Game Thread Knicks vs Detroit Pistons 7:30 Game # 23

Hukporti sighting .....
Sims and Hukporti will finally receive some decent playing time for their NBA growth.
2 min remain in quarter .. Piston 30 Knicks 18
 
End of the First Quarter .. Knicks 23 - Pistons 39

I kept saying since Mitch Robinson rookie season the Knicks coaching staff are CLUELESS on coaching Centers and PF.
Mikal and OG played the entire 12 minute of the first qtr. Brunson 10 min
 
I was liking the trio od Precious/Deuce/and Kolec warming up on court, missing Dadiet & Hukporti in their lineup.
Brunson & OG back in the lineup and back to a 12 pt Piston lead
 
Half Time .. Knicks 58 - Pistons 69

Well, this is not last seasons Piston team.
Pistons Cunningham control the tempo of the game in first half 16-0 in fastbreak scoring.
Hukporti big-body did add some defense the remaining 3 min in the qtr.
Brunson's the only Knicks to score in double digits 20 pts.
 
Less than 4 min remain in 3rd qtr. and the Pistons are fighting hard to keep their 11 point lead over the Knicks.
89-77 Piston lead
 
I have to say it .. the Knicks 6 man rotation in the 3rd quarter are closing in on the lead
McBride Precious Brunson Mikal OG and Hart
 
End of 3rd Quarter .. Knicks 85 - Pistons 89

We may need some fresh energy players to start the 4th for a Knicks win.
Mikal OG Brunson and Hart all played 30 minutes in the 3 quarters
 
We didn't play tonight's game for a Knicks win.
The 39-23 first quarter had us chasing behind the Pistons all game.
We practically shot half of our FG shots from 3's. 42-79, 11-34 from 3's
The Piston's center Jalen Duren and veteran PF Harris dominated the Glass 43-31 tonight.
Coach Tibbs only gave Sims 6 minutes to battle against tandem bigmen Harris/Duren. and Hukporti 15 minutes to battle against both Harris/Duren. And Precious Achuwa is a PF, that need Sims or Hukporti in the lineup for the Knicks to dominate the Glass & Paint.
OG is our SF (Wing) who happen to be our best defender of the Pistons young upcoming star Cunningham (who practically was short of having a Triple-Double at half time.
OG Anunoby happen to be our best defender against certain opponents like Tatum & Butler & Luka & Derozan & PG3 & RJ Barrett.
Our coaching staff are not preparing our centers Sims & Hukporti with any type of plays for them to score.
Having a F/C KAT and never having KAT in a lineup playing Forward once in 23 games ???
And why did we play Mikal for 47 minutes in a (LaMeloless Hornets) game we ended the 3rd quarter having a 25 point lead???
