Did Cunningham grow a couple of inches throughout the season? He appears way taller vs these Knicks defenders!

They better at this point cause getting literally no free throws until 17 seconds half in the half is insane.

You can tell this is the Knicks Super Bowl since this is the only round that they’ll win.

I mean, yeah, we up at half. So that’s good.

But we good a good whistle, NY shot poorly from outside, and we are still playing sloppy. It does look a lot like game one.

They just lost their poise late in Game 1 which is expected of a young team. This second half will tell us a lot of their growth and maturity— will we see an ending like G1 or will they have learned from it already.

Watching Cunningham’s play in the 1st half… i predict it’s the latter

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.


Yep. This is going to be a great series. Detroit is young but they still are a good team with feisty players. I do give New York the advantage but this will be a close series. Detroit won't go down easy.

I don't think Pistons collapse again. We'll have to win it.
