If we can't get the twin tower lineup.....Start 3toheadShamet, Bring Josh off the bench. Don't let the opposing team's staring center get the night off guarding Josh.

Totally disagree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This has us vs the Cavs two years ago type of feel to it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pistons in 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




Our best player in that series had won a series against the Jazz basically by himself and went to the WCF several months before that, their best player is going to be in the playoffs for the first time.

They are hungry, but just from a tactical standpoint we should beat them because one of their most important players cannot shoot. Ausar is their most important defensive player, and he's someone that should be defended by Mitch like other teams do to Hart. I don't know if we'll do that, but if we do they are food, they have a shakey offense in general and their defense cannot hold up without Ausar.


1st bold: tactical and thibs should never be uttered in the same sentence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2nd bold: me & u both know we won’t do that because of thibs and if he does try and that that it will be to late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which is why I continue to say pistons in 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I just can't see Brunson going out like that, even with a poor coach he's just too good to let it happen.

Knicks in 4. This ain't the regular season, this is winning time. Pistons are a bunch of scrubs.

Pistons limiting ticket sales to only Michigan and Indiana residents just in case there is a “Knicks Takeover”. We’re in their heads already

This is hilarious.

If the Orlando Magic did that against the Knicks, it wouldn't work because so many Knicks fans are residents of Florida, lol. Knicks would still have home court advantage in Orlando even if games were limited to Florida residents.

They definitely have this unearned chip on their shoulder. It’s time we introduce them to playoff basketballs. :lol: 8-) :evil:

I think it’s funny because no one is flying to Michigan. They are completely overthinking that Philly series and ignoring the physical closeness between the cities that makes it a cheap trip.

Change the address on your cc account to some random McDonald’s in Detroit and then buy the tickets

Hate to say this, idk who's gonna win the series, but I think it will be highly probable the Knicks LOSE Game 1. It's a different vibe from the Cavs and Sixers man. I honestly hate home games sometimes. Honestly wish Game 1 could have just been at Pistons home and have Game 2 and 3 at home. Pistons are gonna be YOUNG fresh legs for a playoff berth and with very little to lose. May play a little higher than their ceiling in Game 1. Knicks will probably be caught sleeping in the first quarter OR THIRD. Those late game DEFENSE chants with that music gives me extreme anxiety lol. Some scrub is also gonna have a career night. Just come out strong and knock out their confidence. Let their inexperience show.

Knicks vs Pistons 1st rd matchup thread 

Post#78 » by Zenzibar » Mon Apr 14, 2025 1:50 am

Apparently before the 1st round matchup, the Piston's Mgtmt has limited home ticket sales to certain Zip Codes.

Seems they're highly concerned by the ever growing New York fanbase crashing their home games.
If we recall Philly PSD'd from the loyal Knicks deep fanbase last year.

Fast forward to: 1:26:13
