Everything about Payne is ugly.

His face, his shot, his dancing is all ugly!

Payne is such a playoff performer. I’m glad we’re seeing him right now.

Man, I've only been peeking in from time to time, but from what I've seen, it's looked like the league 100% decided who was going to win this one. Interesting that it's the same lead ref from the last game I watched in which the league picked the winner beforehand.

Knicks lost a lot of interior defense & rim protection, really concerning

Pistons giving "one year away" vibes. Too young and green for the big lights?

No surprise Detroit folding under the pressure. They’re new to this

Cade is shook right now. Doesnt help that he really doesnt have the explosiveness to blow by his defenders.
