Cade back to back to back horrible plays. Defence and offence. It’s pretty bad. But first playoff game. Curious to see how he’ll reply.

Breen gets way too excited for the Knicks, I know that's the team he works for but it's off-putting for these national games how much more heart he puts into Knicks plays vs other teams

He took multiple timeouts. We just sucked. Cade was bad.

Detroit’s inexperience really kicking them in the ass right now. Unforced turnovers galore

He's one of the most complete offensive bigs in the game.


It's called being a floor raising coach, but not a ceiling breaker.
