#1 - Pistons@Knicks - 6pm ET

[GreekAlex]

Tobias worth every penny of that contract is he drops another 20+ in the next half and we win our first playoff game since 2008.

I love seeing him be successful after the way Philly treated him.

[Cowology]

Vets (Harris & Beasley) carried us. The youth looked young. Kinda can't be too mad about that.

Question will be how JB/Cade adjust. Him attacking from top of key isn't working. We're stagnant and they are collapsing on his drives. The ball needs to move more and somebody other than Cade needs to bend the defense a little.

It would be nice to see Ron/Ausar get downhill. Find a way to push the tempo a lil and get those guys in motion.

[NYPiston]

You're being weird lol. I'm gonna foe u i can't handle this negative in the 1st half of game 1 dear lord

All that guy does is post garbage like that, he's been unsurprisingly absent all year until now. Straight to ignore he goes.

Anyway, the vets really carried the Pistons in the first half. I had a feeling that playoff basketball would be a rough introduction for the young guys so nice to have steadying presences like Harris, Beasley and THJ to help guide them through it.

This team just doesn’t look very good and shouldn’t have made the playoffs. I feel like they got in because they play so hard but are so talented deficient and have no size inside

Knicks clearly have more talent, but the game has been close the entire way we are competing hard. Getting young guys playoff experience is part of the process of gaining talent and experience and growing internally. Cade, Ausar, Duren, Stew, Holland all had a collective 0 minutes of playoff experience two hours ago they are going to continue learning as they go.... use the playoffs as a learning experience and put the work in this summer to get to where they need to be next year to host a playoff series.

[Cowology]

Hear me out guys....Tobias at the 5.

NYK is indeed bigger & longer. So **** it, go small ball and make their bigs chase us around.

[Canadafan]

I have small concerns for Stews knee. He seems a little hampered and he grimaced a few times. Fingers crossed on that

[Absolutia]

Playoff ball definitely feels different

Yes, there's a real sense of loss / reward.

[MotownMadness]

Cade having a rough time but they’re hounding him

[BadMofoPimp]

All fight in this game.

[GreekAlex]

Cade having a rough time but they’re hounding him

I have complete confidence that he’ll figure out how to recalibrate.

[Absolutia]

Maybe the Piston kids are getting a little more comfortable - maybe.

The Pistons are much more athletic overall but the Knicks are much more skilled and bigger inside.

[GreekAlex]

It’s nice seeing Madison Square Garden going crazy because the Knicks pulled even.

I love seeing the Pistons keep punching back.

[Absolutia]

Stew needs to get out of there. Not even winninng this series is worth playing on that bad of a knee.

[tmorgan]

I wish it was more of the young guys, but that’s what leadership is for. Playing solid ball overall.

[engelbert321]

5v6 against these refs man

[bstein14]

Stewart really hobbling out there crazy he is not getting checked out.

[jjaymes]

Does that hardaway dunk really not count? All the way in but snaps back out?

[joedumars1]
