PISTONS vs CAVS Game 2!

[Nyfancam01]

Who's watching?

Nice start for Detroit again.... Cleveland not looking so hot... ... ... YET.

[JustinVerlander07]

LeBron fouls Morris, no call. No surprise.

[Nyfancam01]

Kyrie for 3 back to back

[JustinVerlander07]

LeBron flops, draws a foul. No surprise.

[IronMonkey415]

That Johnson kid fears no one.

[Nyfancam01]

LOL Lebron just DESTROYED somebody !!!!!

who got dunked on??? Bullock??

[xavieronly1]

Did Lebron just dance like Westbrook?

[Nyfancam01]

Did Lebron just dance like Westbrook?

Nope. He was in a RAGE after completely devastating somebody under the rim.

Not sure what YOU saw :rolleyes:

[jj2]

Did Lebron just dance like Westbrook?

No.

Ten chars.

[JustinVerlander07]

It's so annoying how the refs never call ANYTHING on LeBron.

[rttrffg2012]

I just don't understand the love for Kyre Irvin. How is he better point guard than any of the other guys? Got handle, but with his decision-making ...he sucks so bad !

He's so damn average. Honestly makes me want to Lance Stevenson over him (maybe not)

[jiggidy]

Good game so far. This might be the best series of the first round. All of the of the other series have been pretty boring.

I applaud your near perfect impersonation.

oh so they didn't just call an offensive foul on james then?

yea. you're always right.. .... ... :rolleyes:

Just ignore him don't feed the troll

[realreodeal]

Just ignore him don't feed the troll

Takes one to know one 😈👿👹👺💀

[JustinVerlander07]

LeBron hitting a 3, how boring, all he does is shoot 3's and dunk!

[jiggidy]

More Stanley Johnson, less Tobias Harris please.

[jcardstore]

Takes one to know one 😈👿👹👺💀

Nobody is questioning that lol

[cnewby]

Anybody think Middle Tennessee could compete with either of these teams?

[Nyfancam01]

Anybody think Middle Tennessee could compete with either of these teams?


they'd beat the team from michigan. .. ... ... AGAIN
lollololololol :)!

[JustinVerlander07]

Franchise record for 3's, how lucky!! 3 point shooting is so boring!

[jcardstore]

What a quarter from the cavs excellent defense and great unselfish play

[Nyfancam01]

okay.. no reason for James to be in the game now.

Go ahead and sit him down.

[jcardstore]

Go ahead and sit him down.

Yea cavs have this game in hand rest him for game 3

[Nyfancam01]

really stunned to see KYRIE IN THE GAME up by 18 with 3 mins left... LOVE also.


no need to have them out there!

[rauchand]

Pistons got owned in the 2nd half. It'll be a different story at the Palace. Won't be shocked if it goes back to Cleveland 2-2

[Nyfancam01]

This is the last game at Cleveland in this series.

They should give back all those boring threes out of respect for their fan.

[Nyfancam01]

They should give back all those boring threes out of respect for their fan.

I agree. I hated seeing the CAVS just tie an NBA record. That totally sucked.

But I LOVED seeing LEBRON victimize somebody at the rim hahaha

[auctionjmm]

The Cavs might be onto something here...Anyone sense that they are practicing 3's for GSW? What if they actually tried shooting 50 three-pointers per game in the finals? Heck, what if they shoot ALL threes?

[JustinVerlander07]

@detnewsRodBeard
#Pistons Stanley Johnson on LeBron: "I wish he would just talk when it’s 0-0, not when he’s up 16 and already got it going."

Look at LeBron talking trash when he's up by a lot! What a goon! So unlikable!

I'm sickened and disgusted.

[kairi-2008]

Detriot played well, they shut down the Cavs starters that's for sure. James played well, but the other four didn't excel.
It was the Cavs bench in Richard Jefferson, Delladova and Channing Fry that got the Cavs over the line.

Huh? The other four starters (J.R. Smith, Kyrie, Love, Thompson) accounted for 55% of the team's points, 46% of the team's rebounds, and 35% of the team's assists. Jefferson, Dellavedova, and Frye accounted for 13% of the team's points, 19% of the team's rebounds, and 39% of the team's assists (all nine assists were from Dellavedova).

The starters also shot 44% from the field and 56% from the three point arch.

Lol did you watch the game?

It's really easy to look at the box score and pretend you know how the game played out

[tennelson55]

Really wish Kyrie scored a bit more, he had like 14 points early on and couldn't hit much the rest of the game. I think Kyrie should have shot the ball a bit more; he was starting to pass the ball when I wished he'd shoot. I guess that's a good thing for him though considering he has been bashed about not passing the ball much (I've bashed him for it too). The game looked ugly in the 2nd and 3rd quarters for the cavaliers and if Drummond could stay in the game 40+ minutes I think it could have been a different outcome.

[Jasondr91]

I'd go higher than that!

Scary to see the Cavs starters up by so many...that late into the game. Lue is a gambling man.

So JR scores more points than anyone of Detroit, hits more 3's that everyone on Detroit combined, yet, he was shut down?

And Jefferson, Delly and Frye only combined for 14 points. The Cavs won by 17.

