  3. Pistons: No reliable 2nd scorer and ball handler. This is a recipe for a bad playoff team.

  5. One side of me. “Woohoo were going to get an 8 over 1 upset”

    The other side of me remembering Orlando winning 3 consecutive Opening round game 1s from 2012-2020 and losing all the series in 5 games.

  6. Glad the magic got the shot over us, they are peaking at the right time and they genuinely match up with the pistons so much better than the hornets.

  7. Magic are about to blow up like 90% of peoples playoff brackets if they keep this up

  8. JB Bickerstaff is not a good playoff coach. Just ask Cavs fans. This series is going to be way closer than anticipated. His teams almost always look woefully unprepared.

  9. The Magic somehow beating the Pistons would be the funniest outcome of the first round

  10. 11 straight home losses… will Pistons fans ever get to see their team win a playoff game?

  12. I don’t care what sport, or what league. I’m taking Game 1 Orlando over everyone

  13. A few weeks ago Bill Simmons said he would never pay a center who wasn’t Jokic/Wemby/Embiid (pre injury) level anything more than the MLE or something

    Seeing the way guys like Sengun and Duren played this weekend I can see why 💀

  14. Losing a playoff game at home as the 1 seed vs a team that in the last week has lost to the Sixers without Embiid and the Maine Red Claws lol

  17. If I’m Cade, I’m just doing a Gilbert Arenas/Ja Morant in that Pistons locker room after that game ngl

  18. Lol Tobias 1/7 from 3, mostly wide open. Just getting a taste of what Philly fans felt for years, Detroit. Still can’t believe I saw loads of Detroit media and fans saying that he was a good player, dude sucks.

  20. Third straight year of Paolo being a playoff riser, we gotta stop doubting this man

  21. Suggs is so important to the Magic’s success hope he can stay healthy but damn they need to get Cade some shooters

  26. The Entire NBA World: We want Charlotte vs Detroit!

    The Magic: And I took that personally

  27. Magic just shocked the world 

    Paolo,  Wagner definitely heard all the trash talking about being swept 

    Detroit better figure it out for the next game 

  28. Magic are not beating the “dodging the Celtics” allegations with how they’ve played the last two games.

  29. I feel genuinely good for Magic fans. Can’t imagine how they felt this regular season.

  31. Game 1 overreaction, but this game is exactly why teams like the pistons struggle in the playoffs.

    They cannot shoot, so they win their games by dominating transition and paint points. In the playoffs, everything slows down and the court gets smaller, so you can limit their effectiveness.

    This is one of the same reasons why the lob city clippers struggled every playoffs and never won anything.

  34. DID THE ORLANDO MAGIC PURPOSELY LOSE AND LOOK LIKE A BUNCH OF IDIOTS VERSUS CELTICS AND SIXERS TO BEAT THE PISTONS?

    LMFAO FRAUD ALERTTT

  35. Maybe I’m just crazy, but that game wasn’t even close. Maybe it wasn’t a 20 point blowout, but it may as well have been. Orlando was in total control.

  36. lol the last few minutes the Pistons crowd sounded like they were being tortured after every Magic make or Pistons miss

  37. The crazy thing is that this might be sustainable. Both teams are ass from three and Orland only shot 29%
