  1. If anyone watched th3 Knicks thus past season, all or most of their games were close this season. I'm not taking anything from the Pistons, but this is what the Knicks do.

  2. ALL READY THE SPORTS MEDIA ARE STARTING THE BS WITH HALIBURTON AND TATUM BEING OUT SO THE KNICKS DON'T HAVE ANY COMPETITION. REMEMBER THAT THE KNICKS BEAT THE CELTICS IN THE FIRST 2 GAMES IN BOSTON WITH TATUM PLAYING, SORRY FOR THE INJURIES, BUT IT STILL A CHALLENGE IN THE EASTERN DIVISION, DETROIT PISTONS, CAV'S, MAGIC TORONTO, EVEN THE NETS, ARE GOING TO GIVE THE KNICKS A RUN FOR THE MONEY. SO LET'S JUST PLAY BASKETBALL IN THE UPCOMING SEASON. I'M JUST SAYING πŸ€”. NOT FORGETTING THE BUCKS.

  3. As a pistons fan it completely sucked when we lost but I was proud of our season and I have respect for Brunson

  4. The refs cheated us the whole series, better yet the whole year. That's why the Pistons are so good because they had to play through the tough fouls and bad calls

  5. does anybody know that Brunsons game 6 dagger got a double bang but they never show Mike Breens commentating in the highlights

  6. Game 3 backing violation with 5 sec left… This was a really fun series, a coming out for the Pistons, but in real-time I really hated how the officiating was done.
