really, really frazzled and sped up and forcing it on offense.
But Detroit discovered some things about how to counter that.
What did you see from the Pistons' offense in terms of like, okay, we saw what Orlando did in game one.
Here's what we're going to come out and try to counter it in game two.
Yeah, I don't want to exaggerate it.
Like the Pistons scored 99 points per 100 possessions last night.
They had a bad offensive game, partly because they're turning it over like 20 times a game.
And Durant is a big part of that.
He's in his own head.
You can see him being like, I got to do something.
I haven't compromised the defense, but let me just drive at Wendell Carter Jr.
and see what happens.
And what's happening is Wendell Carter Jr.
is just like, thanks, I'm going to take the ball and you're going to fall over and I'm going to dunk it on the other end.
But to your point about like the switching, going under and switching gum them up,
in game one and last night I was waiting to see how they would adjust and adjustment number one is exactly what you said Jalen Duren slipping so hard out of these picks sometimes not even setting them like not setting a screen at all just like getting into the area where a pick were to happen if it were to happen would happen here and then I'm out and Cade understanding that and delivering the pass early like you can't switch you don't have time to switch and you saw Duren get a he got one dunk out of it he got flagrant fouled by Wendell Carter Jr.,
And then he hit Asar Thompson for two dunks on sort of the big to big kind of passing.
You saw that.
And then you saw, like you said, Cade being like, oh, okay, but I'm Cade Cunningham.
You're going to switch Wendell Carter Jr.
