HOME  COURT HAS MEANT VERY LITTLE  IN THIS SERIES. BUT CADE  CUNNINGHAM AND THE PISTONS  ARE IN THEIR PLACE TRYING TO  FORCE A GAME SEVEN KNICKS.  PISTONS NEXT.  FIVE FIRST ROUND SERIES ARE  OVER. THREE REMAIN  UNSETTLED. WE HAVE TWO GAME  SIXES ON TNT TONIGHT AND  IT'S TNT. NBA TIP-OFF  PRESENTED BY CARMAX. FROM  STUDIO J IN ATLANTA, ERNIE  JOHNSON, SHAQUILLE O'NEAL,  KENNY THE JET SMITH. YES,  SIR. AND SITTING IN FOR  CHARLES BARKLEY. WHO HAS THE  NIGHT OFF. LADIES AND  GENTLEMEN, WE WELCOME JALEN  ROSE TO THE PROCEEDINGS.  >> THANK Y'ALL FOR HAVING  ME. SO WAIT, MY QUESTION IS  IF YOU'RE HERE KENNY IS  JALEN PEARL ROSE EVEN NOTICE  IF WE DON'T GET A FOUL AT  THE END OF THE GAME. LIKE  TIM HARDAWAY DIDN'T GET A  COUPLE OF GAMES AGO I MIGHT  HAVE TO CLENCH MY PEARL OKAY  I DIDN'T KNOW. I'M LIKE HOW  ARE WE GOING TO SAY JALEN  ROSE IS IN THE STANDS IF  HE'S HERE?  >> YEAH, EXACTLY. SAY THAT  WE DO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF  VIDEO OF JALEN THAT WE'D  LIKE TO SHARE. OH REALLY.  YEAH OKAY. AS A MATTER OF  FACT THANKS FOR BRINGING  THIS JALEN OKAY.  >> OH ON.  >> THE ROCKETS. THAT'S A AND  ONE.  >> WHERE YOU AT KENNY.  >> WIZARDS KENNY NO.  >> NO NO NO.  >> WE GOT SOME ROOKIE YEAR  BULLS.  >> GAME WINNER. BULLS IN  2002.  >> NOT SO LOST. ART OF THE  MIDRANGE.  >> HEY.  >> FINESSE. IT WAS WIDE OPEN  THREE BALL. OH PUMP FAKE.  >> THE BAGGY SHORTS ERA MAN  ALIVE.  >> TERROR SINCE THE PUBLIC  SCHOOL ERA.  >> AND AS OF LATE, YOU HAVE  BEEN A FIXTURE WATCHING  THESE PISTONS IN YOUR  HOMETOWN OF DETROIT. MAN,  WHAT'S THE PLACE BEEN LIKE?  >> THE PLACE HAS BEEN SO  FRENETIC, AND I'M SO EXCITED  THAT THE PISTONS, A TEAM  THAT LOST 28 STRAIGHT GAMES  LAST YEAR, BRINGING JB  BICKERSTAFF, CHANGED THEIR  ROSTER IN A LOT OF WAYS,  BRINGING SOME VETS. CADE  CUNNINGHAM TAKES THE LEAD.  THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT YEAR  FOR PISTONS FANS, BUT WE  AIN'T SATISFIED. WE GOT TO  GET THIS GAME TONIGHT.  DETROIT BASKETBALL.  >> I KNOW YOU WISH YOU WERE  THERE, BUT WE ARE REALLY  GLAD TO HAVE YOU HERE.  >> YOU KNOW THE VIDEO I  THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO  BRING I THOUGHT HE WAS. WELL  I WOULD LIKE TO SEE 81  DIFFERENT. OH, SEE 81  DIFFERENT. 81, 81 DIFFERENT  VERSIONS OF THAT BEARD. NO  DOUBT. 81. I CAN'T GROW  MINE. 81. YOU CAN'T GROW  YOURS EITHER. YEAH. OKAY.  