39 comments

1. I love the 65 game requirement.

2. The Hornets only lost by 6 to the Pistons even after losing Bridges and Diabate and not having Sexton or Coby White after the trade. So yes, the Knicks could possibly beat them

3. Please get rid of it.

4. I like the Pistons, but this is very identical to the JB/Cavs situation. Great regular season team, one of the best defense in the league, if not the best. Then the playoffs came around and they couldnt live up to their own hype and JB got flat out outcoached, because he's a horrible offensive coach, who doesnt have a plan B, and bad at adjustments. Im not saying Pistons cant be great, but i wanna see it from JB bickerstaff in the playoffs before i believe it.

5. Stephen A is a class act blabber mouth. Respectfully. Love this man’s brain!

6. Finally some rational ppl giving Detroit they flowers thank u sas and company 💯

7. To all my fellow Knick fans…. I have a question….. would you trade Brunson for Ja Morant?? 🤔

8. SA loves their Girth

9. 65 games is fine. Maybe limit the amount of minutes via coaching discretion and stuff. That and lower the requirement to 60 for those with 10 years service.

10. Battle of the hairlines I see

11. Just lower it to 60 this season until they come up with a good alternative.

12. 2:56 KAT traveled. But this is 2026 so it doesn't matter

13. Stephen is right

14. SAS said he loves Detroits size and girth… pause.

15. The 65 game requirement is a good thing. The clear solution isn’t letting players miss more games it’s getting rid of back to backs and extending the season so that there is at least 1 rest day between home games and an additional rest day if necessary for travel.

16. 82 games a year, getting paid millions. That's crazy to me that some can't show up just for 80% of the games.

    FOH

17. 65 game rule kills the value of the awards. It cares more about availability then about dominance of play.

18. A post game leads you to the foul line where your checks get signed, money. Stephen A. Goofy that hairline needs a kufi. Your barber's hand should be cut off for stealing your hair.🤘🤣PEOll DieHard

19. Why would you want Kat on the outside shooting when he's a 7 footer

20. If the 65 games rule makes no diference just like it be then….

21. 65 Games is fine! It’s people like David who is so ignorant he forgot about the fan’s perspective who pay good money to be at these games to see their favorite player play and all of the sudden they don’t show up! Blame the players who abuse it

22. Denis smith is high yella stupid😂

23. We already beat Detroit in the playoffs last year 😂 just ask asur Thompson he was there

24. I finally got to watch the pistons play against my raptors. I really thought the raps could put up a fight. Let me tell you the pistons are next level good. Next tier up from the rest of the east.

25. No problem. The lames will jump back on the bandwagon come playoffs!! LFGK

26. Is this the same conversation for a third day in a row?

27. winning the chip? too early 4 dat … dey hooping doe frfr

28. Bring on the Detroit….New York bleeds Orange & blue not pink thats for soft pp lets will see in the playoffs

29. No don’t get rid of it cause these players in today’s game love to load manage which is weak af

30. 65game rule is pointless. Voters were already taking into account games played.
    Asking if 40 games played makes you ineligible is moronic. I didn't need more proof to know SAS is an idiot, but nice to get it once in a while. If someone votes for that player, just take away their vote next year. That player ain't winning mvp anyway. But is Wemby still DPoY if he plays 62, 60 games? Absolutely. What if he plays 55? Maybe not, if another guy like Gobert played 75-80 games. What if he played 50 or less? Then no. Same with All NBA teams.
    Trust the voters. Anyway, I blame Embiid for this rule.

31. That David dude speaks nonsense

32. This dude David is an idiot because there are two players who played less than 65 games last year that made all NBA and all-stars that's LeBron James and Steph Curry they both played about 55 games and they were both got season awards so David's point is mute because he's a f**** idiot and doesn't look back in history voters will vote for people who pay less than $65 games this guy is an idiot

33. Isn’t this the same thing they said about us and Celtics last year

    What happens in playoffs isn’t the same as during the season.

34. This rule was in place because of load management mostly. Player's that get injured but still have a great year shouldn't be penalized for something out of their control.

35. As a Knicks fan have to admit Pistons did punch them in the mouth twice. Knicks need to punch back. Also need see Detroit to play some of the better teams in the league they beat up on the bad teams lets see what they do against the better teams

36. They'll be a tough out but their youth an inexperience is going show up at the most inopportune time. It tends to happen to all the kiddie teams

37. Does screaming A know what girth means lol 😂

38. Stephen A won’t stop screaming about how much girth Detroit has on national TV smh

39. Not only the Knicks the league
