NBA Season 2024-25

[Who]

I don't think Houston will be looking to make a blockbuster trade this off-season. I believe their success this season will make them more reluctant to make a move rather than more aggressive to make a move. They will show more patience with the youth and let them develop given their success thus far.

They will be scared of making a panic trade = trading top young talents for a 30+yr old star. I don't think they will do that.

[Who]

This Pistons team looks like they play better in NY than in DET. Too much hometown pressure? No expectations on the road in MSG / NYC? Looks like it.

Pistons better wake up fast or it's 3-1 NY

[Who]

Mitchell Robinson is a wrecking ball on the offensive glass.

[Who]

Great drive by Beasley. I don't expect that from him.

[Who]

DET falling apart. Offensive struggles getting to them.

[Who]

For as badly as they have played, DET are only down 8.

Mikal Bridges horrid shooting display has given them a helping hand. Only 1-8 FGA. Helped make up for all those DET turnovers in the first half. They are in double digit turnovers already.

Announcers said it was an 11-2 run by DET to get the lead down to 7. So it was 16 before that. 16 is what is should have been. Bad job by Knicks closing the half. They had DET on the ropes. Now they have given them life & a way back into the game.

Cunningham is what Ben Simmons was advertised to be: a big, physical PG who can do just about anything.

[Who]

That Brunson fall is worrying. Never like seeing a guy drag himself along the floor off the court onto the sidelines. Before the timeout was even called. He just couldn't go.

Hopefully, it is just a brief pain and not something that will rule him out for the series. That would be a massive blow for the Knicks.

[kraidstar]

Brunson is possibly injured; if the Knicks are screwed and Lakers lose today Adam Silver will be seeing his life flash before his eyes.

[Who]

Jeez. Towns helped Brunson stand up and Brunson immediately collapsed back to the ground when he tried to walk on that foot. He managed better at the 2nd attempt but that is a bad sign.

[kraidstar]

That was an awkward fall by Brunson. His leg and knee were positioned at an odd angle where there is not much support. Could be a ligament strain/tear.

[Who]

I don't like this lineup for NY. It is tiny.

A small two PG backcourt with Cam Payne & McBride. Then they have an average sized SG playing SF in Hart. Then a wing player in Mikal Bridges playing PF. Mitchell Robinson is the only guy with legit size.

They have no rebounding outside of Hart 1-4. They are undersized defensively at all 4 positions.

[Phantom255x]

Hope Brunson is okay, that looked bad

Also it really is a game of runs. 25-11 by DET in the 3rd so far

[kraidstar]

Jeez. Towns helped Brunson stand up and Brunson immediately collapsed back to the ground when he tried to walk on that foot. He managed better at the 2nd attempt but that is a bad sign.

Yeah good chance he's done. Unless it's one of those times you tweak something and it feels really weird but turns out to be a false alarm.
