Strange, I would have thought Grant Hill would be better at this by now. Feels like he is at best average but probably below average as a commentator.

Can we PLEASE take time to once again appreciate Tobias. It's absolutely NOT his fault that he's being tasked with defending KAT and the dude has been a rock for us. On the road, in a hostile environment, carrying around the weight of last season... and the dude shows out. Love to **** see it.

So many transition turnovers, Reed with 2 of them. I know we can't play Duren 48 minutes but damn.

Harris has been great all year and showed out well in game 1. KAT is going to cook the vast majority of PFs out there, no shame in Harris getting beat by him.

Cade with a really great first half scoring the ball and rebounding but 0 assists and 4 TOs.

Overall I think we're getting a favorable whistle from the refs.

That's what we need from Cade, play like the superstar you are. What an intense game, lots of physicality love it.

Jalen “Bobblehead” Brunson 8-)

We've played them really well for 5 out of 6 quarters.

The Knicks are going to make adjustments and get a lot more whistles in the 2nd half we're going to have to cut down on TOs and hit some threes if we're going to have a chance to win this one, even though we'd played well in the first half.

Agreed. And we have a huge FT advantage. But watching Brunson throw himself into Schroeder 3 times in a row and then get a whistle was absurd. Not that I'll be complaining too loudly about the refs. :D

Malik made a 3, shoots better than THJ, but THJ always plays more.

Pretty amazing that the Pistons are up 6 on the road with only 4 assists, the parade to the free throw line certainly helped.

He’s not as bad as Trae Young but his antics detract from the flow of a natural basketball game.
