Gotta play better defense than that KAT lol...

“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

The Knick’s need to play with better pace and focus on both ends. This crazy swarming defence kills energy and stagnates the offence.

It's pretty clear Detroits the better team. They're going to win this seasons in 6 games. Cade isn't going to be this bad going forward. He should be the best player on the floor. Brunson's game isn't made for the playoffs a big defender like Ausar is going to give him issues.

Pistons got so much fight in them. JBB really wants payback against the Knicks from 2 years ago.

Cam Payne has injected the Knicks with energy. He's making some big plays out there.

Pistons(like most teams nowadays) dont have a veteran pg or playmaker to get them to settle down. They're playing tight right now

Wouldn't be a JB team if they didn't let their opponent back in the 4th qt.
