What did the Knicks struggle with in their recent game?
We know that the Knicks had trouble covering Cade Cunningham last night, who went off for 42 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists. Mikkel Bridges, OG Ananobi, didn't do such a great job. So they went to Sohan to see if he could do a little bit better. And at first, if you listen to the guys on Amazon Prime, Dwayne Wade and Stan Van Gundy, they liked what they were seeing until Cunningham made them look silly.
But so has competing. He's going to beat it.
He's not going that easy. Look, he's competing, coach. Oh, got him. That's filthy. K cutting him with a deep shot.
Yeah, it was one of those plays where he was with him, he was with him, and then a step back and he wasn't with him.
How did Cade Cunningham perform against the Knicks?
and a wide-open three, and it goes in. That was Ian there as well on Amazon Prime. 126-111 the final. Three of Cunningham's 42 points. Here was J.B. Biggerstaff after the game, the Pistons head coach. No shock what Cunningham did tonight.
He's been that all year long. I don't think you pick an MVP based off just one game or one statement. He's been this way for the entire season. You know what I mean? He's dominated both ends of the floor and impacted winning in a major way.
And Paul Reed impacted the game, too. 18.7 rebounds, few blocked shots. Tobias Harris at 11 and 10. Detroit without Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart. Here was Mike Brown. Yes, all of that is true, but the fact of the matter is we were 8 for 35 from three-point range. We couldn't shoot, and it's pretty simple.
I thought we had some wide-open looks that normally go in.
And they didn't tonight. And they didn't.
Make or miss league.
Yep, always. By the way, Jerry, I don't know if you heard out there, if you were cutting some tape, the odds to win the Eastern Conference on FanDuel Sportsbook. So rank the top four teams that you think FanDuel Sportsbook would have as one through four as the favorites to make it out of the East to go to the NBA Finals.
Well, it's got to be, I mean, just saying the teams, it's got to be the Knicks, the Cavs, the Celtics, and the Pistons.
Right, so put it in order.
You've got to be bringing this up because they've got the Knicks first then.
What insights did the commentators share about the Knicks' performance?
Nope.
They don't. No. Boston, Cleveland. Cleveland. Cleveland number one. Because of James Harden. Which is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. Well, no, no, no. I'm just wondering if prior to the trade they had Cleveland number one. I don't know.
Because of James Harden, the guy who likes to get the season over with?
I'm wondering if it changed since the trade. I don't know. That'd be silly if anybody's betting on them. So, yeah, Cleveland 1, Boston 2, Detroit 3, Knicks 4.
Knicks down 4th, huh? Damn.
Yeah, I know. Surprising.
Yeah, that is surprising. But Knicks plus 420. I still can't believe the Celtics are 36. They beat the Warriors last night, too, at Golden State. It's a team like they don't go away. Winning organization, man.
Yeah, they are.
Winning DNA. And a lot of changeover on that roster as well. Here was Mike Brown. Remember the beginning part of the season and really through December and even January, Carl Anthony Towns just talked about trying to find the right fit and still figuring things out. So Brown was asked last night, now that we're in mid to the latter part of February, how is he doing with the flow and his role in the offense?
He's comfortable. We're continuing to try to do different things to help free him up, and we'll continue to search to try to do different things to free him up throughout the course of the rest of the year.
And that came from a conversation, whereas he did not much in the first half, was better in the second half, and they had their big guys out. One more from Brown. It's a loss. Nobody's happy, but it's a loss. We move on.
It's not the end of the world. We've got to regroup, and we've got to watch this film, see how we can get better, and then go get the next one.
Now, you would also think after a game like this, there's a lot of reaction. So I went to the Nightcap podcast to see if those guys talked about it. They opened with this game. And Joe Johnson was doing the show with both Shannon and Ocho.
