Ausar can guard only one of Jalen or KAT. KAT should cook Duren IMO and probably Stewart too.

First time all season. What will Thibs do with all these healthy bodies? Does this change his typical 8 man playoff rotation?

Well I’m hearing a 2 center lineup may increase for the playoffs. I still have my doubts with towns on defense vs centers or forwards. But at least with Mitch on the floor, that should make Cade hesitate on those drives which makes him easier to guard on the perimeter.

Will Duran even be on KAT? Most other teams put their centers on Hart. If the Pistons don't at least try to do it they deserve to lose.

If they try to put Tobias on KAT we need to feast on that advantage.

I'll be there for Game 1! Nothing like the playoff atmosphere at the Garden!

Please make sure OG knows you are bringing Anne Hathaway?

Will Thibs try OG or Hart on Cade for some minutes to give different looks and wear him down? Mikal may not be physical enough long-term and we would have to hide Jalen on THardaway Jr or Beasley/T.Harris at times anyway.

If we start Mitch next to KAT will they will counter with Duren and Stewart or open things up with T.Harris to stretch the floor? We love to pack the paint so hope Thibs can make in-game adjustments. He did improve on making playoff game to game adjustments since his Chi/Minn days...

Jaden Ivey returning could also be an issue for us with our bench depth.

Excited we get to watch Knicks in late April (and hopefully May)

Three more days till game time.

Just want to remind everyone that Josh Hart shot like 20 pct on 3s down the stretch last year and then made 12 3's in the first 3 games of the playoffs.

Not saying he will do it again, but he is a big game player who has made teams pay before.

Ivey was playing better this year, but I tend to fear Schroeder more. I dont think we see both in the rotation, but not impossible.

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it again
