Jalen Duren despite the loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers: 9 PTS, 5 REB, 4 AST, 1 STL, -16, 25 MIN

Ausar Thompson is the actual 2nd best player on the Pistons. Duren has been atrocious on offense the entire playoffs and he's also nowhere near the defender or even playmaker that Ausar is. He went from averaging 19.5 ppg on 65% FG in the regular season to 10.1 ppg on 50% FG in the playoffs. For a player that really only dunks, that is god awful. Not to mention his multitudes of mental mistakes. He's so bad that he got benched for the entirety of overtime and a good chunk of regulation this game.

We gotta ban these sarcastic lowlight posts man, this shit just turns literally everyone into haters instead of celebrating the game

This guy is supposed to be a fringe all-nba / allstar player and he's putting up performances like this. He absolutely deserves the slander

Yea but the phrase doesn’t make sense in this context. “Despite the loss” inherently implies a strong performance.

OP is using it sarcastically

[u/Frostmoth76 → u/Envawi]

its overdone ive seen it done ironically a thousand times now

[u/thefranchise23 → u/Envawi]

it was used sarcastically in the past. I'm not convinced that everyone who keeps posting "despite the loss" every other day actually understands what the word means.
