00:00We've got a great spread line in this next game here.
00:02It's the Lakers and the Pistons.
00:03Lakers have been on fire, winning 12 of 13 games.
00:06They're on the road as a minus-two-point favorite right now
00:08against the Detroit Pistons, and a total of 226.5.
00:12One of the things that I get a kick out of, Joe,
00:13and let's just call it college basketball, right?
00:15Okay, time doesn't matter the whole game.
00:18Once you get under, like, two minutes,
00:19you've got to check the monitor for every .1 seconds.
00:21But apparently, you know, the .1, .2 seconds don't matter
00:24before the last minute happens.
00:26Luka Doncic gets his 16 technical.
00:28He's supposed to sit this game out.
00:29And, of course, they go, well, let's review this one.
00:31Yeah, you know what?
00:32The Lakers are doing really well.
00:33You've got a marquee game.
00:34Yeah, rescind that technical foul.
00:35Why don't they rescind the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9, 10 texts
00:40that he had always when you come up against suspension.
00:42It always gets rescinded here.
00:44Lakers are the favorite on the road, Joe.
00:46Your spread line tonight for this game.
00:48Yeah, well, apparently, the back and forth that he had there
00:51with the Orlando big man, apparently they have, I guess,
00:56some audio of what was actually said to Luka.
00:59And, yeah, they said, you know what?
01:01On second thought, it's okay.
01:03But the reality is, listen, they're red hot.
01:06They've won, what, four straight on the road, Donnie.
01:08It's not just an L.A. thing where they were winning at home.
01:11They're winning on a road.
01:12They had a three-point buzzer beater against Orlando last game
01:16to get it done.
01:17Now they've got to travel to Detroit, who's a little angry here.
01:21But they've won three straight.
01:22They've won six of their last seven.
01:24And, oh, yeah, they're not going to have Cade Cunningham steal here.
01:28So this is going to be a very good litmus test, I think,
01:31for both these teams.
01:32Can Detroit handle a team from the West in a postseason
01:36without Cade Cunningham?
01:38And it's one thing to beat the Orlando Magic.
01:41Can you beat the Detroit Pistons on their own home court?
01:45Luka and Donnie, we haven't seen a whole lot of movement
01:47outside of, what, the two-and-a-half that we're looking at right now?
01:51So, you know, are we stepping in front of this L.A. train?
01:54I think tonight might be the night.
