8th Ave to 8 Mile. The Official (3) New York Knicks vs (6) Detroit Pistons 2025 First Round Playoffs Thread

[OsO]

Brunson can be neutralized by bigger defenders, and KAT hasn't shown he can be consistently dominant.

Cade is the best player in this series, and Detroit plays tough.

This is going to be a war.

Besides that 21-0 run, the Pistons have controlled this series

Knicks have the firepower to be better, but Brunson hero ball is never going to cut it in the playoffs

Don't get emotionally involved fellas... it's better that way

when are you going to keep it real with Thibs cuz he's the main issue

The Knicks had the opportunity to win the game. When will y’all learn that coaches don’t play.

Everyone gets blamed but the guy we traded 5 picks for.

At this point I don’t give a fukk nikkas really blaming Brunson too

He deserves smoke too. There’s better ways to play than Brunson iso hero ball. “B-but they almost won Brunson had 37!”

That’s not the point.

But yet again National media is blaming KAT which is lazy. Brunson was a ball hog. Pass him the ball.

There was a possession in the 4th where KAT demanded the ball in the post. Hart picked up his dribble and passed to Brunson who dribbled the air out the ball and missed the jumper. Kat was so frustrated that he threw his arms up out of bounce and wasn't in position for an offensive rebound.

KAT was frustrated with Brunson hero ball last night

Only reason we almost won was because of Brunson

Ole swing the ball ass shyt

We would have lost by more if it weren’t for him imposing his will

Brunson ball hog style of play doesn’t allow anyone else on Knicks to get into a rhythm. Brunson needs to be more of a playmaker than scorer. He is supposed to be a PG

KAT throwing his arms up? Nicca go rebound or get your big ass in the paint and do some dirty work. This bytch ass nicca sulked and got even more timid as it got late.

The supporting cast had many shots in rhythm they did not make.

The crazy thing is you watch a ton of ball and already know deep down Thibs and Brunson hero ball is why knicks lost but you can’t accept it for a weird reason.

Get out your feelings and accept it.

it ain't lazy the problem with Kat is he doesn't have any physicality, we understand hart can't shoot but if you ever stopped standing when yo uhave a mismatch and got down in the paint and let the double come then we can have a talk but he plays with defeatist attitude and he has no motor, if they have tobias or a guard on you we should win the rebounding battle with ease, but he is at the 3 point line relaxing..

and his back down post game is weak ass hell if we are going to be honest shyt looks like a struggle

You want the coach to make players do things they aren't capable of doing, brunson isn't a playmaker and towns doesn't kill mismatches or even create doubles that will generate easy shots.. it is a flawed team, Josh hart has to play more minutes the rebounding is terrible, and then Brunson is the only one who can create his own shot while playmaking...

people don't want to admit it but you miss Julius Randle because no team can get away throwing a guard on him regardless if josh hart is on the floor or not. Towns has to make the team feel it with his presence, people can sense when you are a timid bytch

What has Thibs done well this series? What’s good about his infatuation with Josh Hart. What’s good about him playing Kat like a traditional center and having Brunson do everything like he’s 2011 Derrick rose?
