Playoff Live Thread: Cavs vs Pistons (Game 6)
2026-05-15It’s a war of attrition, Cavs fans. While the flu has been ripping through the wine and gold, the Pistons have three questionable players: Caris LeVert, Kevin Huerter, and Duncan “the mustache” Robinson. Cavs need to kick some ass here, and blow this team out of the building.
The core four has been balling, Max Strus had been bringing the fire, and Schröder, Merrill, Wade, and a smidge of Tyson have been giving the Cavs just enough. Cleveland needs to play smart, ride the home crowd wave, and close this mother***er out. Go Cavs.
It would be one thing to lose this game; it’s another to lose it this way. With the veterans we have, how did we not look more comfortable and prepared in this game?
Across the way, Guardians trailing Cincy 3-0
Might as well get Tyson in here and try to rehab him to be an option in Gane 7
and as Dean Wade slides into second base, the sun begins to set.
Wade falling = calling it.
Somewhat emblematic, right?
Had 4 shots at it then a TO.
Another microcosm.
I don’t understand why Mitchell tried to dunk that. Just lay it up with the left hand.
Exactly
He does not have the best BB IQ.
“hero mode”
He went for the crowd pleaser…not necessary.
This team has misfired in so many ways at the rim.
Oh man – Mitchell just doesn’t have it.
Terrible Mitchell game.
5 on Thompson.
It’s obvious that this is as far as we can advance in the playoffs with this roster.
It is unbalanced. And has been for years.
A small SG. A bunch of small wings. 2 skinny bigs. And Wade.
Altman trying to mimic Lillard/McCollum was always freaking stupid. The huge Lauri/Mobley/Allen behind it kinda worked.
We are winning the FT line and are even on ORebs.
Being outshot and losing TOs.
Sasser, Robinson, LeVert, Reed, and Duren all playing well for Detroit.
Playing like it’s their last chance.
Whelp. It’s now or never
Try Tyson for a minute
Nothing to lose. Or Ellis.
Still tons of time.
But I think losing by 20 is more likely than a win.
Tyson seemed to lose his head last game. That may have set him back a bit.
Cannot make a shot at the rim. Blocked, missed, blown.
Terrible close.
It went to crap once Harden & Allen sat.
Mitchell has been ass tonight.
Do they all have the flu?
Jesus. Last minute of the third may end up telling the story of the series.
Getting played off the floor.
Yikes. Cavs hard to watch right now. Just can’t get anything going.
Okay, that missed dunk was a “microcosm” of the Cavs game today.
Cavs utter ass.
Hope we show up on Sunday.
Unable to take care of the rock, their achilles heel.
Silly 3 from Mobley.
Another O board leads to a 3.
Another TO.
Down 12.
Schröder gd useless
Sam!!! Gettin it going!!
Every time the Cavs can iso Harden on Robinson, they score. Just sayin.
Just can’t hang onto the ball. Weird.
If I have to hear that this play is a microcosm of the pistons season one more time I might be muting.
Microcosm of the game right there.
Fucking Schroder and these no rebounding lineups
The Pistons deserved that bucket.
Schröder, Harden, & Allen have positive +/-. Strus is even.
Showing +/- for a single game is crap.
A good time to stop playing w food.
2 year old in a high chair.
Back within 7.
What a sequence! Ending with a JA layup!
17 TOs.
In the bonus.
No tech on JB??
God I hate Harden.
He is hard to love.
