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

[god shammgod]

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

sham is right, just think these things in my head

easier to kick the ball on the pass generally. you'll probably just trip a guy.

22 FT's to the Knicks' 6 FT.

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

They can't but they can complain to the NBA before game 3 and get a first half of BS like Detroit got b/c the NBA IS A F'IN JOKE

[Capn'O]

Knicks are lucky to be within 8

[TKKnicks1]

Is Kat injured or Thibs thinks he sucks tonight? Only 21 minutes so far.

[K_ick_God]

I kind of dislike 0g

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.

Yeah 0g comes and goes ... some games he's basically a worse Tobias Harris

That's not what we need lol

[HerSports85]

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

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

This is true. Everyone knew he was going to come in looking to be aggressive.

[Guano]

8 points. could be a lot worse. lets see if we have some more 4th quarter magic.

an 8 point deficit against the pistons at home shouldn't require a miracle.

But here we are.

[Loaded_Hollows]

Still feels like we can win if we punch them in the mouth early in the 4th.

[Besart19]

Mitch
Towns
OG
Mikal
Brunson

He must be over his defense

Who knows what goes on in Tom's head ... but it's not a very dynamic view of the game of basketball

[TKKnicks1]

First 4 minutes of the 4th will decide this game.

[F N 11]

Rested Kat 2 big lineup?

[Ewings2ndcousin]

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

And for what? An 18 point quarter?

Pistons are 4-20 from 3pt...ice cold.

Zero reason we should be letting anyone attempt a shot in the paint.... we should be forcing them to the perimeter until they show they can hit some outside shots tonight.

[prophet_of_rage]

This is why you don't use that foul to give. Cade just gad to barrel into OG. There was nothing he could do.

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

That's true. But if you see a pass that's gonna succeed, the kick is your best play ... and you can kick a bounce pass pretty easily

Bro is hacking

[god shammgod]

as much as you guys blame thibs, the big problem offensively is that this team doesn't have guys who shoot the 3 quickly. they all need a lot of daylight outside of brunson and are hesitant a lot.
