Pistons hold on to prevail in NY. Tough night for ex-Wolves though. Beasley goes 1 for 8 on 3's. And KAT disappears in the second half. Puts up a paltry 10/6/4 with no treys.
Detroit's length really helped them dominate tonight...shades of Wolves size advantage over LA.

Re: Playoffs discussion
That's what I said would happen. He's super inconsistent in the playoffs. His shot disappears, plays shit defense/fouls too much/gets in foul trouble, flat out throws up on himself and pees down his leg maybe little poo too when the games really matter.FNG wrote: ↑Mon Apr 21, 2025 9:14 pm Pistons hold on to prevail in NY.

Re: Playoffs discussion
KAT deserves it to be ripped...hard to figure out how a guy that talented can just disappear in the second half of a critical game. Bridges on the other hand doesn't deserve to be ripped. Yeah, he missed some shots, but he still made 8 out of 18 shots and was very good on defense.

Re: Playoffs discussion
I'm seeing Thibs being ripped more than Towns.
Brunson took 8 field goals (and 7 free throws) in the 4th quarter. He had 16 FGA and 9 FTA in the 2nd half.
Towns took 0 attempts in the 4th and only 3 attempts in the 2nd half. He was 5 - 8 in the 1st half.
I'm not absolving Towns of anything. His playoff chops are there for all to see. He's made a mess of his bed many times. But let's not forget Towns' career low in FGA came on a Thibs-led team. Towns only averaged 12 FGA in the playoffs that season, too.

Re: Playoffs discussion
Sounded like it was more Thibs design for the game.
KAT when asked what he could have done differently in the 4th: "Uh, I don't know. I was executing what we said we wanted to do."

Re: Playoffs discussion
So Thibs plan was to have KAT stand at the top of the circle and not touch the ball while Brunson played one-on-one the entire second half? Hmmm...trouble in paradise, perhaps?rapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Tue Apr 22, 2025 11:12 am Sounded like it was more Thibs design for the game.

Ant fined $50K for telling a fan "My dick bigger than yours". Aside from the unfortunate reality that this is who Ant is, I have to admit i got quite a chuckle from the video.
