Probably just complain on social media, but it would suck.

Brooklyn was genius with that trade. Bridges is a solid player but he wasnt worth what the Knicks gave up. Dont let the Nets get Flagg because then they'll be off and running with their rebuild.

Some guys just get by on their reputation, it's insane. If he was still on the Nets and nobody watched him people would be still singing his praises and he'd scam his way to another massive contract.

Schroeder's playing Brunson as well as I've seen anyone Brunson's own size play him.

Stew probably shouldn’t be playing.

Brunson shouldn’t either, based on the results.

Dennis the menace. Underrated defender. Dude can really put the clamps on players at times.

Is Brunson injured?

Bridges so passive and nonchalant at home with playoff intensity crowd. Pretty sad

How could you see how scared he was in that Phoenix/Dallas series and how much he shrunk, and want to give him a lot of money.

He's the king of great games on a Tuesday in January.

Does Stewart have any actual basketball skills? Or is he only good instigating? How do Pistons fans feel about the guy? You like him for defending your players and all sure but does be bring anything basketball wise to the court?

Cunningham goes out of the game with 2:16 in the 3rd, Pistons 80, Knicks 78. Let's see how both teams play this stretch.

Pistons 91, Knicks 83. END OF 3Q.

New York, you suck and will lose this game (and series?) if this kind of effort continues.

I am honestly shocked at how easy Detroit is blowing by the knicks players. Results of playing too much in the regular season?

Its not good if Thibs has deemed Towns unplayable at times because his defense is so bad. He gets paid too much for that.

tmorgan · Post #393 » by **tmorgan** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 12:16 am

I hope Duren can play most of the 4th without fouling and playing bad defense. Stewart is messed up.

Pistons win that 3rd Quarter: 36-26.

Love the spirit of this Pistons team.

No one should be surprised when the Pistons win this series

Brunson really gonna regret not taking the bag. He's a mid tier all-star on a mid playoff team...get your money young man

mademan · Post #398 » by **mademan** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 12:18 am

And man do the Knicks miss IH. Their defense is garbage with Towns

Knicks were making smart trades until this one. Got fleeced by their cross town rival.
