What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2Ivey looked comfortable stepping into that 3-pointer. An encouraging sign if you’re Detroit. – 7:08 PM

Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBAPistons beat writers are going through it right now with a bunch of confused fans that Detroit is starting the five guys who make the most sense to start. – 7:04 PM

James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIIIIvey blown by, Cade turnover to start. Not ideal. – 7:04 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDNTwenty seconds into the game, Jalen Brunson drives on Jaden Ivey and hits a floater for his first Knicks points. – 7:04 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopperIt’s still long lines at concession stands but not much of a reaction to Jalen Brunson in lineup announcements — which was pretty much the same for all (although maybe a big French contingent for Fournier). – 7:01 PM

Rob Perez @WorldWideWobKnicks are on. – 7:00 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofaThe Knicks are a good measuring stick for where the Pistons are, I think. They won 37 games and missed the play-in, should be slightly better this year. – 6:56 PM

Alan Hahn @alanhahnI’ll never get tired of this iconic view. First steps in the building for the new season — my 16th covering the #Knicks, 25th covering sports here — and I always look up. Always look up. #WorldsMostFamousArena @TheGarden @KnicksMSGN @New York Knicks pic.twitter.com/8CooxcwS4K – 6:50 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontempsPistons coach said the goal for the season is to take “a step forward” both in terms of growth and play. When asked what that meant, in terms of specific goals, he smiled and said he wouldn’t be getting into that. – 5:43 PM

Tim Bontemps @TimBontempsPistons coach Dwane Casey says getting Bojan Bogdanovic from the Utah Jazz last month was “a godsend” for Detroit, and said he’s already making an impact lending his advice to the team’s young players. – 5:38 PM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2Casey says he expects Bojan Bogdanovic to provide experience and shooting for the #Pistons. “He gives us spacing, which is going to help Cade, Ivey and Saddiq grow.” – 5:38 PM

Steve Popper @StevePopperThibodeau — in midseason form — would not reveal his starting lineup for today. Assuming it’s Brunson, Fournier, Barrett, Randle and Robinson, but asked about it and Thibodeau said, “It might be.” – 5:33 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatzThibodeau said Knicks will limit minutes in the preseason opener tonight. Slightly tighter rotation in the first half and then more guys in the second, but said he wouldn’t use a “normal rotation.” – 5:22 PM

Fred Katz @FredKatzQuentin Grimes is day-to-day, Thibodeau says. Said he didn’t know what Grimes’ status would be for the Knicks’ next game. – 5:22 PM

Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeardTake it with a grain of salt, but #Pistons‘ LISTED probable starters are Cunningham, Hayes, Bey, Bogdanovic and Stewart.That could change ahead of tipoff, but that’s what’s in the game notes. – 5:21 PM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2I’ve only visited New York City three times before this week, and they were all during the summer. Over the past two days, it’s been cold, rainy and gray, and people are still everywhere walking to their respective destinations. I guess this is the real NYC experience 😅 – 2:57 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofaThe Pistons’ probable starters for tonight, per the game notes: Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, Saddiq Bey, Bojan Bogdanovic and Isaiah Stewart – 2:37 PM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2McGruder on what Ivey brings to the #Pistons: “That speed. That’s something you can’t teach. You can teach somebody to shoot the ball, to finish and stuff like that but his speed and how unselfish he is, getting in the paint and making the right plays, you can’t teach that.” – 1:43 PM

Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDNRJ Barrett came strong before the preseason opener:“. ….there’s a lot of disrespect. But that’s fine. All the guys that they want to put in front of me or whatever, I’m in their heads.”More here:nydailynews.com/sports/basketb… – 1:42 PM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2#Pistons guard Rodney McGruder’s message to DET’s rookies ahead of first preseason game:“Just have fun with it, man. It’s the same game that we’ve been playing our whole lives since we were kids. Just have that same fun and that same joy that you always had playing the game.” – 1:39 PM

Ian Begley @IanBegleyA few notes ahead of Knicks’ preseason opener, including a Cam Reddish-RJ Barrett lineup that’s been on the floor during training camp and an Isaiah Hartenstein passing target. More here: sny.tv/articles/knick… – 1:09 PM

Mike Curtis @MikeACurtis2New: Spoke to Cade Cunningham today and the #Pistons guard is looking forward to this season, mainly because he’s healthy and more comfortable.“Night and day…I don’t have those jitters or feeling like I’m going through everything for the first time.” detroitnews.com/story/sports/n… – 1:04 PM
