Always good to monitor these non-star minutes:

Cunningham goes out of the game with 2:16 in the 3rd, Pistons 80, Knicks 78. Let's see how both teams play this stretch.

No fly zone in Detroit!!!!!

Refs should still get their eyes checked. Instead of an eye exam every 2 years like a normal personal, they should be required to take one monthly.

If not for Dolan, Thibs would probably be on the hot seat if the Knicks lose this series

I don't know what I'd do if Mikal Bridges played for my team.

Probably just complain on social media, but it would suck.

My pick of Pistons in 6 is looking pretty good right now… hoping Magic and Pistons give some physical fight to Boston and hoping Cavs dont poop their bed….

Brunson main factor in the lead balooning. Awful.

Very physical Stewart and Brunson both limping up and down the court.

Damn I hope Bruson is okay. That would suck if he's really hurt.

Knicks need to get a legit 1 man. Brunson ain't it. Miniature PG's are hard to win with it.
