Susan Reeves+FollowDid JB Bench Ausar at the Worst Time?Knicks fans, what a finish! Jalen "Villanova Viper" Brunson pulled off another playoff miracle, but let’s talk about the real chess match: Ausar Thompson was locking him up all series. Even Brunson said, “That dude is big-time.” Yet Pistons coach JB Bickerstaff benched Ausar late in Game 6, and the Knicks pounced. Once Thompson sat, Brunson attacked, and the Pistons’ lead vanished. Did JB overthink it, or was it just a rookie mistake? This call might haunt Detroit all summer. #KnicksVsPistons #NBAPlayoffs #AusarThompson #JalenBrunson #PistonsNation #Sports40Share
guerrajohn+FollowAusar Throws Shade at Brunson’s “Selling”Did anyone catch Ausar Thompson’s comments after Game 1? The Pistons rookie called out Jalen Brunson for being a master at “selling” fouls, hinting that King Brunson’s trips to the line might be a bit theatrical. Brunson dropped 34 on Detroit, but Ausar says the key is just not to bite on his moves. With Thompson as the primary defender, this budding rivalry could get spicy fast. Can the Pistons adjust and slow down the Knicks’ top scorer in Game 2? #KnicksVsPistons #JalenBrunson #AusarThompson #NBAPlayoffs #RivalryWatch110Share
