GT: Pistons vs Knicks GAME 2 4/21/25 @ 7:30 pm on TNT

[mpharris36]

need OG to make his presence felt in the 2nd half

[JayTWill]

Interesting that KAT only played 14 minutes this half. Maybe he will have some extra juice in the 2nd half to push the team over the top

[Guano]

Would like to see Delon to sure up the defense

Feels like offense is the bigger problem right now

With that said delon mins wouldn't hurt

[kNicksGmen]

Pistons getting a lot of ticky tack fouls going their way meanwhile we have only 2 free throws despite being at home. I won’t say it’s all been on the refs but there were a few times where an and one or a shooting foul could have been called

Our bench giving us nothing in terms of production

yea annoying hearing the commentator say refs letting them play and it's a physical game etc yet we're not getting any calls.

[robillionaire]

At least give bridges credit he showed up in the first

[Kidknick!]

Some of the most piss poor refereeing I’ve ever seen. Should be tied at least if the refs were doing their job.

They are doing their job, controlling the series.

Aside from Mitch the bench sucks so bad

Mitch was -7 or whatever and isn't doing anything much ... a couple of boards

Listen the bench was benched ... Deuce barely missed a 3 and Payne is someone we desperately need

he's -3. same as kat. everything you say is wrong. stop speaking publicly. just say it to yourself in your head. better off that way.

Nope, he was bad. What is his use if guys can score on him? It's not even a help defense. He's well positioned but can't get a stop. Answer that and I'll concede the point. Did he give up boards? Yes. Did he close out on a 3 that went in? Yes. Was he right there for the last shot that went in? Yes. He's slow my friend. You like him does not make him good.

Be specific and we can talk it out lol.

Is he a little better than KAT on D? Yeah. So what.

He’s been benched in the playoffs before because of his atrocious defense.

[robillionaire]

Towns only played 14 mins idk if we’re trying to keep him rested for Boston or what the plan is here

[kNicksGmen]

have to expect thibs to basically play the starters the entire 2nd half.

[Guano]

Kat should take at minimun 15 shots in the 2nd half.

They have no one who can check him.

[3toheadmelo]

Tim chuckaway 0-3

And as they were saying that Brunson hit a floater over Duren who knocked him to the ground and no call. But then Cade trips and gets a shooting foul call

[Guano]

Resting his damn shooting arm too much too

We need to let him cook

It’s ok, thibs doesn’t know what the plan is either.

problem is we have no offense to get him shots. it's only letting him post up or iso which can work but slows everything down and when/if they collapse there's josh hart wide open refusing to shoot.

[GettinitDone]

Under a real championship coach, there's no way JB would be allowed to do as much iso as he has been

Just total iso, complete disregard of teammates, and makes the other 4 guys just standing around

In essence, the Thibs' plan is to have Brunson shoot every time so that Mitch can get his cariio in during the playoffs

I mean, I don't think I want to see this coaching rewarded tbh

Last JB iso on Dennis before he got to ft line, literally Mikal was like "forget it guys, we're not getting the ball this possession" on the left wing with Hart and I forget Mitch or KAT, all 3 of them packed just standing around ball watching JB

Awful

[Iron Mantis]

Refs want Thibs gone.

[Butch718]

Rose needs to do something about the bench during the offseason. The cap limits them, so he’s gonna have to get creative.

Duece has regressed so badly and he’s somehow worse when it comes to finishing around the rim. Shamet sucks. And Payne shows up once every 3 games.

That’s simply not gonna cut it.

[K_ick_God]

KAT sucks on defense but you have to hope the team can eke it out and get momentum off his offense.

Mitch shouldn't play really ... but okay I'll silence myself. Let's hope Mitch does better. I think Precious is the better option. I know it actually.
