Not a good sign if they meet in the playoffs.
I said this on the other board but they don’t want to run into Detroit early. The Knicks have a lot of defenders to make him inefficient in a series. He went 42pts for 34 shots, but you definitely want to catch him late and then throw a ton of looks at him. Which is what they did last year.

Earlier in last years series Detroit was giving us problems but then the knicks caught on early. They’re very hungry this year so this will be dangerous going to the post season.

Like I said I would not want to run into them early in seeding. They are definitely more focused than last year and are playing better.

However their flaw then is still their flaw now. Make Cade inefficient as fukk by throwing different defenders at him all night (Jose/Mcbride/Bridges/OG/Sochan) and force the rest of Detroit to beat you offensively.

They still might have other tools to win, I remember Tobias Harris was cooking during that series too last year but they found a way to shut him down as well.

That was because KAT realized he could tire him out. They got more defenders but it just gets tougher. For example while Cade is getting beat up who is guarding Brunson? He is better at it than Thompson….

We definitely shouldn’t be cocky, but they still have the same flaw the Knicks used to beat them last time and the Knicks have added even more defenders to throw at Cade. Like you can’t stop a guy like Cade, you just got to make him inefficient as fukk.

I am going to give Detroit a lot of props, but the playoffs is a game of mismatches and we still mismatch well with them.

Yea playoffs is a whole different atmosphere. It can go either way. I’m just hoping they can hold up well or not meet in the first round.