ALL RIGHT.  >> HERE'S HERE'S OUR  DOUBLEHEADER TONIGHT.  >> REALLY GOOD AT  BASKETBALL. FOR THOSE THAT  DON'T.  >> KNOW ON TNT.  >> LUKA GAVE UP MORE LAST  NIGHT THAN I GAVE UP IN THAT  GAME. NO, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT  THAT ONE. YEAH HE DID. I  GAVE UP 18 IN THAT GAME,  SIR.  >> NIXON. PISTONS. NUGGETS  AND CLIPPERS. IT'S GOING TO  TAKE WINS BY THE HOME TEAM  TO EXTEND BOTH OF THOSE  SERIES. SPEAKING OF WHICH,  WINS BY THE HOME TEAM HAVE  BEEN RARE IN THE KNICKS  PISTONS SERIES. THERE HAS  ONLY BEEN ONE THE KNICKS  TAKING THE OPENER AT THE  GARDEN. THE PISTONS LOST  THEIR TWO GAMES IN DETROIT  BY A TOTAL OF THREE POINTS,  BUT THEY GET ANOTHER SHOT  TONIGHT TO PUSH THIS SERIES  TO A SEVENTH GAME. STEPHANIE  READY WORKING THE SIDELINES  TONIGHT. GOING TO BE A GREAT  PLACE TO BE ON THIS THURSDAY  NIGHT. AND WHAT YOU GOT FOR  ME PREGAME.  >> HEY THERE E.J. YES IT IS  GOING TO BE JUMPING IN HERE.  IT'S ALREADY ELECTRIC. YOU  CAN TELL BEFORE THE GAME  EVEN STARTS. I WANTED TO  TELL YOU GUYS ABOUT THE NEW  YORK KNICKS. YOU MIGHT  RECALL THE LAST GAME IN NEW  YORK UNDER THE THREE MINUTE  MARK, JALEN BRUNSON WENT  DOWN. IT APPEARED THAT HE  ROLLED HIS ANKLE. WELL HE  WENT IN. HE STEPPED OFF THE  COURT FOR A MINUTE. AND  WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU THIS  REPLAY HERE OF WHAT  HAPPENED. BUT WHEN HE WAS  ASKED TODAY ABOUT THE TIMES  HE'S LEFT THE GAME, WAS IT  DUE TO THE ANKLE. HE WOULD  NOT EVEN CONFIRM THE REASONS  WHY HE WAS LEAVING. THE  KNICKS ARE BEING VERY TIGHT  LIPPED AND WE'RE SHOWING YOU  NOW JOSH HART GOING DOWN.  AND THAT WAS EVEN LATER IN  THE FOURTH QUARTER. HE WAS  ASKED TODAY HOW HE FEELS. HE  USED THE WORD EXQUISITE.  NEITHER OF THOSE KNICKS  PLAYERS ARE LISTED ON THE  INJURY REPORT. BOTH ARE  REFUSING TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE  THE INJURY. HART DID, IN  FACT, TODAY SAY THAT THEY  LOOKED AT SOME THINGS,  MEANING SOME IMAGING, BUT  WOULD NOT REVEAL WHAT SORT  OF IMAGING IT COULD HAVE  BEEN AN X RAY. IT COULD HAVE  BEEN AN MRI, WE DON'T KNOW.  THERE IS NOTHING TO TELL YOU  GUYS ABOUT HOW INJURED THESE  TWO PLAYERS ARE. IT'S JUST  SOMETHING TO KEEP YOUR EYE  ON BECAUSE FOR SURE THEY ARE  NOT 100%. NOW AN INJURY  UPDATE ON THE OTHER SIDE FOR  ISAIAH STEWART. HE HAS YET  TO PLAY IN THIS SERIES. I  SPOKE WITH HIM THIS MORNING.  