Absolutely do not play Kuminga. Trade him now! If he gets injured than you are screwed losing the main piece who can be traded
Yall basing who’s the best team based Tatum possibly coming back lol what if he doesn’t come back
He will probably retire
Get Ad and fire Kerr
Golden State should’ve went all in for Lauri last year not Butler.
But that’s hindsight now, get well soon and Jimmy
Prayers up for Jimmy!!!🙏🏼❤️🩹🙏🏼 I still have faith for a playoff run, especially with him on the bench as "assistant coach"…look at BOS without Tatum.🤷🏻♀️ Then the guys can prep/gain experience for a deeper run next season WITH him!!! 💙🏀💛
Jayson Tatum could completely throw off the teams chemistry. I don’t believe he will make them better, at all until next season. How do you know he’ll play so well he will make them better? What if Brown shrinks because of Tatum coming back?
Pistons will continue to be downplayed I love it! Just wait
Either way the water are not winning the chip this yr or probably next yr just a reality check.
Can’t imagine how much better Cade would’ve been at making shots yesterday and how much higher the score would’ve been if he wasn’t injured. If he wasn’t Injured and wearing a wrist/arm brace which affected his scoring ability. I get that he felt like he had to play, and they probably wouldn’t have won without him. He was amazing at passing and playmaking. Would love to see a rematch once he’s fully healthy.
I’m guessing he will miss a game or two because his wrist looked awful after the game. So swollen and red
Aside from Brunson,where will the Knicks points come from in the playoffs? The other Knicks,as well as Jaren Jackson Jr aren't suitable no. 2 options come playoffs
Pistons take lol. What a bunch of 🤡's
These guys absolutely do not watch the Pistons on a regular basis lol. Such braindead hater takes.
JB Bickerstaff is in a Mark Jackson situation with the Pistons. If he doesn’t get to the conference finals, he’s probably getting fired for a coach. They have lined up to get them to the finals.
