The last time the Pistons won a playoff game was against the Celtics in 2008.

Between 2003 and 2008, the Pistons went to six straight Eastern Conference Finals, two NBA Finals, and won a title. They haven't won a single playoff game since that run.

Gotta feel a bit for that fanbase at this point.

Wonder if they'll smarten up and try to offload Beal at some point.

They'd most likely need to attach picks to unload his albatross contract. Not sure if they have any left after the KD trade lol.

Booker going 5-16 for 18 pts didn’t help..

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Okogie and Little just rot away on the Phoenix bench, huh? Thought they'd both provide energy and D for that team but I guess not.

Embiid looking good early on against the Knicks.

I wanted Philly to win until I remembered that Kyle Lowry is on the team now.

Oubre on Brunson defensively. Smart.

Brunson can't bully Oubre physically the way he can Maxey.

This is fun. Philly a pleasant surprise.

Beautiful bounce pass by Hartenstein to a cutting Brunson for the layup and-one.

Ooh, what a 3 by DiVicenzo. Pushes up court. Stops hard about 4-5 feet behind the line on the wing and pulls a quick three. Bang!

Knicks getting back in this after Philly built an early lead.

Who do you guys want to win this Philly/NY series? While I think NY winning would be better for us as they’re the easier matchup in the ECF, I wouldn’t mind seeing all the exaggerated NY/Brunson hype get silenced with a Philly series win.

Philly is the better team, they should be able to pull this out. While they are a tougher matchup for us, I want us to take out some of the better teams on our playoff run instead of coasting against mediocre opponents.
