That could be a good series. I have Knicks in 6 on my bracket but I think the Pistons will give them fits.
I probably expect the Knicks to win, but I figured most people would have them and it seemed worth the risk to get exposure to the Pistons.
Did you take any underdogs for round 1? Rockets, I guess.
I think I took the favorites in all the other series, but I'm not actually sure who's favored in a couple of them.
I didn't remember who I had picked, but apparently it was Denver. I think that was with the expectation of Kawhi missing time.
I originally picked Detroit to win too in my bracket. Then I was listening to Thursday's Gil's Arena and got convinced by Gil that the Knicks will beat the Pistons. Basically, the argument was that there is no second star or high scoring player on the Pistons roster besides Cade to match the Knicks' double headed scoring from Brunson and KAT. Also, the Knicks are capable of playing grimy basketball to compete with the Pistons' "grind you down" style of play. I expect an extremely physical and very emotional series where Cade will shine very bright despite which team wins. It is another series to keep an eye on.
My thinking was that Detroit’s physical bigs might bring out the worst in KAT and wear down the Knicks who have no depth.
I’m pretty interested in Detroit vs NYK, too. That’s one of the upsets on my bracket.
