@nbamark Context matters. Are those put backs, lobs and tip in’s? Obviously this is not sustainable when they pack the paint and doesn’t maximize our all star players ability to play in space

@mowiz04 JD a 19.5/10.5 guy this year. 6th in FG pctg. Ausar shot 52% from the field

Ausar Thompson is the real deal fans. Quit worrying about his offense. He’s the best defender in the NBA. His blocks and turnovers create plenty of points

@Underwood_szn It’s delusional to think he has carte blanche over athletic operations without the regents approval. He shouldn’t solely get blame for all the bad and no credit for the good.

Warde Manuel is 1 of just 2 Athletic Directors in college history to have both a Basketball and Football National Championship. He also navigated Michigan through NCAA investigations and got no vacated wins or bowl ban Is it time to change the narrative around Warde Manuel?

@SVG__Collection Cherry Wine w/Nas and Amy is such a classic of mines.

“Back to Black” — Amy’s voice still haunts in the best way possible

@SVG__Collection That wouldn’t be a island of one with those picks 👍🏾

@DoeJumars He’s 22 and just a rim running lob threat which is ok but his energy and effort for his size he hasn’t utilized and that’s on him. He’s too focused on trying to score instead of being a rebounding demon.

I compared Duren to Andre for years, this year I eased off because Duren took another step on offense but after this playoff? Least Embid (an MVP) used to rent space in Dre’s head, these NOBODIES are doing it to Duren. Can’t wait to see what crowd looks like Tonight 🤔

@layneashley222 @JCtheMANN Who is he Benjamin Button!?! I get that his offensive game isn’t developed but he should average at least ten rebounds a game just on his physical presence. Stew has more energy and effort than him.

@JCtheMANN Why are we assuming his athleticism is gone forever?

Jalen Duren is only 22-years-old. If the Pistons don’t pay him, someone else will. We’re all disappointed and frustrated with him but I’m seeing some really dumb reactionary takes. #DetroitBasketball

@ZachariahNBA @the_det_times If the plan was to give guys a opportunity to prove themselves that they can earn a max or extension with more minutes then I’m ok with that. This team wasn’t gonna win the east anyway with how it’s constructed. It’s about identifying and building for the future

@the_det_times He obviously had no plan with the playoff rotations. Very concerning

This man does NOT deserve to be fired.

@Sumseason @jdunn31673 To both points it’s not necessarily all on one person but if that one person can’t be a legit 2nd option and he wants a max contract he will totally prevent you from building a complete team.

@jdunn31673 What? I just don’t like people who make up shit that I never said. Get a grip.

I’m going to get hate for this but damn the overreactions on Duren are unhinged. Yeah he’s having a terrible series, have you watched the rest of the team? One dude is not responsible for this embarrassing collapse.

@omarisankofa They have to reconstruct this roster. There is just no room to operate for Cade and our second big can’t be our best defender.

FINAL: Pistons 94, Magic 88. The No. 1 seed is trailing the No. 8 seed, 3-1. Too many turnovers – 20, leading to 23 points – and not enough shot-making in the fourth. They return home on Wednesday for Game 5.

@AshNicoleMoss Now just imagine him playing with more space like these other guys.

i really love the way Cade Cunningham plays basketball. he just moves so effortlessly

@DoeJumars That player needs to be more importantly available. Levine is not.

don’t know how much $ is going to be left after paying Duren, gulp, but whatever is out of that LeVert/Duncan/Kevin H money being wasted needs to go to a guy who can VOLUME score and take pressure off Cade. Hate Lavine all you want but his 25 a game on good shooting > those guys

@BenPete0493865 @DamienPetersNBA Right. Dude is probably first team all NBA 😂

@DamienPetersNBA Who's not widely acknowledging that lol

This isn’t widely acknowledged, but Cade Cunningham is one of the best guards in the entire league and has perhaps the most underrated all-round game in the Association. Dude is everything we thought he would be.

@Charlottean28 This may not be a series that you can fully unlock duren tho. Probably bad matchup but he needs to continue to stay engaged and not do more than he’s not used to doing.

Feels like they can finally exhale and play basketball now. The lid is off. This was still nowhere near a great performance. They need to be better. Ultimately, it’s still 1-1. Need to go to Orlando on Saturday now and take care of business. Don’t give them any confidence.

@DoeJumars In the words of E-40……..Nope!

Is Duren worth 30m a year, even?

@VinceGoodwill Them targeting Brunson will be revisited in the next game as well.

What a crazy finish. McCollum misses both FT’s and Bridges misses a fadeaway jumper. 107-106 Tie series. Game 3 Thursday in Atlanta

@Charlottean28 It exposes the facts that his offensive game in the regular season is fools gold.

As good as Duren has been offensively, this is why the Pistons are reluctant to pay him. His defense hasn’t improved; the defense around him has. Way too many plays where he just isn’t in the right spot.

@_Fitness_Time Annual

what was the father's name?

@IAmEricVincent Is this regular season Rudy or playoff Rudy because dude gets exposed on PnR and rotations every year in the playoffs.

This is just flat out wrong on so many levels lol

@BobPagesports @ErtzintheTetons Right, also look at the 💵 for these tv deals the schools make. You can trivialize it to say minor league sports all you want but they generate major league money. Kids should benefit from that.

@ErtzintheTetons Yes! And THAT is now what it's all about in minor league sports.

First team EVER to win an NCAA title with ALL 5 starters transfers! Wonder how many $ it took to get them to U-M, a prestigious academic institution at which they had no right to matriculate? Wonder how many $ Dusty paid to get kids to play in a HIGH SCHOOL gym like FL. Atlantic?
