Everybody said the same thing about Boston last year, and we ended (momentum) that series BEFORE Tatum got hurt.

70 games plus for the rules, standings and I’m not gonna get involved in all that he say or she say LeBron James talked about how it’s so different but you guys can barely play 82 games the greats back in the days including the goat Michael Jordan mainly average 75+ the mindset, and the physicality of players is totally different from back in the days LeBron James

Sochan signing with the Knicks might end up tipping that series. He can guard Cunningham and, also SGA, Doncic, Edwards etc. He holds players like that to under 35% from the floor over several years. It’s not a small sample size.
He’s not a good shooter but he’s only 22 and can improve there. If he can even get to 35% which is league average he’s got tremendous upside and, regardless of that he can guard those elite wings and guards in the playoffs where they’re going to need him. That’s a very good pick up.

Pistons vs the Knicks… I am not concerned. If they Blowout the Knicks at full strength in the playoffs… then and only then will I be concerned. As for Steven A overreacting, as he always does, I am not concerned. LOL @ him saying Knicks need to be in Panic Mode/Scared to Death… Really!!!
