Don’t understand how we do not have hard dates for these home games yet. What is the hold up?

Anyone have an educated guess? I would guess Friday (25th) or Saturday (26th).

Last few years they release after the 1st play-in game. So tmrw night we'll know.
I'm waiting too because I'm going to game4 . I'm guessing likely Saturday 26th but could be Friday 25th too

They probably don't want to schedule everything out until they know what all the series match-ups are. We'll find out once the play-ins are over.

I'm wanting to buy tickets for game 6 but I hate to do it before the dates are announced.

Just a Guess, not yet announce.
Game 1 Sat 4/19
Game 2 Mon 4/21
Game 3 Thurs 4/24
Game 4 Sat 4/26
Game 5 Mon 4/28
Game 6 Wed 4/30
Game 7 Fri 5/2
Madison Square Garden has an event already on Saturday May 3rd so I'm guessing a Game 7 would have to be the night before

Conference Semi Finals have to start by May 5th/6th but could get moved up if some series are short, starting as early as May 3rd/4th.

That's my guess but could be off you never know which teams get two days of rest between travel and which ones don't.

2 bigs or not 2 bigs? That is the question for these playoff teams

I hope we see more minutes for Stew playing alongside Duren for short stints.

I mean, nobody went out on a limb and picked us to win, but that’s an average of 2 game wins, which is some decent respect for a rookie playoff team.

I like our chances from a pure basketball perspective, I just think we're going to get cooked by the refs.

Does anybody know if all the playoff games will be broadcast on Fan Duel/Ballys? The schedule shows ESPN, TNT, etc.

Kind of surreal watching these play-in games knowing that the Pistons have a playoff game on Saturday. I don't even really count the Blake Griffin playoff year, that was entirely unexciting.

I saw somewhere FanDuel will have the first 4 games at least.

Anyone been to Harry's Sports bar near the arena? We're looking for somewhere to go pregame Game3.
Any other suggestions would be welcome as well

You can buy tickets with the rest of us next season when you're the 51st state :P


Lol nahhhh, we staying Canada strong baby.
But I guess until today at 10am it's just restricted to mostly Michigan residents. Thats good. We need all die hards in that arena to smoke the knicks. Don't want no NewYorkers or Raptors fans from Canada so I'm good with that. Hopefully I can get a seat at 10am.
I was pulling the trigger on 3 seats in lower bowl too. Expensive but whatever. Now I'll be likely sitting up near the roof lmao cause those will be gone


Hopefully it's cool for me to comment before the series has started and any bad blood has been incurred, but I'm not sure you guys need to worry about us taking over your arena. We travel extremely well along the east coast...Philly, Miami, Charlotte, Atlanta, etc. often turn into MSG south...but as a Chicago-based Knicks fan who's seen them play in Milwaukee, Chicago, and went down to Indianapolis last spring; we don't travel nearly as well in the midwest.

Anyways, been a really fun season for both teams and hopefully this series delivers us some great basketball with no more injuries to either team. Regardless of how this series goes, I really like what you've got brewing around Cade and Knicks-Pistons games should be a lot of fun for the forseeable future!

I'll lose my mind if any of them are blacked out in my area.

Yes, it's happened before.

“I’ve always picked my vets’ brains since my rookie year,” Cunningham said of leaning on Tobias Harris, Tim Hardaway Jr., Malik Beasley, Dennis Schroder and Paul Reed – who take a combined 240 games of playoff experience into the postseason with them – for an idea of what to expect. “There’s been conversations throughout my career, hearing stories about the craziest things that have happened. It’s all good. I think I’ve learned a lot from that, but experience is the greatest teacher. I’m excited to be out there.”
