Pistons were hitting north of .500 on their threes. Once that dried up, Knicks turned up the gas. I like the Pistons' turnaround but not sure they have the grit or experience this time around.
Got it. Well, he nearly did it this time too.

Pistons completely falling apart in the 4th. Maybe the lights are too bright.
Side note, Cam Payne definitely one of the most unlikeable players in the league today. Glad he never played a minute for us.
Lebron pins the ball against the backboard and nobody knows the rules. Again.
Luka standing in the paint, guarding no one, throwing his hands up in frustration as the Wolves hit a 3![]()
He did that quite a bit during last year's playoff run as well. There were tons of clips clowning him for that .
But you still don't trade him for that package.
Luka/Lebron/Reaves lineups just can't work defensively against serious teams.
The lakers are so pathetic outside of Luka, literally raised their ceiling from lottery team to contender.
The Lakers would have been better sending Reaves as part of the package and getting Gafford and keeping Max Christie. Austin Reaves is just a duplication of Luka (much worse version).
Still think Doncic and LeBron are enough to get past Minny, but might need to change my Lakers/Rockets prediction tbh.
I wouldn't mind giving McDaniels a chance if Timberwolves decide to move him because of cap issues.
Just the player we need.
Yeah if Sochan could shoot that’s who he would be more or less. But that’s a big unrealistic if.
I’m one of the biggest Luka fans around and think he’s been arguably the second best player in the world for about 3 years now (when in shape and healthy), but man, the more weight he puts on the slower he is on defense, you really need at least 3 plus defenders out there with him at all times, and Lebron and Reaves are not that. The entire defense turns to if you don’t have that around Luka.
I'm not sure how many playoff caliber players the Lakers have. It's one game, but they are really poor other than Doncic-LeBron-Reaves.
LA is kind of the one place that might motivate Luka to get in and stay in shape, tbh (in addition to the motivation of just being blindsided by being traded in general).
the lakers. Hope they get swept for the rest of time.
We’ll see. This lakers defense is really bad.
Naz out there making himself even more money.
Wouldn’t totally shock me if he ends up just taking an offer no one else can touch from BKN, perhaps under the promise of being the man there (assuming they don’t land Flagg, in which case still could be sold as a 1-2 punch).
I don’t see that as being successful in the long run, but money talks.
, their offense is pretty bad too when Luka isn't doing his thing. Lakers are a bottom three roster in the league outside Luka and LeBron tbh.
Julius Randle lite might be a good offensive comparison for Collin Murray Boyles. Not sure if that’s a good thing yet.
Defensively he should be much better.
The Lakers were barely good with AD, but they were balanced. Got plenty of help with the easy Lakers whistle.
With Doncic they're completely unbalanced. Hayes and Len are unplayable as centers because they're so bad. Two of the three good players they have, Reaves and Luka, are awful defenders, and the third, LeBron, is extremely old. Everybody else sucks.
Three interesting games today but damn tomorrow the only thing that's gonna be worth checking is Houston/GSW.
Magic/Celtics could be sneaky good imo.
lets hope the fakers are eliminated hahahaha
Both Fakers and Kawhi losing makes my day. Tomorrow, Go Rockettes!!!
