2 really dumb turnovers on fastbreak thus far. At this point the Pistons should consider slowing the game way down since point off turnovers have been killing them.

If Cade is getting superstar calls it’s over for NY.

Hart fouled him the entire possession before the shot anyway. No knick can guard cade single coverage

I mean, the result is fine, but this is really weird basketball for Detroit. 3 assists, 9 turnovers. Sloppy stuff. But solid otherwise.

Something really great about MSG in the playoffs. The intensity is just hard to match in other places. Here's hoping Pistons fans come out hard in Little Ceasars.

Doesn’t look good. He was hobbling during game one.

He usually does, but he just got our full rotation healthy for the first time all season a couple weeks ago, so I think he's still experimenting a little.

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.

NBA put the fix in. No FTs for the Knicks all half is insane at home no matter how you slice it

Still think the Knicks figure it out and win tonight but it’s so frustrating to watch us have the same exact issues that we had in game 1 of the season…. we don’t cross half court until there’s 16-17sec left on the shot clock, we don’t start any action until there’s about 10-12sec left on the shot clock, the ball touches 2(maybe3) sets of hands, and we end up taking a tough contested shot with 2sec left on the shot clock
This roster is too talented for that BS

Problem with Pistons is they have one gear. Knicks are turning it up a bit. Pistons don't know how to match it. This is what happened game 1, and we're seeing that again.

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.
Easy there buddy, they play in the east. I don't think we're allowed to give them the love they deserve. It's like a law or something
