I think Brunson gave him a push before he got the ball in his hand. So he wasn't technically shooting on the foul.

They reviewed for both clear path and for a possible flagarant since Brunson didn't really make a play on the ball just a slight shove to a player in the air which can be dangerous but it wasn't much of a shove just enough to throw him off. Ended up working on well for the Knicks to be with him missing both.

This isn't just because I'm a Knicks fan but I despise allowing players to call timeouts when they are lying down. Teams shouldn't be allowed to call a timeout if they aren't standing up.

Yeah, we're going to have to put them away. We can't wait for them to drop the ball.

Yup, Detroit has now played NY almost 7 quarters in the playoffs. The difference between the two teams has been negligible. No reason to bank on Detroit s*&^ing their pants again.

Well... so far they are winning it.

He’s trying too hard and thinks this is the regular season where every touch foul is going to get called. Doesn’t work that way in the playoffs.

Ehhh i'm not getting those vibes as of right now tbh, we should be playing through him but instead we're taking 22sec off the shot clock before we take a contested shot

Brunson needs to stop flopping and looking to foul bait, and focus on making shots & plays for his teammates.

The Knicks were playing a lot better when their offensive was running through OG when Brunson was out. I still firmly believe Brunson has not recovered fully from his ankle injury and is only about 70 percent fit (ish)

Rushing him prematurely was the worst things the Knicks could have done.

wtf is wrong with Brunson. Play like the damn best player in the game already

Thibs makes zero in game adjustments.... I appreciate everything he's done for us but he is limiting this talented roster with his unwillingness to adjust

But he's not.. the best player is Cunningham. And Cade already knows no one on New York can guard him so he's not going to stop looking to score every time he touches it.

Remember when KAT was the second best center at the beginning. You need more out of him. Where’s 30 points?

Knicks are down 15 with Pistons shooting like crap. What happens when they start making all those wide open shots?

He's not the best player tho. Cade is

Brunson is the boy who cried wolf man, just constantly trying to con the ref
