Well, here we are. I’m not worried, are you? Who cares anyway? Just because the Detroit Pistons had one of the winningest seasons in franchise history. And Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren entered All-NBA conversation. The No. 1 seed? Big deal. Why should that mean your team can be the eighth-seeded Orlando Magic? The Pistons face a 2-1 deficit on the road. They are still waiting for Duren to show his face in this playoff series. Trying to keep its turnovers down before the two dozen threshold. Daniss
Jenkins has pumpkined in the playoffs, and the fan base is in existential crisis. Let’s have some fun watching playoff basketball.
