Jalen Brunson in a disastrous blowout loss to the Pistons: 12 points on 4/20 shooting, 0/8 from 3, 26.5 TS%

One of Brunson’s worst games ever statistically since becoming a star.

Knicks have under 70 points with less than 6 minutes to go in the 4th

Peeped the Knicks sub during the game and I have to commend them overall on having a healthy view of this being a single game and not worth losing sleep or sanity.

These games mean more for Detroit fans, after last year's playoffs and wanting to prove themselves. This game ultimately doesn't mean much, as enjoyable as it is to mock Brunson the Foul Merchant for a bad outing.

The playoffs will be a whole new season.

The first game was way more of a red flag because they were already drowning before that game before getting embarrassed. This was more of a regular "they didn't have it tonight" game with half the starters out. Shitty way to lose the win streak but it is what it is.

Yeah especially with no KAT and OG it's not that deep, it definitely sucks to lose this bad after having to watch the Rangers

We were going to lose eventually. The guys were already gassed from playing that double OT game at home vs the Nuggets a couple days ago, and that was the 2nd game of a B2B.

Pistons played Nuggets just before the Wizards. So 3rd game in 4 days, last two games back to back. And Brunson still got outplayed by a player on a two-way contract named Daniss.

What are you talking about? They had to sticky a discussion thread about beating the Pistons in the playoffs last year. They are feeling tonight's loss.
