2025 1st Round: (3) New York Knicks Vs. (6) Detroit Pistons

If I hadn't been watching, Beasley would have sent the game into OT.

 

Bickerstaff should've never benched Ausar for Shroeder. I know Brunson shook Ausar for the gamewinner but I don't think that 11-1 run happens if he doesn't get benched.

 

Not at all. Great minds think alike

 

Like the Rockets, the Pistons have a very bright future. Doesn't Giannis make perfect sense there? They play good defense, have good spacing/shooting, and can team him up with another All-Star/All-NBA player in Cade. They could trade Holland/Ivey and a ton of picks.

 

Still should be 3-3 if they didn’t get screwed out a game

 

Pause

 

Brunson is a fuking dawg! This dude running the Rockets, and we beat the Warriors 4-0.

 

I mean...yah its pretty obvious

 

Cade will be included in a trade for Giannis.

 

Too bad, Detroit deserved a Game 7.

 

Giannis being a fit on most of the Playoff teams should not come as a surprise.

 

Modern NBA, career 33% 3pt shooter, 5 for 28 in playoffs, but three is greater than two! Gotta keep shooting!

 

Pistons did well, shame it had to end like this. Couple of times now it has cost a team in the clutch when a player gets a pass and is fumbling it due to not looking and or already thinking to shoot before actually making sure to receive the pass.

 

Several teams lost big leads in the last 2-3 minutes.

Play hard til the end.

Because they all keep going for the kill shot and jacking up 3s vs attacking / using the paint …. Drives me nuts because it’s so obvious

It’s like when we get up by 12-15 and they keep jacking 3s instead of doing what built the lead - Rockets did it when they got up 27 .. DB took 2 3s then Bari took like 3 3s…those misses and giving up layups or 3s on other end = 10+ runs for other teams

 

Agreed. Why stop doing the isht that got you a 27 pt lead!!!!
When the second Unit came in . . . I kep thinking .. . WHAT THE FFFFF ARE YOU DOING!!!?!?
This is not time to get your playoff stats up!!

Shooting 3s is less taxing......you see players jacking it up because they are saving energy.

 

But the second unit?!?!?!??! They should have all the energy
but they looked like they were stuck in mud
I hope Ime lit all their *sses up!!
