Game thread: New York Knicks @ Detroit Pistons 7:00 11/6/2019 [Game #8]

Knicks have fought all the way back. This Ntilikina, RJ, Morris, Randle, and Portis lineup finally starting to mesh like Fizdale wanted.

Nitilikina and Randle bright spits. JR has 17 and Nits playing his usual good defensive game but also has scored 6 pts. Despite good games by those 2, Knicks are down 5 to DET 64-59 at the half.

Nitilikina serious about getting that starting PG spot, noticeably more aggressive trying to push the pace, Fiz wants his PG to push the pace

Randle with a Melo-type effort scoring 17 points in the 1st half but only 1 rebound. RJ with 10 points and 5 assists. Ntilikina playing good defense and hitting a few shots.

This team gave up 64 points in the 1st half though and we know how bad things go for us after halftime adjustments (or lack thereof). You think Dolan has to take notice if we fall to 1 - 7 tonight.
 
Listen, we?re going to lose tonight because our defense is atrocious. That said, has Ntilikina finally discovered how to shoot in the NBA? Man, that would be a good thing.
 
Unbelievable. Pistons just got a 6-point play after a questionable flagrant gets called on Randle on a 3 pointer.

14-3 run by the Pistons, keyed by a questionable flagrant 1 call on JR. He was called for not allowing landing space for the shooter on a made 3. The Pistons got the 3 plus the tech FT and the Drummond got the next bucket because they got possession after the flagrant, that's 6 pts on one play.

Until he breaks that 20ppg mark, I'm skeptical. His shooting numbers before this game were worse than last year off a limited sample of course.

Just as I write this Nits pump fakes a defender trying to close out, steps in allowing the defender to fly past him and nails the mid range 2. Very smooth.

Knits playing well against the Pistons is exactly what I was looking for

Perfect trade bait performance for a team that had interest in him
 
What more does anyone need to see from Fizdale, Mills, and Perry?

Dolan, act like they are a fan that told you to sold the team and ban them for life.

Whose man is Tony Snell, he's 6-6 from downtown with 24 pts. Pistons destroyed the Knicks in the 4th now making it a rout with 4 mins left. Fiz throws in the towel and subs in Dot and Iggy. Pathetic performance after that embarrassment against the Kings.

The Mavs are going to destroy us Friday, I'd expect KP is going to be featured with Doncic deferring to him esp with MRob out under the concussion protocol.

I hope KP scores 50 points against us and Dolan has Fizdale, Mills, and Perry escorted out by security in the 4th quarter.

Tired of Fizdale. Always says I got to watch the film when asked why something happened, what other coach uses that line when they get their butts kicked.
