Knicks will win this game by 20+ points. That's my prediction. I think the Pistons won't win another game this series. I think they are toast.

The Knicks are playing their best ball of the year suddenly. I did not see this coming. I liked the Pistons going into the series.

An 11-2 Pistons run gets us within seven at the half. I haven't given up on this game yet.

As soon as Brunson returned to the floor, Pistons began shitting the bed again.

I don't think our boys shit the bed, but I've gotta give it up to both Brunson and Towns, both came up big in crunch. Yeah, Hardaway was fouled on that last shot, but to be honest, I don't know what constitutes a foul in the NBA anymore. There was a lot of foulin' goin' on.

One thing about Towns: How does he get away with that drive to the basket holding the ball on his hip and taking three steps?!?

This team is cursed. Anti-clutch Cade Cunningham failed to perform not once but twice in the closing seconds. He needs to stop trying to be the hero everytime one of these situations arises.

I think Hardaway was indeed fouled on the desperation 3 try at the buzzer. He was bumped clearly.

End of the third quarter they got cute and blew an easy 2 points. Kinda important now.

Pistons failed to score in the final 1:52 of the fourth. That is unacceptable.

I will say I was impressed by Harris grabbing that loose ball, despite being surrounded by Knicks players, and then accurately dishing it to Hardaway for a final desperation shot attempt. Very impressive poise in those circumstances.

Our boys looked spent. Let's face it, they aren't ready yet for primetime.

They have no answer when Brunson and KAT are on the floor at the same time.

Credit Brunson for playing thru his injury. I wish certain Piston players would show similar toughness.

Duren played 38 minutes but had only 5 FG attempts. That's an issue.

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out 1-3 is way worse than 2-2.
There won't be a game 6 in Detroit.
