If the Knicks move the ball they win this rather easily. You.can't hit what you can't catch. KAT has a mismatch against both Duren and Stewart. OG can take away the Cunningham post up. Their offence will be too slow if Jalen pushes the pace.

Re: First Round Matchup Set: Knicks vs Pistons
This is an important series not in a sense we are going anywhere this post season but because these teams are much or less set for the foreseeable future as they currently are and we cannot let them have our numbers!

I will say this, Bridges popping off in the playoffs changes everything. If that happens, you can throw all the predictions out the window.

There is no good reason the Knicks should lose
There is no good way to predict what Knicks team will show up
If we don't step it up we can lose the series, because Detroit will fight hard
Therefore, we'll just have to wait and see

Re: First Round Matchup Set: Knicks vs Pistons
We’ve been on the wrong side of beating a team multiple times in the regular season and then getting our butts kicked by that same team in the post season. I am legit hoping this series is that type of situation but with us being the team that gets the win in the post season.

And he probably will go off considering his next contract is due

I got the Knicks in 5. We are too talented to lose to the Pistons in a playoff series. With Mitch getting better and better every game I expect us to be able to match their physicality.
I chose Knicks in 5 too. But is Mitch getting better?
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Well good question. It is not 100% clea cut but I picture they brought him along soooo slowly to also save him up for the playoffs. I imagine he'll play many more minutes in the playoffs---like in the 25minutes range---and he should round into shape more and more. Maybe it is more a hope or wishful thinking instead of reality.

They'll definitely take one in Detroit, Knicks in 5.

Yeah he was doing that vs Embiid last year until he got hurt again. Detroit is a pretty good matchup for him with their physical bigs. Boston is another story with Porzingas and Horford able to shoot threes.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

We are not losing to a team that has Tobias Harris and Tim Hardaway Jr. as starters!

Love Cade, but KAT is the best player on the court. If we pair him with Mitch, I don't think they will be able to do much against us.

We win in 6 at the most, if we lose or go 7 something went terribly wrong.

Our best player in that series had won a series against the Jazz basically by himself and went to the WCF several months before that, their best player is going to be in the playoffs for the first time.
They are hungry, but just from a tactical standpoint we should beat them because one of their most important players cannot shoot. Ausar is their most important defensive player, and he's someone that should be defended by Mitch like other teams do to Hart. I don't know if we'll do that, but if we do they are food, they have a shakey offense in general and their defense cannot hold up without Ausar.

1st bold: tactical and thibs should never be uttered in the same sentence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd bold: me & u both know we won’t do that because of thibs and if he does try and that that it will be to late!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which is why I continue to say pistons in 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
