JB must be in on the fix. Ausar Thompson 22 minutes is CRAZY. He’s the 2nd best player, a defensive superstar.
Ku, first let me say that I wholeheartedly agree with you that the team is better with Ausar on the floor and he should be in there to help finish most games. However, using the stats the way you did to show his impact is a little disingenuous. Ausar is a starter and when he goes out we usually go to bench lineups. Of course the defense and offense look worse, it’s the second team out there. I’m not saying he doesn’t have an impact at all, it may just not be as significant as the numbers you present indicate being first vs second unit. Additionally, Stew has been out the last 3 games and he is the defensive anchor to that second unit when Ausar sits, so that is going to have a massive part in the swing as well.
Does Cade need to be better? Yes but please for the love of god tell me another player that has to do as much as him for his team other than Giannis or Jokic. You, idiots, are getting a legit 2-way ball player and he is the ONLY focal point of the Knick's defense along with being very high usg with no second option. People crying turnovers but they don't realize that when Brunson went 1 v 5 the other day he had like 7 turnovers. This is what Cade's dealing with every game, who the fuck else is gonna create? Please tell me you fucking basketball Einsteins. Absolutely no one has to do so much with so little. His second leading scorer is Dennis Schroeder in these playoffs you 🤡
Sucks to be a pistons fan right now. Great to be a Knicks fan tho!
This why Ivey is so important to this team & secondary creation .W also have to Keep Schroeder on this team.
How do yall think yall would do if Ivey was here rn
Well the piston did come and win three games from orlando back in eighty nine and ninety
apparently you didnt watch the game- turn overs, missed 3"s, missed lay ups ect…. the no call foul has nothing to do how this team played!!!!
YOU LOST 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
pistons play football all game. Refs give KAT four quick fouls and changed the game. Refs blundered the ending of game three in favor of the pistons. piston fans mad over one call. irony and funny honestly. werent the pistons the ones that wanted it physical. Werent they the ones that talked so much trash. haha
It ain’t over dude. 1 game at a time. Win in NY – back home it is a series again.
"Knicks in 5, teams this young who have never been in the playoffs before always get smoked in the first round and it's fine." — people who know ball
(It me, I'm people.)
hahahahahahahahah keeep crying badddd boyssss
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 cry baby boys not the baaaad boys
U ARE A CLOWN WHAT ABOUT GAME 3 WHEN DETROIT GOT THE BALL AFTER BRUSON MISSE FREE THROW , STOP CRYING ABOUT IT
BRO TIMMY FLOPPED
BRO TIMMY FLOPPED
Amen has been playing 10 more minutes per game than Ausar all season. I'm hoping his minutes go up to 30 next year. Schroder on Brunson the last 5 minutes was not optimizing their chances
I know he's a great player, BUT I REALLY DISLIKE BRUNSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALSO, the Pistons had no business losing this game and the one before!
The calls brunson got in game 1 he jumped into contact THJ is contacted before he even leaves the ground.
Pistons had every opportunity to win the first 4 games. Inexperience showed in every game. Frustrating calls happened but relying on that to win a game is a recipe for failure every time. It's an opportunity to learn and grow. Use it as fuel and run it back next year.
The Pistons got screwed by 1) the Pistons 2) the refs 3) Brunson and 4) Towns. It's ugly to watch a team conspire against itself.
Cade had a great game, except for the turnovers. I don't know how to practice not making turnovers. Does Isiah need to help him tighten up his handles? Cade still dribbles into a crowd too much, even though he has cut that down a bit. I'm so envious of Brunson, because he has a dynamic scorer in Towns. Without Ivey, there is nowhere near a 2nd player of Towns's talent. I no longer like Towns nor Brunson, but we were way off base calling them soft. We have to now eat that humble pie. Cade has started his legacy as a great player.
Stop crying 😂 I thought u guys was bad boy pistons physicality right well newyork brought it to your ass hold that son!
It’s okay man your star just isn’t a superstar yet which is why he keeps choking in the clutch. That will always make the difference in a series. Kat and Jalen are superstars which is why at the end of the game those shots were falling. BUT I do believe Cade will be a superstar, just gotta go through the fire sometimes to get better for next time. Hell of a team though reminds me of our team last year, very tough but not enough skill and experience yet.
Pistons had an 11 point lead with 8 minutes, and couldn’t finish. To blame the refs is a bad look. You guys wanted it physical.. Hart was fouled on the dunk end of game 2 that wasn’t called. Who cares
@3:11 After They foul Josh Hart scream that at the top of your lungs too you salty lil crybaby 🤣
You talk about the Pistons getting the offensive rebound late to get Hardaway that last shot, but overlooked Harris grabbing Hart in order for ya'll to get the ball…Cunningham, candy yams, a can of spam… KNICKS IN FIVE!!
Cry more. Watch the third quarter and come back to me when you reflect on why the game was even close
it been pointed out multiple tines in the comments Harris clearly grabbed Harts arm during the scramble for the rebound.. yet i haven't seen any Piaton fans here acknowledge that..
Good news y'all: they lost Duren's minutes by 17, and somehow still only lost the game by one!
Plenty of low-hanging fruit in terms of fixing this gratuitously flawed roster going forward.
The only reason this series is close is because the refs allowing a less talented team to hack the knicks. Thompson Duren, and Harris should be fouled out by half time
knicks fans suck
Mannnn shut up… you telling me… you totally missed Harris stepping out of bounds and pushing Josh Hart with two hands in the same play with Timmy foul????
Im sorry but Ausar is ass. Averaging 3 TOs in 20 mins in the play offs…GTFO
Pistons need to punt Ausar to the moon. He is Killian Hayes with better defensive.
I’m done with Ausar. He’s got the offensive ability of a 8th grader. Need Ivey back bad to see what we have.
Kat made some tough shots…hats off to the knicks…our superstar disappears when it matters most…never seen Kobe or Jordan lose 10 point leads in the fourth…seen Cade do it twice in a row now
Pistons screwed themselves, acting up all though and making it a brawl the reason why reffs are not calling fouls.
This series has made it clear that Bickerstaff isn't the long term coach for this team. Holland hasn't played in the second half for 3 of these 4 games, Pistons have given up a 4th quarter run in all 3 of those. There's plenty of other decisions, Duren being the inbounder at the end of game 3. etc. In fairness to JB, Cade's turnovers and inability to remain consistent in the clutch, Beasley's horrible shooting performance, etc. are all out of his hands. I'm not blaming JB for that, still, keep him here to develop this core another year and then find a coach that's capable of bringing a team to a championship.
Pistons lost this game on their own… They had way to many blunders and can't close games out.
Stop crying either way this season ends for you pistons you got the kind of series's you asked for physical style of basketball 🏀 their's always next year but for all calls the Referees didn't make you still had a chance to win and you didn't don't blow a gasket that the way the ball bounces sometimes 😊😊😊
