At least defense picked up and game feels more like a playoff game. More intensity from the players and the fans. KAT was terrible so him sitting and Mitch coming in has certainly helped our defense

22 FT's to the Knicks' 6 FT.

How can a team win when the game is being called that lopsided?

Cade took him upon himself to go get this game tonight. Can't even hate. 3 masterful quarters.

OG needs to be fed and Brunson has to be a better quarterback.

If we win this game it’s quite embarrassing for the pistons. Their team is awful. We’re just playing such a bad game and shooting terribly.

I have a question while we wait for the final thrilling period ... I've thought of this before in my head ;)

If you know your man has you beat, why not just kick the ball? It's just side out of bounds, no penalty unless they can T you up

They won't T you up though ... so kicking the ball seems like an unsportsmanlike safety valve ... kind of a flaw in the rules. If you are about to give up a score, kick at the dribble somehow lol

sham is right, just think these things in my head

That JB basket should have been an OG corner three. Brunson needs to be a bit more aware of his teammates

Don't know how much gas JB has in the tank, Thibs really rode him in the 3rd.

Does Cam Payne have another run in him?! This is pretty much identical from last game heading into the 4th.

I can hate on Thibs not trying to get the ball out of his hand.

Was that a kickball on OG? It looked like he tipped it and Cade kicked it. The shotclock resetting killed us there

I'm watching on the TNT OT above the backboard angle on the NBA app though

Now we have to rely on another bail out 4th quarter again. Smdh

Terrible play

a lot of guys on the team have weird energy. like OG at times is a demon and looks full of energy. other times he looks like he's sleep walking around out there and disengaged. to some extent brunson does it too where he just labors around and slow walks the ball up etc. bridges always kind of looks asleep lol

want to see guys looking pissed and rallying each other to give more effort. guys look like they're millionaires that don't care and going through the motions far too often.

A bit is generous

It feels like he's addicted to the cheer and not thinking out there ... but, fatigue def makes you more selfish out there
