Was I Wrong?

3 days ago | detroitbadboys.com | Hunt Baker

About a year or so ago I said I doubted that the Pistons would ever become a playoff/championship contender once they lost the lottery to draft Wembanyama. I thought that unless they had this kind of player their chances of ever winning a championship would be nil. I believe I also claimed that without a good mix of veteran talent Cunningham wouldn't reach his potential.
Pistons last-second playoff loss is painful, but that is so much better than despair

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images I have watched a lot of Detroit Pistons games. As a Pistons fan, I have watched the giving and receiving end of game-winning shots and elimination games. So when Jalen Brunson had the ball in a tie game and shook Ausar Thompson on a crossover to deliver a picture-perfect 3-point shot to eliminate the Pistons from the playoffs, I was shocked by what I felt. Yes, there was the pain of losing a winnable game. More than pain, though, there was pure joy.

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images In yet another game that went down to the final seconds, one team had Jalen Brunson and the other didn’t. The team with Jalen Brunson won the game and is advancing to the second round of the playoffs. The Detroit Pistons fell to the New York Knicks 116-113 to end their season. The Knicks used a decisive 11-1 run in the final 2:35 to eliminate the Pistons.

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images The Detroit Pistons have already staved off elimination once, and they are looking to do it again. This time, they are hosting the New York Knicks, and if they can win tonight and force a Game 7, I am not sure how to adequately describe what the atmosphere within Little Caesars Arena will be like.

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images Jalen Brunson is not a perfect player, but he’s never been afraid of the big moment. Brunson, the New York Knicks star guard, is hobbled with an ankle injury and coming off his worst showing of the postseason. The Detroit Pistons can’t take that for granted. They better be ready for the best of Brunson. We’ve already seen the best of Ausar Thompson, whose suffocating defense and efficient offense propelled the Pistons to victory in a must-win game 5.
The player that showed what it will take to deliver an NBA title to Detroit again

Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images There was no player I was more disappointed by through the first four games of the series between the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks than Detroit’s second-year forward Ausar Thompson. We knew things would be tougher in the playoffs for a non-shooting player like Thompson with so much time for the opponent to build a game plan. True to form, offense is difficult, but the biggest issue was Thompson couldn’t seem to get out of his own way.

There is nothing left to say. The Detroit Pistons are going up against the New York Knicks, facing elimination and the end to a special season. They will once again have to do it without key reserve Isaiah Stewart, who is missing his fourth consecutive game with knee inflammation. The Knicks have outexecuted the Pistons, especially late, but Detroit has been in every game in the series despite finding themselves down 3-1.

Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images The Detroit Pistons find themselves down 3-1 to the New York Knicks and facing potential elimination at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. It’s been a series of tough beats for the Pistons, who have been on the wrong side of one-possession games twice in this series. Once, they couldn’t effectively get a shot in-bounds for a miracle attempt.
Refs say foul should have been called on Tim Hardaway Jr.’s last-second shot

Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images The Detroit Pistons were down 1 in the final seconds, and the ball rolled to a waiting Tim Hardaway Jr. for a final shot. A shot, the referees said after the game, that should have resulted in three free throws. Instead, no whistle was called and the Pistons lost the game to the New York Knicks 94-93. Instead of the series being tied 2-2, the Pistons now face a 3-1 deficit and an elimination game in New York.
Pistons vs. Knicks final score: Pistons lose a heartbreaker as Brunson and KAT lead comeback

Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images The Detroit Pistons did everything they could to tie the series at 2-2 except for execute when it mattered most. The star duo of Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns had no such issue. In the fourth quarter the pair outscored the entire Pistons team 23-22, en route to Detroit falling 94-93 and facing an elimination game on the road. Towns hit the game-winning shot, a 27-foot bomb from deep to give the Knicks the one-point lead.
