1. still in disbelief that KAT didn’t get a technical called on him for literally scoring.. going up to a player after.. getting into his chest and jawing at him in his ear.

   Feel for Piston’s fans with this clownshow shit going on while Brunson is diving better than Neymar

2. Ausar is growing every game. Still a lot to improve in his game, but this is what I was hoping a playoff appearance would do for this team.

3. I’ll say it again, the team who commited the 3rd most fouls per game in the regular season is still fouling in the playoffs. You thought they would clean it up all of a sudden?

4. Pistons losing would be bad for America.

5. Refs are calling touch fouls on both teams. Neither team can hit a shot. Just some ugly basketball right now

6. was that the worst half of basketball this playoffs (exclude the warriors/rockets games those are just rock fights pretending to be basketball)

7. What this half tells me is let KAT doodoo all over Harris every chance you get

8. Mikal, what would you say you do here?

9. This bateman commercial is played out

10. As a basketball player, how the hell do you adjust how inconsistent the refereeing has been?

    As a fan, this is frustrating as hell to watch. Both teams have been mauling each other all series, seemingly every other possession has an arbitrary amount of contact allowed.

11. If I didn’t have an emotional investment in this series, I honestly can’t say I would even be watching the playoffs. This is a lousy, boring product.

12. Honestly want to watch more Pistons basketball but glad it’ll be over tonight cuz I can’t watch this shit anymore. Wish we were playing the Pacers or Cleveland. Two small markets that actually play real basketball. You know. Play through contact like you’re taught.

13. I love this series. it’s just fun basketball.

14. Someday, Kevin Hart will no longer be in commercials. That day is not today unfortunately

15. Knicks fans answer honestly, I won’t judge.

    Does it get old or annoying watching Towns, Hart, and Brunson throw their arms up and cry or yell at the refs every time they think they should get a foul call? I used to really like Towns but his playstyle is not what it was 5 years ago

    Edit: I knew there had to be some cool Knicks fans in here.

16. ThIS Is THe mOTOr CiTy and THiS IS whaT We do.

17. Both teams are ass tonight, lets just do a HORSE competition to decide this game

18. Any true neutrals out there?  Not a fan of new York, but also don’t dislike them? 

    Curious about the officials, because I’m struggling

19. How is beef stew any better of a defender than Mitchell Robinson? Genuinely give me a reason why Stewart would’ve outplayed him off the bench because Mitch is much more athletic and a better rebounder. Tired of that excuse from Pistons fans

20. So many whiny Piss fans 🤣

21. Welp. The Lebron vs Trump showdown at the White House seems very unlikely. Maybe next yr.

22. Hard to complain about much when it’s a 1 point game and we’re having to play Paul Reed against the Knicks starters

23. Imagine if the Pistons had more freethrow attempts for this game or even the whole series. I bet they’d be winning and would be up in the series 😂

24. Officiating will be completely different in the second half. Either way, it’s just going to be different.

25. 13 to 12 fouls in a 1 point game and Pistons fans are acting like its Lakers vs Kings.

26. THJ needs to shoot more

27. “OG Anunanoby”

28. Just hope if we finish this off that we can get at least one game against Boston then Thibs ass gets fired

29. Celtics game was supposed to start at 8:30 still hasnt tipped off

30. Cmon Knicks, easy dub, we’re literally getting every call our way. Fucking win

31. Kenny and his capri pants

32. Knicks just got bucket getters. Pistons look good, 1-3 start in this series is unflattering for their real skill

33. I wish Brunson would cut back on the ugly ones, but he’s going to go at defenders in the paint, and they all sell to some degree.

    He just did 32 on 2 FT two days ago, Detroit hasn’t done shit to stop him from scoring, maybe focus on that first. 

34. Neutral fan , I really don’t think either team will beat the cavs. Jalen Brunson has been definitely foul baiting this whole series. I think there’s at least one player on each team that do it but he seems excessive. 

    Luka who I love  does it too. Shit is lame because they are ballers and should be able to get points making shots. 

35. This 3rd quarter is gonna tell me a lot about this team

36. Someone pls send me a link so I can watch
