They were chanting Mvp for Cade when he mollywhooped the lakers lmao
you can absolutely hate Snoop Dogg, especially when he's performing at events for Trump.
More like who’s the best 2nd place team … the west is the eventual champion 😢😢😢😢
Mvp was not to dis Bronson that was for cade the mvp he a Knicks fan
Wow. Shocked to see Troy Weaver's best friend James Edward's again!
Why would MVP chants for Cade be remotely related to Brunson? Look at the stats. Brunson didn’t have one assist. Cade gets the chants cuz he’s the most complete player in the building.
Been the 1 seed for months but sure lets act like its still a question
The Athletic has constantly dismissed the Pistons. Never mind that they have been the number one in the East basically the entire season. They went on a 13 game winning streak while they were injured (Duren, Cade, Thompson, Tobias, Stew, Ivey, and Sassar had injuries during that streak). They have never had a 3 game losing streak, only twice a two game losing streak. They have won on the road (2nd or 3rd most games played on the road). They have won in the West. They have won against winning teams. They show depth, they show star power and have adapted. But now, just now, they are the best in the East?
The Knicks aren't the best team in the East. They might eventually get the number 1 seed but even then they aren't the best team. Pistons are the best right now. Wake the F up.
Also respect to James.
Pistons will finish the season as the best team in the League. They have a top 5 talent that wants to be the best two-way player every game. They have the deepest bench in the League. Everyone plays Defense!
No. The Cavs still are. The Pistons look really solid though, and Im sure they can win a series or two this year.
Cade for MVP
Why would Cade MVP chants have anything to do with Brunson?????
I’ll save everyone some time. The answer is YES.
Cade is your MVP.
No flopping either!
Yes they are the best team in the East.
Lmao they’re still debating? It’s been like 2-3 months of the Pistons at the #1 spot hahaha yall so biased it’s actually insane you can’t see it, check yourself
It's not even close. The real question is are the Pistons the best team in the entire league.
De-Fense! De-Fense! De-Fense!
You know the Pistons won again
The Knicks two top offensive players are slow and not extremely athletic 😂😂😂
At this point in the season, the Pistons are the best team in the East.
Miss James covering the Pistons! This dude literally covered some of the welter basketball in NBA history 😭
Yes without a doubt
Great show. That the Knucks couldn't bring it against the team competing for the #1 seed is about more than having been focused on other games.
Against teams with a winning record this season….
with Duren: 6-5
w/o Duren: 4-0
Even though they're the best team in the East they need to add someone to alleviate Cade's scoring and playmaking besides him.
Start with the Pistons next time.
Look, Detroit would've beat Knicks last playoffs if the league didn't want them to win. I was at game 4, at the end, when the refs robbed us when they could. Knicks were NEVER BETTER than Pistons!😬😬
Pistons talk begins at 17:10 – you're welcome
The Knicks current struggles are karma for Brunson flopping like an ass and Knocks being such insufferable douchebags
Detroit appreciate the love keep doing your thing James
Thank You Detroit for steam rolling the Knicks….Cowboys Nation
I hate these micro aggressions against the Pistons. They're a better franchise than the Knicks, in a major market. I hate how the media always leans towards NY bias. Sucks shit. The world is connected now. We don't need to only favor certain cities anymore.
People forget how good the Pistons played the last half of the year last season so it's more than just a "hot start". Over the past 90 games only the Thunder and Celtics have a higher winning percentage with the Celtics only being 2 games better. So for over a Calendar year they've been playing at an elite level on par with every team not named OKC Thunder.
