Mike Curtis: Monty was furious at the podium. Spoke for 1 min. “Enough is enough. We’ve done it the right way. We’ve called the (NBA). We’ve sent in clips. We’re sick of hearing the same stuff over & over again. We had a chance to win & a guy dove into Ausar’s legs.” Says it’s an abomination

Donte DiVincenzo on Monty Williams calling the no-call “an abomination:” “You can go back the whole game and nitpick calls. Do I think we dodged a bullet overall? Yes. I have great respect for Monty & everybody over there. Like I said, we dodged a bullet with the win.” – 10:48 PM

Insane ending in Knicks/Pistons. Think Monty Williams may have a point about the foul, but the Knicks just find a way. – 9:55 PM

No idea how DiVincenzo wasn’t called for a foul on Ausar Thompson near side, which led to a steal and Hart’s game-winner. Monty Williams was aghast postgame, although Detroit’s miserable defensive rebounding was ultimately as responsible for the loss. – 9:53 PM

Knicks win, 113-111, on a crazy sequence of no-calls. Monty Williams is irate and for good reason. Donte DiVincenzo basically tackled someone. – 9:49 PM

Monty Williams on the message after a loss like that: “I was proud of the way we hung in there. Our defense in the second half if the benchmark of how we want to play.” – 10:30 PM

10-man rotation so far for Monty Williams. We may not see much of Shake Milton and Mike Muscala unless something drastic happens. – 8:48 PM

Monty Williams on matching Quentin Grimes and Marcus Sasser’s minutes:
“I think we have to wait and see how that works out.”
He also said he hopes the chemistry from their college days at Houston translates. – 6:22 PM

Monty Williams says Quentin Grimes is available, but he won’t play a full complement of minutes.
“We hope that his skill set complements what we do and we’ll also let him do some things that he and I have talked about — handling the ball.” – 6:18 PM

Clutch Points: “I love Cade’s game. He’s really good, he’s athletic, he’s strong. I think that’s really where he’s going to be a problem for many years to come. You talk about his size, his ball-handling ability, his play-making ability, and just how strong he is. They got a strong nucleus of their core with him, Duren, Ivey, the Thompson twin. They’re going to be good when they figure it out playing together.“ Paul George on Cade Cunningham and the Pistons (via @TomerAzarly ) pic.twitter.com/pysoECMKaY -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / February 10, 2024
Omari Sanfoka II: Simone Fontecchio isn’t listed on Detroit’s injury report, meaning he’ll likely make his debut. Troy Brown Jr. and Shake Milton (trade pending) are questionable. Cade Cunningham (left knee injury management) and Ausar Thompson (left ankle sprain) are probable. -via Twitter @omarisankofa / February 10, 2024
