The regular season record speaks for itself. We are just not fighting. I would normally say we have enough talent but our talent is flowed and we don’t have the toughness. Detroit in 6

I think we have a good chance to beat the Pistons but it might be tough. Wouldn’t be surprised to see it go to 6 games

I got Knicks in 6. Pistons have no playoff experience. Once Brunson gets back to form, they're toast.

They have playoff experience, but all their vets are mid

Tobias Harris
Tim Hardaway Jr
Dennis Schroder
Malik Beasley

We should beat them even in spite of our coaching.

I refuse to believe that Thibs is too incompetent to still coach. If he has gotten complacent with his career and has no sense of urgency to maximize his legacy, then it will become apparent against the Pistons.

My concern would be if this team is like the '01 Knicks facing Vince Carter's Raptors. Knicks had the better squad but Raptors had the best player in the series surrounded by a bunch of random vets.

I got Knicks in 5

Brunson > Cade. Knicks got the better squad and the best player.

Brunson is better, but he's not in mid-season form yet.

I'm not gonna lie, but this has to be the least hyped I have been in quite a while about the Knicks. The way they've played in the past few months has been pretty pathetic.

We need to start Robinson instead of Hart

Payne
McBride
Shamet
Hart
Achiuwa

We need to play 10 man deep rotations if we want to keep the intenisity high on both ends of the floor

Tucker for spot minutes to foul their scrubs

Thibs last chance to survive in this league

Never forget that Atlanta series in 2020...

He either becomes an Isiah for us or a Holtzman
