00:00I got some breaking news from ESPN.
00:02Shams reporting Pistons star Kate Cunningham diagnosed with a
00:08collapsed lung is expected to miss an extended period of time.
00:13Sources tell ESPN.
00:14Oh boy.
00:16They've got 14 games left in the regular season.
00:18I think you can wave by to the one seed.
00:23Boston's going to start picking up some steam now.
00:26Yeah.
00:27How serious is this?
00:29When they say extended period of time,
00:31like TJ Watt had,
00:33is it a partially collapsed lung and miss three football games?
00:36So call that three weeks.
00:38Right.
00:39Is Cade going to miss a month?
00:42Give or take more.
00:44I don't know.
00:46What is extended period?
00:47It's because that's our next concern.
00:49Like they're going to be in the playoffs.
00:51What's it?
00:52And does he have to ramp back up?
00:54I mean,
00:54conditioning.
00:54I don't know.
00:55I'll go full web MD on this.
00:56This is a good Google did.
00:58And it's a former professional athlete.
01:00You're supposed to know all this stuff.
01:01I never had a collapsed lung.
01:02I mean,
01:03my dad had one.
01:04We were working.
01:05I was just telling Heather the story like it,
01:07but he's no,
01:08obviously not a professional athlete.
01:10He wasn't playing 40 minutes a night.
01:11No.
01:12And so like in a couple of days,
01:14right?
01:14He was,
01:14he was again,
01:15breathing fine,
01:16but it does take some time.
01:18Recovery from a collapsed lung typically takes one to two weeks for mild cases.
01:22Though full recovery can take several weeks to a few months.
01:26So a few months would end his season.
01:30Right.
01:30Simple case may resolve in 48 to 72 hours.
01:35So I mean,
01:36yeah,
01:36it's,
01:36it's extended period of time.
01:37So let's call it two weeks to two months.
01:42I would hesitate a little bit to put that two months on it.
01:45What does extended period mean?
01:47I don't know.
01:47We're left to kind of fill in the blanks.
01:49Sure.
01:50Well,
01:50they're probably still trying to figure out like,
01:53first of all,
01:53how it happened and how severe it is.
01:57Right.
01:58Yeah.
01:58I mean,
01:58to me,
01:59I just be cautious at least right now to put that fear out there.
02:03Right.
02:04Cause it,
02:04it seems like I've been looking up stuff to your two.
02:07It's leaning more towards the two to four week thing.
02:10Now the factor into all this that I don't know,
02:12I'm not a doctor's how's this affect an athlete.
02:14Right.
02:15You're talking about running up and down the court.
02:16Right.
02:17And when he is back,
02:19what,
02:19what does that even mean?
02:21Exactly.
02:22Because as we sit right now here,
02:24Thursday,
02:25March the 19th,
02:26if you're out a month,
02:29that puts you into the first round of the NBA playoff.
02:35Yeah.
02:35The season ends the 12th.
02:37So you're looking at that next Saturday.
02:40So you're right around that ballpark.
02:42Yeah.
02:42A month is,
02:43and that's why I just said to caution,
02:45at least a little bit,
02:45Jim is let's,
02:46I,
02:47two months is May 19th.
02:49That's,
02:51let's hear a little bit more.
02:52And when he has,
02:53I don't know if I,
02:53did you miss where I diagnosed him?
02:55We're open discussion here.
02:57It's what we do.
02:57Look,
02:57they're three and a half games up on the one seed.
03:00They've been a 500 team.
03:01The last 10 games.
03:02I don't think it's overreacting to say the one seed is very much dwindling.
03:06Sure.
03:06Well,
03:06the one seed could be in jeopardy.
03:08There's no question about that.
03:09And this is,
03:09this is awful timing.
03:11I mean,
03:11it's,
03:11this is,
03:11this is probably worse than,
03:13you know,
03:13the Dylan Larkin,
03:14the,
03:14the night of the trade deadline.
03:17Right.
03:18Well then.
03:19I don't know better or worse.
03:20I mean,
03:21this is being the playoffs at least.
03:22And ideally he's back for the playoffs,
03:24right?
03:24The Red Wings might not make the playoffs.
03:26So it's a little different.
03:28Yes.
03:29So,
03:29but,
03:29but,
03:29but it's still,
03:31it's the timing of everything.
03:33And with 14 games left.
03:34And again,
03:35we have no idea what this means.
03:39Um,
03:39you look at some of the teams and when he missed time earlier in the year,
03:43what was one of the great things that we talked about?
03:45Cade's out.
03:46They still won.
03:46Other guys are out,
03:47but,
03:47but,
03:48but this is a different time.
03:49You mentioned it five out of the last 10.
03:51Yeah.
03:51They're just kind of hovering right now.
03:53Defense hasn't been as good,
03:55man.
03:56Yeah.
03:56That's a kick in the nuts.
03:57And then,
03:58okay.
04:00First round matchup.
04:01Cause it would be a question.
04:02Hey,
04:02can you get them back by the playoffs?
04:03What if he's still ramping up in the first round matchup?
04:06If you fall out of the one seed,
04:07that first round matchup starts to get tougher.
04:09Yeah.
04:10Boy.
04:11Yeah.
04:11This is not the news.
04:13We wanted to read.
04:14Nope.
04:14Nope.
04:15It's a deal around here.
04:16You know,
04:16seriously Larkin and this.
04:19Yeah.
04:19It's imploding these team seasons.
04:22And then you go back to the lions,
04:23especially two years ago.
04:25Yeah.
04:2515 and well,
04:2615 wins.
04:27What did we do to deserve this?
04:29We sucked for so long.
04:31Try not to be whiny here,
04:32but it's just the facts.
04:33It's like Bobby lane.
04:37He cursed the other teams too.
04:39I'm a great one championships.
04:42John,
04:43I can't believe you went there of all people.
04:46Hold on.
04:46Hold on.
04:47I'm about to give you some,
04:48some,
04:48some major spin here.
04:49Are you ready?
04:50Okay.
04:51If the Pistons fall to the two seed,
04:53you know,
04:53who's currently the three seed.
04:55Well,
04:56it's Cleveland.
04:57No,
04:57the three seat currently is the Knicks.
04:59Right.
04:59So we always talked about wanting to avoid both Boston and Cleveland.
05:04If you're the two and the Knicks are the three,
05:06it's the same thing as you being the one and the Knicks being the four.
05:10So they could still have it lay out where they only face one of Boston or
05:15Cleveland in the Eastern conference finals.
05:17It could set them up to play the Knicks in the second round.
05:19Again,
05:20you got to make sure Cade can breathe and plays in the first round and you win,
05:24but maybe that is the,
05:26the way this all still works out where they still get that favorable second round
05:29matchup against the Knicks who they have owned.
05:32I'm trying to be look,
05:33John,
05:34I'm trying to be the positive one.
05:35Look at you.
05:36A guy is half full.
05:40Let's just go to Heather.
05:41Let's go to Heather with the news.
05:42Other news.
05:42Something else.
