KAT's play this half is what the Knicks were thinking of when they made the Randle trade.

I thought Ausur Thompson was supposed to be an amazing defender? He’s getting smoked.

Pistons are asking for Stewart to miss the entire series. He's clearly not right with his knee.

A player that isn't injured in the post-season

There play has been a lot better in the 2nd half of the season. I'm not going to claim the East is as good as the West but Detroit was trending up while Memphis was trending. People are incorrect when they say Memphis is markedly better than Detroit.

Brunson is 2-11 so far.

Lifelong Knicks hater here. Even if one of my favorite players gets traded to the Knicks, I act like I never heard of them.

Tobias Harris is coming up huge.

The organ shouldn't just be a Madison Square Garden thing. It is so much better than what other stadiums force you to listen to.
Tom Gores' Securus faced a class action lawsuit in 2024. The company engaged in a "quid pro quo kickback scheme" with county jails in Michigan which banned in-person visits in order to maximize revenue from voice and video calls.

Of course there's no expectations and he's not on a contender. Uh oh here we go.

Cunningham really playing like it’s his first ever playoff game….like it’s his first ever basketball game ever. Hope he’s able to have a stronger second half otherwise Knicks are gonna blow this out.

I don't hate Randle and hope for him to do well in Minny but he was so bad in 2 post-seasons in NY. Just awful.
And that was a correct no-call on Brunson. Too much foul baiting so far

OG and Mitch the only Knicks who are balling. Everyone else needs to look in the mirror at halftime

Dont let the Pistons steal one of these two games because if you thought MSG had a great crowd just imagine a hyped up Detroit crowd. I remember the early 00s

It is super cool live too. Much better than pop songs.

Great D by Schroeder on Brunson. Brunson usually cooks anyone who doesn't have 4 inches of height on him but Dennis is making it tough.
