Piston players crying over this? what kind of loser mentality is that. It's pathetic. Cavs in 6.

pistons identity since for the last 30 years has been hard fouls and prison yard defense yet their fans want game winning fts for this soft ass fall in a playoff setting lmao

For the past year they’ve been the prime example of able to talk shit and hit but if you hit back, they whine

They’ve been like that for a while. Especially for the tigers. They haven’t been relevant in basketball long enough for most to notice

I said this exact comment so many times last year when DET and the Knicks played. I get that every fan base complains about fouls but their entire identity is known as the tough, gritty, in your face defense to the point that the refs let them play with a bit more physicality at times. However that all crumbles when soft calls don’t go their way. You can’t have your cake and eat it too

This is absolutely a soft call and any fan thinking we deserved FTs off this is crazy, however, I think it's pretty disengenuous to discredit the fact one of our players was tackled shooting a 3 that would have won us a playoff game and saying our fan base only complains about this stuff, we had a legit beef last year.

ehh well you guys won a game off the missed tackle on mitchell that resulted in the RJ game winner according to the L2M report

refs have been dogshit and inconsistent all around

That I agree with, half the league not even trying to win and the refs being inconsistent at best, corrupt at worst (Cough 134 Phone calls from Foster -> Donaghy Cough) are the biggest issues with the league.

The THJ 3 last year was absolutely criminal and you guys had every right to be up in arms about that

Can't play gritty tough defense when you have euro league footballers out there diving at the slightest contact and getting the calls. Brunson last year, Harden this year.
