Playoffs Exposing Detroit’s Flaws
NBA on NBCs Reggie Miller pointed to shooting as the Detroit Pistons’ biggest playoff flaw, saying defense alone won’t carry them without a reliable second scorer. He still believes Detroit can respond at home, but called it a dice roll beyond that. On Denver Nuggets, Miller said championship DNA and a three-time MVP keep them dangerous regardless of injuries. He also backed Cooper Flagg for Rookie of the Year, noting late struggles by Kon Knueppel helped settle the debate.
