Garland back in the starting lineup with Cedi coming of the bench. Should be interesting. Let’s take more threes! Power to the players!
Cavs defense has actually been great except for the rebounding, holding them to low FG% and generating a ton of turnovers.
43% from the field, 12 turnovers for Detroit.
Has but we completely lost people on like 3-4 cuts. That is a lot of layups in one half.
Easily fixable. Just can’t turn their backs.
not talking about individual plays, talking about the whole half.
Yep get that.
DG 1/1 from 3…needs to take more…
Lots of mistakes on both ends. Lucky to be down 2.

Giveth and taketh away
Cedi -22 in the first half.
Windler +20 in the first half.
Prince +3 in the first half.
Okoro -8 in the first half.
4/7 FROM 3 PT LAND ——-UNLEASH THEM J.B.
We’re either not looking or generating catch a lot of catch and shoots.
DITTO WHAT MIKEO POSTED
Windler 12 minutes so far…would like to see more minutes than that tonight…
our defensive rebounding sucks and and Sexton and Drummond have 7 turnovers in the first half… that’s the difference in the game. Energy on defense and decision making on offense.
And about 8 points from uncontested cuts where people lost guys.
IF DRE WOULD JUST TAKE / MAKE THE EASY SHOT HE COULD HAVE 20+ PTS –WE WOULD HAVE A POSSIBLE DOUBLE DIGIT LEAD —-GEEEEEZ….” MORE BEER PLEASE “
NICE DEFENSE DG!!!
Drummond is the ultimate trick or treat player.
Oob plays so basic.
Barely can get it in
Said same.
Been noticeable since preaseason. I was hoping back then it was just execution and guys not knowing what to do. Don’t think that is it
GREAT POCKET PASS DG!!! DRE WITH A FINISH!!!
Dear God. Finish a GD layup Dre.
/prayer not answered
DG another great pass to Dre, and Dre can’t just layup or dunk it.
Windler crafty finish. Just wish could get him som open treys in halfcourt
GREAT FINISH WINDLER! good job DG and Dre.
Great cut
Guards losing people off the ball a lot tonight
Sexton caught sleeping again.
WTF is Drummond doing
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING DRUMMOND?????
Drummond things…
Great hustle Windler and okoro
No idea where dg was going there. 3 guys all bigger around him
You can understand why the coaches love Windler…just a solid player…
WINDLER WITH THE ENERGY!!! SEXTON FINISH!
Darius out of control. Pull up at the free throw line.
WHY DG????? 9 shots, 1 3pointer taken????

Plumlee is a player to dislike
Yeah. Where’s Dahntay Jones when we need him.
nice pass Okoro, Dre sucks at finishing for a 7 footer.
He also has no real post moves…just a good, but frustrating, player…
Drummond with a four point miss. He’s awful tonight.
Similar to the first Pistons game…
bad offball defense Prince that possession.
WHAT THE HECK DRUMMOND CATCH THAT PASS!!! hit you in both hands!
Okoro great play. Play to the whistle
HEY CEDI!!!!! FOR THREEE! hope that gets him going.
OMFG, Dre with an awful take.
Love Okoro…(nightly reminder….)
HOPE IT ISN’T SERIOUS FOR COLLIN —-DOUBTFUL WE SEE HIM ANYMORE TONIGHT —WILL TAKE PRECAUTIONS WITH HIM
Cedi doesn’t have it tonight -18 p/m, put Windler back in JB!!!
Wft! Plumlee just shoulder checked dre on the closeout on that pistons three. Knocked him right on his ass. O foul. Bickerstaff gotta get a tech for that. Dunno how you miss that.
“D” TOO MUCH REACHING –OUT OF POSITION —NO WEAKSIDE / HELP DEFENSE ROTATION —C’MON CAVS
Woof
Drummond awful last two possessions.
Drummond awful shot… awful help defense, rage timeout JB.
Cavs real. Lackadaisical tonight.
Bring Windler back in.
+1…here he comes…
Ooof. That was not good by allen. Going to be a foul everytime
that was a reach in foul, no call.
Oh no, Sexton’s hurt, and it’s his foot….. you know he has to be hurt.
Turned an ankle looks like
Sexton on fire from midrange
Cedi, bad decision just pull it back.
Thought he got fouled.
maybe, but sure looked like he didn’t have numbers on his side.
Boy that seemed like a walk.
good finish Sexton, but protect the ball.
GREAT PASS CEDI!!! GREAT CUT AND FINISH SEXTON!
2 straight YB TOs.
Bad awareness by sexton. Given up a few easy cuts tonight
WHAT ARE YOU DOING SEXTON>?????????
Wow, awful turnover Sexton… 3 already. Get it together man.
That one dude looks like jason maxwell.
Dunno what the foul there was
JUST WATCH WINDLER WITHOUT THE BALL—SO INTELLIGENT AT READING DEFENSES— MOVING WHERE THE DEFENSE ISN’T
good defense Cedi, forced him out of bounds!
+12 and +14 Windler and Prince!!! Ride those horses JB!!!
Windler has some active hands
WINDLER IS BALLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DOTSON FINISH RAGE TIMEOUT!!!
Windler looks really good tonight…both sides of the ball…
Prince has really played well for the Cavs…hope he keeps it up…
That was terrible awareness by dot
Who are the Pistons building around? Do they have any pieces or is this a team full of average Joes?
Doumbouya and Hayes, I suppose…
Doumbouya looks pretty meh, but I guess he’s raw and young
I like him, he’s still the youngest player in the NBA, and, as you say, raw…a project, but in a couple of years could be a major piece…
Grants a good scorer and still pretty young
Prince is cleaning the glass…. I wanna see him get 35 minutes tonight.
GREAT DROP PASS SEXTON WHAT A FINISH ALLEN!!!
Good idea by windler. Good defensive play on the oop
MIKEO NOT ONLY ALLEN BUT ALSO PRINCE FOR WHAT WE HAD TO GIVE UP IS AMAZING
