Robinson completed the eighth season of his NBA career, his first with the Pistons . He provided valuable shooting and playoff experience as he played a solid role in giving Detroit its best season since 2008.
They came back from a 3-1 series deficit in the first round against the Orlando Magic and pushed the Cavaliers to seven games in the semifinals. However, they suffered a blowout loss in Game 7 as it officially ends their playoff run.
Robinson reflected on the defeat after the game, per reporter Omari Sankofa II. The veteran shooter understood that the team didn't emphasize the areas it excelled in, paving the way for them to lose in a blowout.
"I don't want to be over-reactionary having not watched it … we didn't come out with the right disposition for a Game 7 and that was apparent in all the areas we prided ourselves on this year, areas we thought we could compete with and win, we didn't win those," Robinson said.
