I’m watching this Pistons game on Peacock…my GOD these commentators are AWFUL. I mean AWFUL. The fact NBC has basketball now is a fucking travesty.

Is this supposed to be an impartial broadcast team, because they sound like hardcore Piston fans. This feels more like a Detroit broadcast than a national one. Since when do you refer to players by just their first name when calling a game?

Their approach is self admittedly much different this season after hitting a wall in playoffs.
They’re focused on long game of season and playing best basketball at end of season rather than pushing for a historic regular season.
Multiple factors went into that but primarily, they know Darius Garland out to start year is going to cost them games, so pushing hard daily for wins, might not be worth the extra strain.
Max Strus, DeAndre Hunter, and to a lesser extent, Lonzo Ball all need eased into season. They’re injured or nursing injuries, or are significantly injury prone and need rest.
Anyways, Cavs have entered post-season last (2) years with strong teams but have been out-hustled and dominated physically by the Knicks and then Pacers.
This year they’re adjusting focus….its about being fresh late and more importantly, healthy. They’re the betting favorites to win Eastern Confernece regular season. I actually think it’s a safe bet they don’t, but finally get over the hump in the playoffs bc they’re focused on playing long game.
We’ll see….

I am just not confident or trusting of Lonzo Ball... loose cannon... inconsistent
Wish Ty Jerome would not have completely shit the bed in the playoffs
Wish Okoro could have been better

Hard to really get a fix on the boys right now with the lineup changing every night and availability not consistent.

I’m OK with the start…..still working Garland back. Still without Max Strus.
A lot of mins are going to guys who won’t be in rotation come back half of season.
I mentioned it earlier this year, but no need to evaluate them now. They aren’t attacking the regular season like they have in past.

I'm still hoping they are going to sell out and try to win this NBA Cup though. They can rest guys after that but it would be cool to win that one time anyway.
