1. First

2. We got cheated tonight, plain and simple.

3. Super big props regardless, we have the deepest team in the league.

4. Thought he coached a great game

5. As a coach right before overtime I don't understand why he couldn't tell his players to not shoot threes drive to the rim get fouled because OKC is tired they played yesterday against the Knicks run your pick and rolls pass it to your big man in the post like you're helping OKC out by jacking up threes when you're not even a three-point shooting team they overall performance in overtime was just pathetic and I blame the coaching for that we could have won if they didn't just shoot threes and play smart basketball

6. JB had some dumbass moments this game.

7. SGA is so embarrassing to watch man, Pistons brand of basketball is the only reason I watch the NBA right now.

8. What Shai does is not basketball. Don't tell me its a "skill".

9. No player, I repeat, no player is good enough to shoot equal or more FT’s than an entire team.

10. We missed around 13 free throws. That’s 26 extra points if everyone would have made their FT’s. We could have won but you can’t win when you miss that many, because OKC would have essentially had to missed a lot of shots as well for us to win.

11. hey, you remember that weird travel call on paul reed after the challenge that ended up taking 1 point away from the pistons? Hmmm

12. Oh, come on 49% of SGAs points from 90% free throw shooter. Either 1.8 points per attempt if 2 point shot doesn’t fall or 2.9 if gets and one or 2.6 or 3.9 if 3 point free throws..…most efficient shot in basketball is 90% free throw shooter getting free throws. Defenders would be better off running away from him every time he touches the ball because he can’t possibly be mathematically this efficient if even left completely unguarded

13. Wha a great coach!! Our bench is outstanding!!! The players trust JB and trust that they can hang with ANYONE!!

14. nba suck, ruining the game of basketball

15. The League is gonna be against us even more after JI called them out. We're gonna have to get all our Injured Players off the treatment table, and not feel sorry for ourselves. In all my damm near 4 decades watching this Team, it's always been Detroit Vs Everybody. Find that extra fire in your belly, jump outta bed and make that big breakfast. Tackle the day. Dig deep, pull up your bootstraps and go to work. Do it for the people.

16. I don’t care how many free throws SGA got. We need to worry about converting the ones we get. And we got homered out of the gym.

17. Those refs never learned!!!!!

18. You CAN'T miss that many free throws

19. Don’t forget your dummy you cry baby

20. Sound like he finna cry

21. Pistons were called for 28 fouls while OKC were called for 24 fouls. There has to be a conspiracy! Congress must launch an investigation st once!

22. Should’ve played your main guys if you really wanted to win

23. Great game. If we hit the Free Throws we win the game. That being said the refs were shit and SGA is brutal to watch.
