Detroit Pistons HUMILIATE New York Knicks, Defense REIGNS SUPREME | Biggest Threat In East?
Detroit Pistons dismantle the New York Knicks with a suffocating defensive display—are Cade Cunningham and company now the clear favorites in the Eastern Conference? Ku Khahil dissects the Pistons’ 118-80 rout, celebrating Ausar Thompson’s elite defense on Jalen Brunson and Daniss Jenkins’ explosive performance off the bench. With the Knicks boasting major talent but folding under Detroit’s physicality, questions loom about New York’s playoff resilience against this relentless squad.
Key storylines include the Pistons’ historic defensive stats, the implications of Dennis Jenkins securing a two-year NBA contract, and the strategic roster moves involving Dario Saric. Ku Khahil explores which teams—between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers—pose the greatest Eastern Conference threat, breaking down Boston’s potent offense and Cleveland’s new-look lineup with James Harden. Can Detroit maintain dominance, or will rivals find a way to crack the Pistons’ code?

1st Listen. Congratulations to Danis Jenkins. It's time to put the pedal to the medal. That Washington game was a joke. New York felt the wrath from that lost. This team turn around has been incredible. Let's get it. Great show Ku. Word up!!
I dont care what you say playoffs are different dont u estimate know team you will go home
Me personally I don’t the Pistons are built to beat the Celtics in a 7 game series, especially if Tatum is back. I don’t have the Pistons winning that. Cavs I think it will be very difficult but the Pistons could pull that off in 6 or 7 games.
The only threat is the Celtics
The Knicks are laughing they lost by 30 four times to the Celtics last year in the regular season um how did the playoffs turned out PLUS the pistons are playing these game like it’s game 7 and I don’t think the Knicks are
At Charlotte and Toronto before the asb is a nice test
I love the fact that the Knicks fans keep calling us little brother okay
I’m not putting any stock in that knicks win especially with them missing 3 key players I’m sorry. When they’re at full strength I’m concerned about the knicks, now especially with Trajan not doing literally anything to improve the roster at the deadline. I’m concerned about the knicks, Magic, Cavs, Hawks and Celtics if they’re at full strength. Tobias is gonna get exposed.
Are we getting Malik Beasley back or is that next year
Besides Harden's 3pt shooting threat, I'm more worried on lob threats Harden provides with Mobley and Allen. I think Donovan will take the roll of roaming around the 3pt line and let Harden create more and involve everyone on the half court offense.
Detroit Pistons versus Boston Celtics conference finals I'm calling it right now just like you should be just like in the Boston garden we got to go through them I prefer it that way anyway
I agree with the takes on how they could lose in the playoffs. That last PHX game is the worst case type scenario, with one guy playing really well and somehow everyone else hitting 40%+ on threes.
Face a hot hornets team… should be a good one…
Knicks fans took victory laps on the wizards game.. thinkin they was gonna do the same just to get their teeth kicked in and then use injuries and "wait till playoffs" etc 😂hope we face them and were healthy too!
