Holy hell. I actually agree with Charles Barkley on a basketball take: “Cade Cunningham has more responsibility than any other player in the NBA.”

So if it’s determined that was not a foul, why was it not also called a flop?

AUSAR THOMPSON VICE PRESIDENT

PAUL REED FOR PRESIDENT

Funny I'm watching the Kevin Hart Roast and Usher is singing. To a mostly empty arena. 😂

Me waiting on @candacepedraza.bsky.social to come down to the island

my attention span during 3-0 playoff games

Not sure catching up on The Boys was a great palette cleanse but here we are

We also over helped on drives which opened up 3s to prioritize the rim then were late to rotate as a result. That has nothing to do with the refs.

This felt like a regular season game from 2018. Please don’t do this, @nba.com. We’d like to watch grown men play basketball.

30-10 FT discrepancy

So that wasn't a foul on Allen?

We did not bring the required energy and intensity to take this game, bottom line.

Clear push off by Donovan on Ausar, no call.

Get Paul Reed some help

This is brutal. One on one is not going to get it done.

Harden with a clear outstretch arm to push off then gets the graze on the arm that didn't affect the shot. That kind of night if we're going to let him get comfortable.

Why are aren't pressing up on them is beyond me. Sitting back and letting Harden cook is a mistake.

Wait we're calling grabbing fouls now?

16-7 fouls. Good stuff.

Mitchell using his arm to push Daniss on that drive wasn't a foul. Sure.

Bench Ausar until he gets his head out of his ass. Give his minutes to Caris or Ron.

Credit JB for going 10 deep in the first half to see who can get something going. Some B-Ball Paul minutes over Stew and I think the second unit can jump out to a larger lead in the second half.

If Stew is going to be this ineffective we need B Ball Paul minutes, stat. He's a hooper, let the man hoop.

I’m pretty sure Tobias got fouled by Mobley on the arm on that rainbow jumper that was just a bit short and I would contend most drives into the middle are fouls on their bigs; They’re just not calling them because Detroit doesn’t flop.

Caris fouling the exact right way there - don’t let him get a shot off. If I’m Detroit and they’re going to give Cleveland to all these soft fouls and allow them to flop then I’m going to start putting bodies on the ground and make them count.

For his physical as they’re letting them play, allowing Mitchell and Harden to flop like this is an embarrassment

If it’s the Caris Levert show for Detroit? Honestly I don’t fucking care who steps up just fucking win.

The Santurce Cangrejeros fired their coach Nelson Colon and released Malik Beasley today. #BSNPR #NBA

Just learned that my favorite restaurant in PR is being sold. If you are coming down try to get a reservation at Reina Mora in Aguada. All local, fresh ingredients and the menu changes every week. Alex and Sarah are amazing and will be missed. They’re relocating the business to South Carolina soon.

gg Cavs. Your trade paid off today! Next time.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cavs shooting 62% from the field and aren’t blowing out a team that has struggled to score. Detroit has a very good chance to pull this out if the shooting numbers can come close to evening out.

The SEC should realign their conference into teams with the nickname Tigers and those that don’t

If the starters and current guys can’t get it done in the third we better see Ron and B Ball.

Too much iso ball here making it easy to load up on Cade. Swing the damn ball already and get them out of position, then attack.

The Pistons own so much Cavs headspace that their free t-shirts for fans have the other team on them 🤣

I’m sorry but isn’t Cleveland a second apron team? What a horrible take.

The NBA is at crossroads with tomorrow’s Pistons v Cavaliers game: Do we allow James Harden to have one more appearance at the rodeo or do we recognize he’s completely washed? Only Tony Brothers et al will tell.

Today was officially my son’s last day of school so after all the official school ceremonies, this bus is taking the class out to the bar to go drinking 🤣 #ThisIsHowWeDoItDownInPuertoRico #HastaQueLasOlasGritenAyBendito

The Great Hardini did it again I see 🪄💫

WiFi on the plane didn’t work so I missed the entire second half. Glad to see we won 🙌 #YKTPWA

The Cavs are the softest floppers who ever flopped. Not ditching that label anytime soon with this performance.

Solid first quarter. JB should’ve challenged that Ron foul.

Damn, that’s tough. RIP Pat Caputo, a fixture of Detroit sports reporting and radio. Will never forget Gregg and Jamie trolling him with his own soundbyte for years on WDFN. #YouBlow www.detroitnews.com/story/sports...

Weird how none of the national media recognized this huge, glaring weakness before crowning Boston kings of the East all season. Meanwhile the actual #1 seed is still alive.

If you do an NBA pod and you are breaking down LAL/OKC and you don't mention this failed flopping as one of the reasons SGA didn't hit 20 pts then, sorry, you are doing it very wrong. This behavior needs to be called out until the refs stop rewarding it permanently. Players will adjust.

Is the NBA hands-down the worst major league when it comes to technology?
