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.

NY is tearing Bridges and Towns to shreds right now

...and this is just the 2nd game in the first round.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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?

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.
