Knicks and I’d pick Knicks to beat the 76ers in a tight series.
I am so impressed by the Pistons' response from down 3-1. Cade was unbelievable. Defense was extraordinary.
Tonight, everyone stepped up — Tobias Harris became prime KD, Duren had his best game, Jenkins was huge.
Also, losing Franz was brutal for Orlando on both ends.
@FbioAlv61088159@CAlmanza1007 I think people underestimate how important rhythm is. Definitely don’t want his first game or 2 back being against the spurs
@tlogg_21@kalenlaronm@Carsobi Offensively you could be right, always gonna rely on a ball handler to get the team into offense. But he definitely can be the best player in the league due to his defensive impact
@kalenlaronm@Carsobi He is the reigning champ so you can argue he was already the BITW. Jokic’s play only confirms Shai is the best currently. I believe Wemby will have a chance to grab the BITW title in the conference finals though.
@Carsobi Why? Shouldn’t we leave that opinion until whoever holds the trophy? This suns series is not a good measuring stick for that title. Think we should slow down on the narrative. They are the worse team in the playoff field
Brunson got a late bucket on CJ, but he struggled against Atlanta’s best defenders all night.
CJ, on the other hand, got two tough ones to go over Hart/McBride.
That was the difference in a game both teams did a great job avoiding switches.
CJ has been better through 3 games.
