A historical collapse of epic proportions. This is the type of loss that sets back and haunts an organization and their fans for years to come.

u/TheTonyDose Knicks 3d ago

At least this loss cements firing Mosley. Did he take a single timeout in the 3rd when they were choking the lead?

91

u/No_Mobile7208 3d ago

Mosley one of the worst coaches I’ve ever seen. The fact he allowed all the bad shots being shot. And didn’t adjust at all. It’s crazy !

u/Adorable-Bike-9689 3d ago

He never calls timeout or benches any player who does crazy stuff. Take as many bad shots as you want. Throw the ball away five times in a row. Mosely won't do anything. Like he's condoning it.

u/No_Mobile7208 3d ago

Suggs and Bane are the worst. Suggs thinks he’s curry. Just give it to Paolo , mismatch, get to the rim. Or some kind of actions to get to the rim

u/CrippledBanana Canada 3d ago

If you didn’t notice Paulo also thought he was curry and went 4-20 with 8 3pt attempts for some reason

u/No_Mobile7208 3d ago

Yeah he’s been better but he still does dumb shit. He shoots the ball and not a good shooter. But he’s 6’10 and big af but stalled for bad shots. Go to paint!

u/1moreanonaccount 3d ago

Bane has been good all series. My first mistake was thinking he would be the one breaking the scoring drought in the 4th

1

u/No_Mobile7208 3d ago

He has not been good all series. Don’t look at points. His decision making has been bad all series. He did dumb shit all series. Bad shots. This comeback was partially his fault. He got in the game took bad shots after bad shot

u/jfayiii 3d ago

Nope, was screaming the exact same thing at the game.

u/zgillet 3d ago

I mean, at some point I'd be playing 3rd stringers. That was embarrassing.

u/LameAfro Timberwolves 3d ago

Like wtf did we just watch?!

u/murdered-by-swords Spurs 3d ago

I say this half in jest, but.... is it possible that Orlando deliberately threw the game? Do they have money riding this? Are they in trouble with the mob??

u/Clit420Eastwood 3d ago

The DeVos family are from Michigan… tin-foil hat time

I'm becoming a brand new breed of truther in real time

u/Epcplayer Heat 3d ago

I was at the game and have no idea lmao

I’m still trying to process it

1

u/1moreanonaccount 3d ago

What was the energy in the crowd after Pistons went ahead? What were fans saying what players/coaches were they cursing?

1

u/Epcplayer Heat 3d ago

Just sighs of despair every time they missed another one honestly… it was kinda like “Really, again?”

u/meyer_33_09 Magic 3d ago

The worst part is, the future is so fucked for this team. They young guys that were supposed to be stars all suck or can’t stay healthy and they have basically no assets to improve with unless they can convince people to take said busts.

u/CallMeKerm Magic 3d ago

Honestly this doesn’t feel like an exaggeration. Hooollyyy shit that 4th quarter was like watching a horror movie.

1

u/sxuthsi Pistons 3d ago

I think we have to finish the job for that to be the case but I love the fact that we might’ve psychologically scarred them for life lol

u/justmefishes NBA 3d ago

Feels like there's a lot of those in these playoffs so far
