    Mitchell is going up against his hometown team next series. He’s going to bring it.

    For an athletic team, the Pistons look mighty slow in this one.

    At this point, Harden is at best a role player

    Pistons needed low probabilty stuff like Paul Reed and Tobias Harris and Marcus Sasser to have big games just to get to game 7 in both this and the previous rounds.

    Eventually that stuff runs out and you lose

    Pistons should have chased Durant last off-season (or next one) - you just can't have only one good player on offense in the playoffs. It never works and has never worked in many years.

    at least he contributed 6 assists and just 1 turnover

    he wasn’t a liability out there

    Harden will win you 2 games out of the 1st 6 and the other 4 he’ll be ok to bad…then in game 7 he’ll struggle to score double digits

    Harden helped Mitchell finally get to the Conference Finals. That trade is now automatically a win.

    I love watching playoff games at MSG, it’s the best atmosphere in the league

    so I’m looking forward to Cavs-Knicks
