I love how they flash a win probability % -- like tempting fate.

Ivey having one of the best games of this season tonight. Hasn't shot well from deep but he's done everything else and just 1 TO.

Can't believe we went this many games to give Ivey the ball instead of Killian. First time I can recall that they went to him consistently for a stretch.

FVV going to seal the deal and the Pistons are going to crunch time collapse on this one.

Van Vleet was a decent signing but give me Joe Harris all day

It’s time to send Ivey home.

I deeply resent that they made me sit through this game. Just put it away early so I’m not enticed into wasting my time…

Damn TO after TO down the stretch missed FTs what a sad way to end the game after being up 107 to 102.

Same old story; too many TO's and mental errors down the stretch. We just don't have the experience to close games.

Did he call bank? He almost got lucky, but that shot was a major brick.

If you give up a 10-0 run at crunch time you don’t deserve to win.

Plain and simple.

Being a fan of this team is like being in a bad relationship. You know it won’t work. You know it can’t work. But you just…want it so badly.

Ivey really had the adrenaline pumping on that final shot
