Kawhi the best in the NBA? + The Pistons are here | Slam N Jam

21-0 run that i could not believe but that's just the game of basketball in terms of fact where like it is a game of runs and now they learned from it in game two game three i think is the first game in the series where detroit did not look like the better team for the entire uh game and they tried then they had to play catch up because the knicks made some very very good adjustments so i think with this series is that it's actually a series which is cool

Because the last time we made the playoffs, it wasn't a series at all. So this has been a really fun environment to just witness, watch, and be like, I remember this is Detroit playoff basketball. And LCA was super loud. And that is something that I haven't heard that amount of noise in that arena for a while. So it was good to get back to that.

I think it's been a delightful surprise compared to last year. Last year I know he had the ankle injury, so I know that protecting the rim was kind of – also the rim wasn't really worth protecting when we were down like by 10 or 20 points like every game. You know what I'm saying? So I feel like it's one of those things where this year there's more motivation to play harder. Yeah.

If that makes sense. I don't know. Maybe it's like, oh, we're in more games. I have the number one alley-oop duo in the league. I get the ball on offense. Maybe you know that if I help protect the rim and run the floor, I get more opportunities on the offensive end. So it's one of those things where I feel like –

He seems more motivated this season, and I feel like that is definitely probably in part to J.B. Bickerstaff and his just overriding the entire culture. And I think that also probably is just the vets that we've gotten, whether it's Tobias Harris, Malik Beasley, and then even Schroeder in the offseason.

Sorry, shooter midseason in terms of the fact that these are players that have embraced being in Detroit and want to actually train and mentor these young guys, which is not something that I got a read off of last year. Last year, it felt like all the vets were being like, OK, I can't wait to get traded to a playoff contender.

I feel like it just hinges on Isaiah Stewart being back. I know that a lot of the – I feel like these couple of games have shown how important Isaiah Stewart is and what he brings to the table. I think he's one of the best rim-protecting bigs in the league, especially among the backup centers. And I feel like he is our best –
