GT: Knicks vs Pistons GAME 1 4/19/25 @ 6 PM on ESPN

[pepo20]

Reasons for optimism:

1) WE WON 50 GAMES two seasons in a row! I haven't seen that in my lifetime and have been a Knicks fan since '96!
2) Brunson is probably in the top 5 playoff performers in the league.
3) It's only year one of this squad. Rome wasn't built in a day!


Knicks in 5!

Knicks in 5, max 6.

They should not get into a long series against this team. Brunson will dominate, KAT silences the haters (for this round), and the rest steps up.

Brunson's response sounds like a farewell greeting card to someone being put on a flight to colonize Mars...

Thibs getting "promoted" to desk duty confirmed.

Ariel got good seats to watch the playoff, that kid isn't playing a minute

Wright and Tucker are the only guys who could potentially enter the rotation, I think last game was a test run for Tucker seeing if he could play at all, and we're gonna see him if it's even just for 5-8 minutes a game.

If Mitch doesnt ever return back to form I’d love to see huk start for us one day. His numbers defending the rim are really encouraging.

Last year physicality was heavily in our favor because we had guys like Randle and iHart who weren’t afraid of throwing their weight around

This year more physicality benefits the other team because in most matchups we have the softer players and more easily rattled players

Physicality bothers Brunson a lot as well and the more physical they allow his defender to be can heavily impact his game

i pretty much agree with all that. we had the metal bats out early and often last season. it was maybe my favorite part of our identity. (which is why i am a thibsian maniac.)

i think i get where you're coming from with the bold but don't know how much i agree. it always looked to me that contact is an important and expected part of Brunson's game. i think he gets bothered by the lack of calls when he's getting his braids smacked around in the paint. but he's kind of a bully ball PG. he's got a post big's footwork and use of physicality.

Yah, I also disagree. I feel like people haven't watched Brunson for the first few seasons on the Knicks, when they keep saying this stuff. Like...are we seriously thinking that teams wouldn't have played Brunson physical if that was his weakness? It took the whole league 3 years on the Knicks before they figured it out? Or maybe his 32 ppg in the playoffs last year was cause teams were locking him down and he should have had 40?

Brunson has been getting played physical his whole career and he's never let it stop him. It's KAT I'm more worried about. Brunson is cold-blooded.

I mean the issues for JB is that Pistons can play him physical and with size AND athleticism.

I'm on the boat that Huka could replace Mitch if we were to package Mitch in a trade this off-season. Mitch/Mikal/Deuce for Booker.

Back to the regular scheduled programming...

Truly don't get how negative everyone is, everyone starts 0-0, defense been a lot better lately, offense is there. Guys perform better under the bright lights at the garden in the playoffs. I think OG is going to lock up Cade I really do believe he was held bad all season to be healthy for this

Healthy Mitch or not, hukporti has potential to start. I see it with him. Just worried about his long term health too.

We don’t need to fire Thibs.

Just make him Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations and let him work with Leon.

He can’t coach anymore.

The only upset I can agree with is GSW over Houston.

The intrigue of NY vs Boston is too great for Silver to negate, so along the way calls will go against Detroit.

In part because of their over-exuberance but also they're not going to bring in the revenue.

Also, I saw them play that sht way, with Schroder standing over JB and Cade's lob at the buzzard. Therefore, I don't respect their leadership.

JB, OG, Mikal, JHart, (we don't count KAT jj,) are all pros and class acts.

The NBA's powers that be, know this.

Knicks in 5.

I agree with this. This is how opposing teams feel when playing the Knicks. We got to change the narrative.
