Playoff Kawhi is such a beauty to watch, both teams I like, so win win

Clippers for years, but my hatred towards them is starting to diminish. I’ll always appreciate Kawhi for bringing us a chip, so seeing him find some success again would be kind of cool

Once again SUPERSTAR Pascal Siakam leads his team to victory over Giannis and the bucks - it wasn't even close.

OG is my favorite Raptor since Lowry and Valanciunas. Was really bummed that we had to lose him.

There is no one on the roster right now that I can call my favorite player. Hopefully that changes with this draft - or maybe Ingram will become that guy.

Yeah same....I remember that summer where KD wanted out of Brooklyn and everyone wanted to trade OG for him....I remember i was advocating we just keep OG/Barnes and trade the rest of the players and build around both and give OG development time as the offensive go to guy while we prolly tank for draft picks....Would have been interesting if we went down that path and what we could have build around OG/Barnes by now.

hard not to root for these pistons. love gritty underdog teams that play with no fear. not phased by the garden at all

Love to see the Knicks fail LOL

Beasley would be nice on the Raptors.

Note to fans: Tobias, Hardaway and Malik is leading the Pistons, not Cade/Duren/Thompson. Take this fact however you want

Jalen Fraudson and American Bargnani are not a winning combo.

knicks getting away with some fouls

Barnes wouldn’t let the opponent go on a 19-0 run in a playoff game. Just saying.

they got f'd by the refs. typical home cooking. they did the same thing with the nuggets too. hard to play basketball when you're getting fouled and legit hacked everytime down and they're not calling anything. they'll learn and come back stronger.

Talk about the most epic treadmill team ever. All as a result of a perma-tank approach.

We had to move on from them because we couldn't beat Chicago with what, 130M future dollars? Pascal is great, love him, not a #1. He wanted to be #1 here and he just... wasn't. I'm super happy for all three, but that was that.

So we downgraded, and we're supposed to believe that was a good plan? He was having the best scoring season of his career. That was kind of daft.

So we rebuilt, loose a lot, that seemed to be the plan.

You really gotta wonder what they have even been doing the past 5 years.

Team is being led by Cade and three journeymen in Harris, Beasley and THJ. I’m happy they made the playoffs but if I’m a Pistons fan I wouldn’t be happy with the lack of young talent on the roster.

Basketball_Jones · Post #1559 » by **Basketball_Jones** » Sun Apr 20, 2025 1:22 am

Nice mix of vets the Pistons picked up I forgot they even have Schroeder. They won’t win if Cade and whatever other young guys don’t step up though.

Unless OG was guarding him. :wink:

But I post too much about OG here. I'll just quote a Knicks board poster instead.

OGs ability to play phenomenal defense all game then still have another gear in the last 10 mins astounds me
