Playoff drought snapped! Winning this game on the road when the three ball completely abandoned you is huge. Also wonder if JB discovered something here. Nobody is stopping Brunson’s flopping, but maybe more minutes with Schroeder harassing him so Ausar can work his off-ball roaming, stealing, and disruptive help defense without fouling out. Worth trying.

Hinch is a genius. Using our #6 SP against a tired SD team. Now we have Flaherty and Olson on an extra day rest. We need Flaherty to give us 7 innings tomorrow.

This team feels different because its achievements have been earned instead of bought — compared to other versions of this team. And disparaging the previous versions of this team when it was playing at a high level as being “bought“ isn’t truly fair but still that’s what it feels like. We expected those previous teams to win. Until August last year, no one expected this team to win and when it’s still winning now, it feels really special.

The last time they won was when my wife and I finally got a chance to get away just the two of us, after we had kids. My oldest was 7. This was for our 10th wedding anniversary and we went to south haven. I remember watching the Celtics series. I got tickets Thursday, nose bleeds, for my son and I. He’s now 24. He’s had a rough couple of weeks between a breakup and totaled car. I’m glad I was able to perk him up. It’s only money.

congrats to the next sec def

Even with an offseason Jose Quintana or Chris Sale trade the guys you get could flop out or underperform. Go for the World Series. Take the comp pick if we're unable to extend him.

I can't remember whether I read this at the time, but even in a feature sympathetic to its subject, Mario still comes off as the problem in that pairing.

Impemba had no style, but I don't watch games to hear an announcer promote himself or try to be funny. Like you said, I didn't know he was there and that was fine. The radio guy needs some style. The TV guy needs to stay out of the way of the action.

The series is a prequel to Rogue One which is a prequel to the original Star Wars. You don't need to watch the movies.

Granted most non Knicks fans probably are rooting against them so they may be biased but if you look on social media its amazing how many people you will see that aren't pistons fans talking about how favorable the officiating has been for the Knicks.

KAT in the 4th: 0 points. 0 shots. 2 rebounds. never change you big pussy.

Another wide open three missed. A Knick fell down so must be a foul. Give them free throws.

I enjoy this team over the 2012-14 teams. A more enjoyable brand of baseball.

another bull**** call. refs know the assignment.

Brunson make me want to hate the NBA

i have a feeling brunson is going to punch schroeder in the face at some point. which will suck when they call the foul on schroeder.

As I've said before, the Catholics may very well be an early target of the authoritarian regime.

I’m here to say this for today: I am very pleased to see RFK, Jr. ‘s move today to ban 8 food dyes. Thumbs up. This should have been pursued & done 20+ years ago. So, there it is. A positive review for one thing done by someone in this current administration.

Or it could be that MTG was testing the waters, to see how far she could go. If too many people object, she'll call us snowflakes all while claiming she was talking about something/someone else.

Opus Dei. That is the scary sect.

harris deserves credit for playing physical with kat, but he didnt stop him at all in game 1. the reason kat didnt score on him in game 2 is because kat is a pussy and refuses to post up and brunson refuses to pass him the ball. brunson has to play hero ball. people get on thibs for not "calling plays for kat," but i suspect much of the late game nba game is more about players with the ball in their hands deciding what to do with it rather than the coach yelling from the sideline. brunson was really pissed at ausar and schroeder that game. he was going to play hero ball against them no matter what thibs is saying. and kat being the pansy he is isnt going to demand the ball. he'll be 10 feet behind brunson saying "yeah! yeah! you get em jalen!"

Harris was abused on defense in game 1 while completely disappearing on offense in the 2nd half. Not only did KAT score on him, he was a big reason the Knicks ran the layup line on Detroit in the 4th quarters. A little unfair to Harris since he shouldn't have to basically play center on defense. KAT didn't get the ball last night, so we don't know if Harris played good defense on him or not. He absolutely was better at controlling the paint though and deserves a lot of credit for that. But I can't get over the play where Brunson switched onto Harris. Tobias held the ball for a good 5 seconds, then shot a 20-foot fade away jumper. He has 6+ inches and 50 pounds on Brunson and he cant back him down? That was such a KAT move.

Would keeping him and winning the World Series be enough compensation?

I love that they showed the Paul Pierce clip wheelchair incident afterwards.

Carpenter is back in the lineup for tonight That heavy gust of wind that you just felt was the entirety of the fandom no longer holding their breaths

What is their incentive to give truthful and accurate numbers? Who will stop them if they choose to fraudulently report?

from jeiii on the knicks: "knicks were frustrated by the lack of calls in the first half." lol wut?

The blacker and whiter it gets, the closer we get to openly rounding up and disappearing entire groups of people in plain view of everyone else, who will comment about what’s happening before their eyes at their peril.

Thats great Rob. Top Dad honors.

BTW in early September if you were told 2 Detroit teams would win playoff games in the next calendar year how many people would've guessed it would be the Tigers and Pistons?

Well stated. Pedigree talent and a roster with some 1st and 2nd rounders. We were impatient and probably cynical about anything Avila touched. Now we have a young and talented group who are very likable and fun to watch.

Damn it. Game 7 is May 3rd. We are going to be in Louisville that day. Pistons better wrap this up in 6.

Just bought our tickets for Thursday.

You’re kidding me right? That’s an offensive foul.

Here come the refs. You’re not getting a call for the rest of the game.

Reed looks like Rasheed

SWIIIIIIING AND A MISS! HE GOT HIM ON STRIKES!

refs - seeing the knicks down big - start calling bs fouls early.

Those hard traps are coming in the fourth. You know Tibbs is going to bring the heat on him. Someone else is going to need to step up.

I never really noticed the dirt strip leading to the mound but now I really notice when it’s not there.

Reed taketh and Reed giveth away.

NPR is reporting they are looking to replace and there is this I see speculation that the Senator from Iowa Joni Ernst is a leading candidate. Not sure if that means a special election or its some the govenor or wilbur the pig get to pick situation. Or, if its whoever is projected by the moonbeams onto the sacred parchment.

The Times is somehow worse..... like, anyone notice how the end of the line on the right is lower than the end on the left?
