When the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers meet in a high-stakes Eastern Conference Semifinals series, the intensity on the court is matched only by the passion in the stands. At a recent Game 5 showdown at Little Caesars Arena, we caught up with Pistons fans to settle one burning question: which Cavaliers player do you love to hate the most?
The choices are plenty. Superstars like Donovan Mitchell and James Harden have been making clutch play after clutch play, keeping the series razor-thin and frustrating Detroit's faithful. Then there's Max Strus, whose timely 3-pointers have a way of silencing the home crowd at just the wrong moments. Each has earned their share of boos, but only one can claim the top spot in Pistons fans' hearts—or rather, their ire.
From game-changing drives to cold-blooded shots, these Cavs have given Detroit plenty of reasons to root against them. But which player truly gets under the skin of Pistons Nation? Check out the video above to see the fan-favorite villain of this heated playoff battle.
