Embarrassing loss. 21-0 run is pathetic.

Why wouldn't you challenge that? Coaches really overvalue timeouts relative to possession

This was a great game. Knicks turned the screws in the 4th.

Fun game. Knicks showed their playoff experience in the 4Q.

Anyone got the stats on when a team was last called for 3 defensive 3 seconds in a single game?

No they haven't, stop talking nonsense.


Obviously, I could be missing some of the story, but when you see a few calls that are 80%, 95% of the time called a certain way, and they're called the other way, that's usually a good clue.

Yea but are you gonna get that same game from Beasley, Harris & hardaway?? They cared the team this game.

This is what your entire playoff experience will be with this guy. 0 offense when the games matter. Nothing but iso ball and bad basketball.

Cavs fans know this all too well.

Putrid effort in the 4th by the Pistons. I don't believed they executed a single play the entire quarter.

This doesnt bode well for the Rockets who are also a very young team whose in the playoffs for the first time. Thankfully Udoka is a better coach than Bickerstaff.

This loss had nothing to do Bickerstaff. Our young guys made a ton of dumb mistakes and Duren cant defend a traffic cone

Duran gives you nothing on offense, he is missing point blank range shots. His defense and rebounding of course are good but how he never developed his offensive game despite being a few years into the league is wild.

Udoka isn't the only difference. The vets on Rockets are the leaders. The young players (Cade) are the leaders for Pistons. That makes a huge difference too.
