Pistons look to take control of the series
How loud can Little Caesars Arena get? That is the primary question I have been asking myself as the Detroit Pistons host the New York Knicks in game three of the first-round series in the NBA Playoffs . I was at the first home game the last time the Pistons hosted a tilt in the playoffs. Blake Griffin was returning from the knee injury and the building was electric — even as everyone knew the Pistons were about to get crushed by the visiting Milwaukee Bucks . I’ll be there again tonight, and I’m wondering just how much more amped people will be to root for a team they believe in. A team they just saw break a playoff losing streak that stretched back to 2008, a team they believe can win the series against the Knicks, and a team they believe has a legitimate NBA future. It will be loud. I can’t wait to see how loud.
Also, for those wondering, Isaiah Stewart is officially listed as questionable tonight with right knee inflammation.
