I'd love to see how many of our FGA have been with less than 5sec on the shot clock?

It’s an overrated dump when people say things like this.

MSG is surprisingly intimate. It is an aging arena though.

Cade getting them superstar calls tonight

Towns has been invisible this game.

IF the refs were biased for NY why does Detroit have 2x as many free throws?

Because Knicks played like crap and fouled more. FT are not supposed to be evenly distributed.

Genuinely curious here, what makes it better?

Nothing, especially when you go there enough. It’s no louder than the TD Garden or Sixers arena. I’ve been to all 3.

People love to sensationalize New York City for some reason, it’s not that great.

Will it go the way of Boston Garden?

On another note I don't think NY can go far with minutes like this. Almost the entire starting lineup is going to be playing 42-44 minutes a game. That won't last in today's NBA given the pace and space.

No call on OG pushing Cade in the back and Hart just falls down again after a rebound.

This is where play-off experience is vital. The Knicks core has it, The Pistons don't (yet)

Win or loss, this will be an important learning curve for Cade and the young Pistons.

World Wide Wob (Perez) is right when he says these Knicks are like cockroaches who can never be killed seemingly against all odds.

You have to admire the fight in them at least

Such an ugly game, for both teams.

It feels like there are multiple Embiid clones on the floor and all of them play for the Knicks.

yes, there was contact on Cade no doubt. And Hart was definitely fouled too lol

Live long enough to see yourself become a villain.

California Gold · Post #1038 » by **California Gold** » Tue Apr 22, 2025 2:02 am

Pistons with a valiant effort but I can see how this inexperience is going to bite them again. You have to get quality shots at this point in the game. Cade is the best player in this series but he hasn’t taken that next leap yet. This will be all valuable experience for him.

Not sure. What happened to Boston Garden?

Who'll Win the Series?
