It’s not Bridge’s fault they traded 15 picks for him. That’s a massive management blunder.

Does anyone really bother listening to Smith any more?
Recency bias on steroids.
What’s happened more than five minutes ago is old news and Smith will switch his opinion off of it.
It’s become laughable.

Detroit is missing two starters. If New York wins they are going nowhere.

It was just a matter of time for the pistons to figure it out when it comes to Jalen hiding on defense by guarding the twin

I do think Bridges is even more overrated than Haliburton

A couple of tweaks to that roster and Detroit will challenge for the east next season. Js

Pistons should be up 3-2. Got screwed in Game 4. I promise you if Ivey and Beef Stew were on the court – this series would over!

stephen a did say he wanted the knicks to draft jaden ivey on draft night

If the Knicks come out of this series, they’ll getting swept next round. But I take the Piston in 7.

Where’s all that chest thumping I heard from Stephen after the Knicks were gifted game 4?

ESPN’s Knicks bias is crazy. They got fans like Stephen A, Monica and Mike Breen doing broadcasting and media work on Knicks topics.

They have to give Bridges the ball more, so he can shoot more midrange shots. He has a good touch. Towns needs to shoot more too. They need to share the ball more.
