When KAT comes back in, we need to have his man run pick & roll with Cade and try to put KAT in a tough spot on defense. Ideally Duren is catching lobs or Cade is getting to the rack.

The bad free throw shooting and a 5 second call on an inbounds to start the quarter is beyond inexcusable

Ausar Thompson gets the ball by himself under the rim alot and he waits for a defender to come for some stupid reason.

This mfer from NY ripped me off and I actually missed the first 3 minutes of the 2nd half!
Embarrass them, Pistons! Avenge me!

Cade just doesn’t have that elite level quickness or ball handling to get by guys when they press him

Is it against your religion to post anything positive, ever?

I’ll join the blockade. Later, hater.

The Knicks have more size and length inside and he’s not comfortable going straight up through it.

Again, love seeing the Garden go crazy just to pull even. If we can maintain this intensity, I don’t believe the Knicks stars can.

Let’s call their bluff.

Brunson & KAT look frazzled and it’s game 1.

Brunson is going to spend the rest of the game flopping I'm sure.

Too much hesitation around the rim.

The better/longer team won. Cade Cunningham is just not a primetime player that can score at all times. Jalen Brunson started slow but took over. Cade doesn’t have that ability

Pistons playing soft this quarter, disappointing
