😂 All morons in the comments.. it's the HATE that's going to prevail the Pistons to winning this series.. y'all really should know better about betting against Detroit teams with that Detroit-branded staple when they're on the rise.. 🤦 they always do well these types of situations.. even the next being FAVORED advantages the Pistons!😅.. because basically the Knicks get the pressure of expectation while the Pistons get no pressure while having the belief that they should beat the Knicks.. see if you guys didn't predict the Knicks so much they actually probably would win this series but now it's fully in the Pistons advantage and the Pistons should easily win this series in 6
🏆Rockets x Pistons🏆
If Knicks pass and play big they are good. They need to play Delon Wright here.
Pistons 6
NAH, QUENTIN GRIMES HAS TO STEP UP FOR THE KNICKS IN THE PLAYOFFS
It's all doom and gloom for The Bucks SAS and Danny??!😮 The Freak is good enough to win you a series but not this one huh!!?? Let 's go Bucks!….in 6!😎🏀👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Knicks,bricks,ticks,John wick,pistons in 6
Giannis needs to get at least 1 or 2 (at home and on the road) then wait for Dame to win it in 7
If Malike Beasley n Tobais Harris is your 2nd option in the PLAYOFFS your getting SWEPT
narrativeshould be gO Knicks
I think the Knicks was better last season before the horrible trades Leon Rose broke up Thibs team
Pistons in 6
Idc what no one say this is by far they are getting in the playoffs IF the Knick’s win this series 😂yall choke every year injury or not
Knicks in 5
Stephen “if the Celtics don’t have Porzingis they’re losing to the Mavs” A. Smith
Knicks in 4
Yes let’s ignore that Detroit never played our full roster . Knicks in 5
Danny green the only one speaking sense lol
Donovan Mitchell will choke again 😂😂😂😂 Cavs done
So Kat didn’t cook Jokic in the playoffs
Imagine going to a 7 game series with the pistons they stink😭
When did being a fan become so negative
Pistons in 5 mark my words
DET in 4.. How about that Stephen A!!
Knicks in 5
Danny Green is on meth
I don’t care if your In Town, Out of Town or Live in a Town🏠 Pistons in 5!!!!!
Minnesota trade Kat because they are broke
Do people really believe in Schroder, Stewart, and Beasley!? 😂😂😂 Knicks win, handedly
I'm a Knicks fan and I hate to say this, but I feel like the Pistons will win the series in 6 games. I don't see any grit on this team. Hope I'm wrong.
Knicks will sweep 🧹🧹🧹🧹
Lol wait til knick fans see KAT perform in the playoffs, he gonna have games where he have more fouls than pts
KAT was with the wolves for 8 years and jimmy had to take him to the playoff, he is not a franchise player, he just playing hard now cause his bags about to run out again. Then its back to no hussle house Kat
Knicks in 5 more talent more scoring more finals and playoff experience in including 2 nba champs in that roaster and you got the best player in the series Jalen Brunson don’t give me regular season this is the playoffs let’s go Knicks
Cade Cunningham, Amsterdam, Buckingham, Christmas Ham, Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Ma'am… Knicks in Five.
Jokic top 3 in 3 pointers this season n u still wanna call KAT the best shooting big lol
Danny Green confused me the whole entire show. He was answering questions backwards. Then said Giannis is good enough to win you a series, but not good enough to get the Bucks out of the first round. I'm lost.
Steven A. Quietly is a Knick hater! We beating Pistons in 5
Bucks have lethal shooters even w.out Dame… ;
Cant dismiss the young man Green
or Vet. Taurian Prince! ;
Cade in 6
Someone need to get in KAT FACE AND TELL HIM THEY CANT GARD YOU we are not going far if KAT not dominating
Cade Cunningham, Candied Yams, Thanksgiving Ham.
Knicks in 5 ✋🏾
The Knicks go as Jalen Brunson goes. If he doesn't dominate, the Knicks won't advance.
