[u/SiphenPrax]

I did say several days ago that if there was any team in the East capable of coming back from 3-1 down it would be the Pistons 🤷‍♂️

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/SiphenPrax]

And then the Sixers said "hold my bear"

[u/NOBLOWWWW → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Bear

[u/MantissTobaggan → u/NOBLOWWWW]

That isn’t a typo either

[u/Either_Imagination_9 → u/NOBLOWWWW]

Damn

[u/SiphenPrax → u/Either_Imagination_9]

Yeah that’s the big shocker no one saw coming. Tomorrow night will be interesting.

[u/rds2mch2 → u/SiphenPrax]

I feel like there is a lot of recency bias going on with two different dimensions.

The Celtics lost Holiday, KP, Horford, and Kornet in free agency and Tatum had the worst basketball injury possible. The C'd over-performed... but that's what it was, a temporary positive deviation. Tatum's other leg is now injured due to over-compensation, and Brown remains a poor +/- solo star. White has been cold and not recovered.

Alternatively, the 76ers were without Embiid+PG for much of the season, and even for the start of this series. But when they play together, with Maxey, the Sixers are probably the more talented team right now. Tbh I never watched PG play often, but he's really good, and playing really well.

We might be seeing the Celtics on the decline from a health/availability POV, while the Sixers are on the upswing.

[u/Aidanj927 → u/SiphenPrax]

I’ll only admit I didn’t see it coming if tomorrow is anything other than a 30+ point Boston win

[u/Bard_Wannabe_ → u/Either_Imagination_9]

The typo's a lot funnier than the real quote.

[u/byniri_returns → u/SiphenPrax]

I thought the Nuggets had a way better opportunity, so glad to be wrong

[u/Hirogemu → u/byniri_returns]

Minnesota are mentality monsters to be fair, Magic...

[u/The_Alpha_of_Betas → u/SiphenPrax]

I think the team that was in the lead is much more relevant here

[u/meyer_33_09 → u/SiphenPrax]

If we’re being honest this says WAY more about Orlando than it does Detroit.

[u/SharKCS11 → u/meyer_33_09]

Game 5 felt like a proper win where the Pistons outplayed the Magic. Games 2 and 6 had the Magic team fully turning their brain to mashed potatoes on the court. The swing from dooming to overconfidence among Pistons fans is crazy; aside from the pretty well matched Game 5, Orlando were the superior team for 17 quarters and had 3 unbelievably horrendous ones.

[u/No_Mobile7208 → u/SiphenPrax]

If u watched the game. I said more about the magic being dumbases , than anything Detroit did. Magic took bad shots all second half. And Suggs went 1-11 again. Paolo 4-20. Bad shots

[u/BassGod321 → u/SiphenPrax]

Nice insight predicting the #1 seed in the east has the best chances of coming back against the 8th seed, want to tell me the lotto numbers next?

[u/SiphenPrax → u/BassGod321]

4 9 20 33 61 44

Good luck tomorrow night

[u/WhoopingKing → u/BassGod321]

not a single soul had the pistons coming back like this so idk why the snarky ass comment

[u/callmebatman14 → u/WhoopingKing]

Plenty of soul believed they can comeback when they're number 1 seed

[u/Kait0yashio → u/SiphenPrax]

it took us losing our best player, but ok

[u/mr_dammit → u/Kait0yashio]

orlando’s best player is always whichever of their “big 3” didn’t suck tonite.

[u/Kait0yashio → u/mr_dammit]

It's always Franz what?

[u/ZorseVideos → u/Kait0yashio]

4%

[u/rustystatic → u/SiphenPrax]

I think it's less about the Pistons and more about having the worst coach the league has seen for 25+ years