HE IS COMING ALONG. HE'S  DOING MORE THINGS ON THE  COURT. NOTHING CONTACT YET.  HE'S JUST GOING THROUGH  DEFENSIVE SETS AND THINGS HE  WILL BE DOING ON THE  OFFENSIVE END. IF HE WERE TO  PLAY IN THE GAME, THAT TELLS  US THAT HE'S TRYING TO GET  THERE, TO GET BACK OUT ON  THE COURT. OBVIOUSLY THEY  MISS HIM. GUYS, THIS SERIES  IS COMING DOWN TO THE  POSSESSION GAME. BOTH  COACHES MOMENTS AGO TOLD US  THAT IT COMES DOWN TO THAT  REBOUNDING, TURNOVERS,  TRYING TO CONTROL THE BOARDS  BUT LIMIT YOUR TURNOVERS  WHILE FORCING YOUR OPPONENT  INTO MANY MORE TWOS. SO  WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES  TONIGHT.  >> GREAT INFORMATION  STEPHANIE. THANK YOU VERY  MUCH. ENJOY THE GAME. ENJOY  THE ATMOSPHERE TONIGHT IN  DETROIT. CARMAX NEVER  SETTLE. 49 LEAD CHANGES 36  TIES SO FAR THROUGH FIVE  GAMES. FOR THE GAMES COMING  DOWN TO CLUTCH TIME. AND  THEY'RE TWO AND TWO. LAST  THREE GAMES DECIDED BY THREE  OR LESS. AND THE ROAD TEAM  HAS WON FOUR OF THE FIVE  GAMES. NOW GUYS I WANT TO I  WANT YOU TO WEIGH IN ON WHAT  WE SAW HERE THE OTHER NIGHT.  AND YOU BROUGHT THIS UP THE  OTHER NIGHT IN THE POST-GAME  SHOW. KENNY, WHEN BRUNSON  AND HART BOTH WENT OUT. AND  THEN WITH A SHADE OVER TWO  MINUTES TO GO, THEY START  MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE  SCORERS TABLE. BUT DON'T GET  IN UNTIL THERE'S, LIKE, 30S  LEFT IN THE GAME.  >> WELL, YOU KNOW, IF YOU'RE  IF YOUR GOAL IS TO GET THE  TWO PLAYERS IN WITH TWO  MINUTES TO GO OR LESS  BECAUSE ONE, THE GUY WHO WAS  SITTING THERE WITH THE ANKLE  INJURY AND JALEN BRUNSON IS  THE CLUTCH PLAYER OF THE  NBA. SO MEANING IN THE LAST  TWO MINUTES OF THE GAME, HE  HAS BEEN THE BEST BASKETBALL  PLAYER IN THE NBA. YOU HAVE  TO CALL A TIMEOUT AND YOU  CANNOT LET A MINUTE AND 30  GO BY BECAUSE YOU YOU WANT  THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER  IN THE LAST TWO MINUTES.  HE'S VOTED THAT AND HE'S NOT  IN IT IN THE GAME.  >> IF YOU'RE A OTHER AND YOU  SEE THE GUYS THAT ARE COMING  IN, YOU HAVE TO FOUL. FOUL.  DID THE WHISTLE CALL GET  THEM IN THE GAME? WELL  TIMEOUT.  >> EITHER A TIMEOUT OR A  FOUL.  >> THROW THE.  >> BALL BECAUSE THERE WASN'T  A BECAUSE THERE WASN'T A  DEAD BALL. JALEN.  >> AND AS A PISTONS FAN WE  LIKE THANK YOU. YEAH LIKE  WAS HAS TEARS. BEEN WATCHING  JJ REDICK COACH. BUT THAT'S  ANOTHER SUBJECT FOR ANOTHER  DAY. WITH THAT BEING SAID  YOU HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO  GET THEM IN THE GAME. AND  BOTH OF YOU GUYS SAID IT.  OTHER HAS TO FOUL OR THE  COACH SHOULD CALL TIMEOUT OR  GET BRUNSON IN THE GAME. YOU  HAVE TO GET HIM OR THE  COACHING STAFF SHOULD TELL  SOMEBODY TO FOUL. WELL, THEY  DIDN'T EITHER. IT MAY IT MAY  HAVE BEEN THEY MIGHT HAVE  BEEN IN THE PENALTY. SO WE  DON'T KNOW THAT I DON'T  REALLY I DON'T KNOW.  >> THAT TIBBS SAYS THERE'S  JUST SO MUCH. ONE OF THE  THINGS HE CONSIDERED THERE'S  PENALTY. THERE'S IS THIS  NEXT POSSESSION GOING TO  MAYBE CHANGE THINGS. THERE'S  A MILLION THINGS GOING ON IN  HIS MIND.  >> BEST PLAYER.  >> YOU GOT TO HAVE JALEN  BRUNSON ON THE.  >> FLOOR. VOTED BY THIS YEAR  2025 NBA CLUTCH PLAYER OF  THE YEAR IS JALEN BRUNSON.  AND HE'S ON THE SIDELINE IN  CLUTCH TIME. THAT DOESN'T  MAKE SENSE. NO MATTER HOW  YOU SAY NOW TIBBS IS THEY'VE  DONE ENOUGH TO YOU KNOW  ERNIE AND SHAQ AND JALEN TO  BE IN POSITION. THEY'RE GOOD  ENOUGH TO WIN IT. HOWEVER  YOU KNOW EVERYONE MAKES  MISTAKES. THAT WAS A  MISTAKE. TIBBS HAS DONE A  GREAT JOB WITH THIS TEAM BUT  THAT WAS A MISTAKE.  >> BUT TONIGHT I THINK THIS  GAME IS ALL ABOUT DETROIT  AND CADE CUNNINGHAM. LIKE  I'M A FAN NOW PLAY. WE ALL  PLAY THE GAME. BUT AS A FAN,  I REMEMBER GROWING UP JUST  WATCHING THE GREAT PLAYERS  JUST DO SOMETHING VERY  SPECIAL. THEY HAVE NOT WON  IN DETROIT YET. HOPEFULLY  LAST NIGHT HE'S DREAMING  ABOUT DOING SOMETHING  SPECIAL. WHEN I SAY SPECIAL,  I'M TALKING 3540 POINTS A  NIGHT TO LET THEM KNOW LIKE,  HEY, I'M HERE, THIS IS WHAT  WE'RE DOING, AND WE'RE GOING  TO GO TO A GAME SEVEN. AFTER  I GIVE YOU 40 TONIGHT, I'M  GOING TO GIVE YOU 40 IN THE  GARDEN AND SHUT IT DOWN.  THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO SEE  TONIGHT. YOU THINK HE'S A  SCORER SHAQ.  >> OR A PLAYMAKER.  >> HE'S BOTH.  >> HE'S BOTH. JALEN WHAT  WOULD YOU SAY. HE'S BOTH.  HE'S A TOP FIVE IN THE  LEAGUE IN BOTH CATEGORIES.  AND I AGREE WITH YOU DIESEL.  THIS HAS TO BE THE CADE  GAME. THE PISTONS HAVE LOST  18 STRAIGHT HOME GAMES  DATING BACK OVER X AMOUNT OF  YEARS. IN THE PLAYOFFS. HE'S  LED THE LEAGUE IN TURNOVERS  THROUGHOUT THIS ROUND. HE'S  AVERAGING 5.8. BUT HE'S A  TERRIFIC PASSER. HE'S VERY  UNSELFISH. AND THIS IS THE  TIME WHERE YOU SHOW THAT  YOU'VE TAKEN THAT LEAP IN  THE REGULAR SEASON. YOU MAKE  YOUR NAME TODAY AGAINST THE  KNICKS IN GAME SEVEN IS  WHERE CADE GOING TO MAKE HIS  FAME.  >> THEY GOT SOME YOUNG  TALENT ON THAT TEAM LAZAR  THOMPSON HAD 22 AND SEVEN.  THAT WAS THAT WAS FOUND  MONEY THE OTHER NIGHT WHEN  HE SCORES 22 IN THAT GAME  FOR DETROIT.  >> IMAGINE WATCHING THE  THOMPSON TWINS PLAY AGAINST  EACH OTHER. HOW TENACITY,  THE TENACITY THAT THEY BOTH  HAVE. YOU SEE ONE IN A  SERIES PLAYING AGAINST STEPH  CURRY AND LOCKING HIM DOWN,  AND ANOTHER ONE PLAYING  AGAINST JALEN BRUNSON AND  TRYING TO DO THE EXACT SAME  THING. AND I DON'T SEE HIM  SLOWING DOWN DEFENSIVELY AT  ALL. I THINK BRUNSON HAS  SHOWED THAT HE WAS INJURED.  HE HURT HIS ANKLE. HE'S BEEN  DOING A LOT OF FLOPPING IN  THIS SERIES AND HE'S DONE A  GREAT JOB. THAT SOUNDS LIKE  A HOMER I MEAN I MEAN, IT.  >> IS WHAT IT TURNS OUT  TONIGHT.  >> SO I REALLY I REALLY  BELIEVE THAT DETROIT AND BET  ON IT DETROIT DETROIT MIGHT  BLOW THEM OUT TODAY. YOU GOT  YOU GOT ANYTHING OVER THERE  SHAQ.  >> THERE YOU GO KENNY.  >> GOT SOME CHANGE OVER  THERE.  >> THERE YOU GO KENNY THE  BANKER.  >> SHAQ THIS IS MY 10'. YOU  KNOW THE PISTONS WON AGAIN I  DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT IS.  ALL WE DO IS WIN. THESE SHAQ  BUCKS THE. NUMBERS OF BUCKS  THE.  >> NUMBERS.  >> I GOT THIS KIND OF MONEY.  >> MONEY AT.  >> ITS BEST IN THEIR WINS 27  POINTS A GAME IN THEIR  LOSSES 13 A GAME. WHAT DO  YOU NEED TO SEE FROM CAT  TONIGHT.  >> WELL IF THEY WANT TO WIN  HE NEEDS TO GIVE ME A 30.  YOU KNOW THE LAST GAME THEY  PLAYED AT DETROIT HE HIT TWO  PHENOMENAL SHOTS THAT MADE  ME SAY, OKAY, THIS IS THE  CAT I WANT TO SEE ALL THE  TIME. YOU KNOW, CAT IS  SIMILAR TO JALEN GREEN NOT  NOT POINTS WISE. BUT LIKE  THEY GO UP UP AND DOWN. IF  YOU'RE GOING TO SCORE 27 I  NEED TO SEE 27 A NIGHT NOT  27 ONE NIGHT AND 13 THE NEXT  NIGHT WHEN HE MIXES IT UP,  PLAYS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE.  HE'S TOUGH TO BEAT. LIKE  RIGHT HERE. THIS SHOT, WHEN  HE HIT THAT SHOT, I WAS  LIKE, NO, NO. AND IT WENT  IN. I WAS LIKE, OKAY, GOOD  SHOT. IF HE PLAYS LIKE THAT,  PLAYS WITH THIS ENTHUSIASM  AND WILLS HIS TEAM TO WIN  HIM AND BRUNSON IS GOING TO  BE A TOUGH NIGHT. BUT IT'S  ALL ABOUT DETROIT TONIGHT  BECAUSE MY FAVORITE SLOGAN  WHEN I WAS PLAYING ERNIE,  ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU SAID IT,  WIN OR GO HOME. AND I'M NOT  TRYING TO GO HOME TONIGHT,  SO I NEED CADE TO GET ME 40  TONIGHT.  >> WELL, I THINK HONESTLY,  THIS IS A KARL-ANTHONY TOWNS  NIGHT. IT'S BUILT FOR HIM IN  TERMS OF. HE WAS TRADED TO  THE NEW YORK KNICKS. HIS  ADVANTAGE IS THAT WHEN YOU  MOVE HIM TO THE FOUR, WHEN  MITCHELL ROBINSON COMES IN  THE GAME, THEY'RE GOING TO  BE VERY DIFFICULT GUYS.  TOBIAS HARRIS AND THOSE GUYS  ACTUALLY PLAYED WELL AGAINST  HIM. HE HE WILL SHOW THAT.  BUT THE LAST MISSING  COMPONENT TO THAT THE GUY HE  WAS TRADED FOR MOVED ON LAST  NIGHT AND THAT AND MINNESOTA  HE MOVED ON AND WAS A KEY  CONTRIBUTOR. IF YOU DON'T  THINK THAT HE PAID ATTENTION  TO THAT AND UNDERSTANDS THAT  WE'RE ALL FOOLING OURSELVES.  SO I THINK THIS IS A CALL TO  ANTHONY TOWNS NIGHT WHERE HE  WILL COME OUT SUPER  AGGRESSIVE. AND I THINK THAT  MIGHT PROPEL THE KNICKS TO  MOVING ON.  >> FIRST THREE QUARTERS IN  THIS SERIES. DETROIT PLUS  16. FOURTH QUARTER -21. CAN  THEY SEAL THE DEAL TONIGHT.  CAN THEY FORCE A GAME SEVEN.  THAT'S GOING TO BE THAT'S  THE QUESTION. AND I THINK  TURNOVERS PLAY A LARGE PART  IN THIS TOO BECAUSE THEY  HAVE BEEN TURNING THE BALL  OVER A LOT. WE'LL SEE HOW  THIS HOW THIS PLAYS OUT.  >> ROLE PLAYERS PLAY BETTER  AT HOME. I LOOK FOR TIM  HARDAWAY AND MALIK BEASLEY  BOTH TO MAKE SHOTS. I LOOK  FOR DUREN TO BE VERY  PHYSICAL IN THE PAINT AND BE  A DOUBLE DOUBLE DOWN LOW AND  GET OUT THERE AND GUARD KARL  ANTHONY TOWNS AT THE THREE  POINT LINE. AND YOU GUYS  KNOW THIS EVERY TIME KARL  ANTHONY TOWNS SHOOTS ONE OF  THOSE LONG THREES AS AN  OPPONENT YOU LIKE. WE'LL  LIVE WITH THAT. BUT THE  DIFFERENCE IS HE'S ACTUALLY  MAKING THEM. SO IF YOU CAN  GET HIM TO BE DISRUPTED IF  THEY MISS A COUPLE OF THOSE  SHOTS, THE OPPONENT ACTUALLY  WILL TAKE HIM SHOOTING FROM  25, 35, 30FT.  >> ANOTHER GUY WHO'S BEEN A  FACTOR IN THIS DENNIS  SCHRODER BY THE WAY, HE H HS  OUTSCORED THE NEW YORK BENCH  BY HIMSELF 66 TO 63. CANNOT  WAIT FOR THIS ONE. OH DID  DID CHUCK FINALLY GET FIRED.  NO HE'S JUST GOT THE NIGHT  OFF.  >> YES.   >> YES.  >> WELL YOU DON'T KNOW THAT  ERNIE. YOU DON'T.  >> KNOW THAT'S WHAT HE'S  DOING TOO. YEAH.  >> OH MY GOSH.  >> HE'S ON THE BLOCK.  >> OH THAT'S WHERE HE AT.  >> I REALLY DON'T NEED TO  SEE THAT. WHEN WE COME BACK.  >> 10TH AND PEACHTREE.  >> WE'LL GET Y SET FOR THE  NUGGET"}]
