Harris on Towns should be BBQ chicken.

I think the Knicks plan this series is to give the Pistons a false sense of confidence.

He doesn't want to sub them at all. You expect him to stagger them?
Is it me or is Harris playing tremendous defense? Never seen him like this

Sixers fans asking where was this last year against the Knicks.

Harris has to try and guard Towns and just slow him down, even a little.
Because the other option is Duren, who’d foul out in 15 minutes, he’s just not prepared for this. And we need his rebounding and lob threat, especially with Stew out.

Detroit was a good team in the 2nd half of the season. I'm not claiming they're a superstar club for they are not but their play for months now has been closer to a team that wins 50 games.

Why would anybody take Knicks seriously
It’s a laughingstock team for more than a quarter of a century
We not talking here about , Lakers Spurs Warriors Celtics hell even about likes of Nuggets Mavs or Toronto
We talking about Nix , bottom feeder for generations
Do the Knicks have any fans outside of New York?
Raptors and Nets fans love for the knicks is always impressive

Didn't you just describe the same thing? We dared your role players to beat us and they shot the lights out...for the 2nd time in 5 games against us...until they didn't.
You’re missing the nuance… the shooters are open because of this. NBA players making open shots is not some non-repeatable occurrence.
It's can they hit them at 50^ clip that's the question.

KAT threw the ball at Cade while he was on the ground, earlier he pointed right at Harris' head lol he's lucky the refs are letting it go.

If Knicks comeback from this again, they will really shake the Pistons’ confidence.

Cade has no problem scoring over Bridges. The Pistons should keep trying to get that switch early in the clock.
