Game 5 - Pistons@Knicks - 7:30pm ET

Ausar was phenomenal and deserves the game ball. If he could only reliably hit a FT, he would seriously be dangerous. I would be remiss not to mention Harris's great performance. Dude has been special the entire series giving up some much height and weight to KAT.

Pistons must bring enormous youthful energy to wear down Knicks in game six. Hopefully Pistons fans infuse the team with electricity and confidence.
Let's take this one and force the Knick to have to play out of their minds in game 7 to beat us.

Agreed with Ausar getting the gameball and Tobias deserving big props for how he's played all series. Special mention to Bball Paul coming up big a lot too!

If I would have said exactly 6 months ago (Oct 29th and we were 0-4 at that point to start the season with losses to Indy, Cleveland, Boston and Miami) that we'd not only make the playoffs but we'd still be playing after Miami, Orlando, and Milwaukee were all eliminated everyone here would have thought I had finally lost it... but here we are.

The whole season is surreal and the wild part of it is that Ivey has been out for the entire New Year. Of course some would say that Ivey might have disrupted chemistry but I think that's bullocks, add a talent like that to this group and this is a dangerous team. This is a team that's the perfection representation of Detroit, hard working, gritty and gets after it.
Hope Stew can go in Game 6, they likely win one of those games in Detroit if he was on KAT.

Yeah, Duren showed much better awareness in game 5. He needs to be consistent about it.

For sure. This is a good growth opportunity for him. Dude's 21 so expecting consistency already is probably unrealistic.