Ok

[Scottish Punk]

Game 1 was the Pistons best chance of stealing a game in the series. They might be able to get game four if Cleveland goes into coast mode after being up 3-0. Still great experience for all the young Pistons. They still need a superstar piece for any chance of deep playoff runs. I am not a believer in Reggie Jackson, maybe he will grow up a bunch after this series and realize what it takes to lead a team in the playoffs. Drummond, KCP, and Johnson all seem to be gaining confidence. Just need to get Drummond to spend the entire off season shooting free throws, he needs to be on the floor in the final minutes.

[imbluestreak23]

The Pistons hung around way too long in this one.

LeBron, as much of a statistical beast as he is, he has no killer instinct in him at all.

The last time a Van Gundy talked smack to Jordan, MJ dropped 51 points. Throw in the fact that Stanley Johnson was also trashing on Lebron during and after the game (guess there was Chris Childs back in the day)...where is the motivation from LeBron to just go completely take a dump on these Pistons?

LOL right...

LeBron doesn't need to take 30 shots a game. He could have dropped 50 if he wanted but that's counter productive to the teams success. He's more interested in getting his teammates involved

Lebron is a pass first player, who the hell cares about killer instinct or not. Once you make plays that win the game.

Finding fault where there is none.

So LeBron drops 22/11/6 and 27/6/3...

While only needing 35 shots in 2 combined to do it... and while shooting basically 60% from the floor...

And we're going to find a problem.

Blowout you are the best

Yes, but the starters couldn't really pull away from Detroit. It was the Cavs bench while on the court that really split the teams.
The % you get isn't relavent, you could score 50% of the total but if you give up just as much you haven't really achieved.
The Cavs three I mentioned may not have achieved as much is personal stats, but the stopped Detroit and that's the difference.

Did you just look at the box score or watch the game? When the starters were on the floor together they dominated

[kairi-2008]

Ok

He may have scored more points, but while he was on the court Detroit out scored the Cavs. It's a team game not a personal one.

Don't comment about games you don't watch. It's obvious you just looked at the box score and made assumptions about something you have no idea about

After what Stanley Johnson said today, you may just get your wish on Friday....

[440shane]

Good job, good effort Pistons. Will be a tough out in years to come but I think the cleaning crew is coming on Sunday to sweep out the lockerroom....

[oshmeehan]

A comedy of errors for the Pistons the last few minutes of the game

[xavieronly1]

LOL @ Drummond.

[tjforce]

He may have scored more points, but while he was on the court Detroit out scored the Cavs. It's a team game not a personal one.

Again, you stated that the Cavs other 4 were shut down. Going 7-11 from 3 point range is not getting shut down. If you want to argue that they were inefficient defensively while on the court, fine, but not shut down.

[UltimateDeron]

LOL @ Drummond.

What happened here?

[xavieronly1]

What happened here?

Nothing.

Just people continue calling him one of the best centers in the league while he was benched for the last 6 mins because Pistons did not want Cavs to do hack-a-Drummond. He almost cried when he couldn't help the team.

As I said many times before, his free throw will cost his team to lose in the playoff. Even Shaq would hit 1 out of 2. Drummond can hit 1 out of 4.

[JustinVerlander07]

What happened here?

A supposed 'franchise player' is completely unplayable in a close game because he'll just get hacked and continue to show he's the worst FT shooter in league history.

[exoticprince]

Yea shaq used to somehow hit em when it most counted when teams did the hack a shaq

[DunkingDurant35]

Wow, some really inaccurate analysis by some posters in this thread. Oh well. Truth is, the Pistons played very hard and gave the Cavs a great fight, but the Cavs' big three - along with Thompson's offensive rebounding and Delly's great decision-making - were dominant tonight.

Good game so far. This might be the best series of the first round. All of the of the other series have been pretty boring.

Agreed. Have really enjoyed this one.

[auctionjmm]

So is Drummond going to get suspended or what? Everyone is making a big deal of Isaiah Thomas' likely suspension, but Drummond's elbow to Lebron's head was worse. I think the media is late to this one, but by tonight wouldn't be surprised to hear some news from the league.

[xavieronly1]

Shaq has about 58% in FT. This year GS has 56.3% on eFG%. This accounts for the adjustment with 3 point shot. This means, hack-a-shaq actually will give you disadvantage in a long run.

However, for Drummond, his FT% is 35%. This number is so bad that even the worst offensive team (Lakers) has 46% in eFG%.

By having Drummond on the court, would his defense turn the other team eFG% down below 35%?

Not like LeBron hasn't been throwing elbows throughout the series. LeBron is just soft, would grab his head if he twisted his ankle.

[auctionjmm]

Guys use elbows in the paint all the time. Initiating contact, using the off hand, etc. is all part of the game. Sometimes he he gets away with it, sometimes he doesn't.

Blind-siding someone with a forearm to their head away from the ball is a completely different thing.

Also, hard to call a guy soft when he has only missed 80 games in his entire career. That's about 6 per year, half of which were just normal resting days.

[Brobocop]

Yowza, Kyrie with that shot. Nice!

[Jedi1823]

Did Craig Sager steal some of my old sheets to make that suit?

[cnewby]

Travel by Kyrie. 4 steps....

[jcardstore]

Yea it definitely was a travel haha

[Nyfancam01]

Lebroom james

[jiggidy]

Great series even though the Pistons didn't take a game. Young team so a lot of learning experiences this year. They put up a good fight and that is all you can ask for.

[tjforce]

Nice way to finish these guys off in four. Now time for Reggie Jackson to take up his off-season job of Somali pirate
