00:01no Cade no problem
00:03Dennis Jenkins scores 30 career
00:05high for the Pistons beat a Laker team
00:07with LeBron and Luca who had won nine
00:09in a row and John had you
00:11feeling some type of way oh yeah I mean
00:13it gave me a little confidence
00:16that if Cade's
00:17not back for that opening round series
00:20that they can actually
00:21win a series
00:22I'm not predicting a sweep
00:25or anything like that but they'll
00:27get that home win they'll win a
00:29series and
00:31buy more time for Cade
00:33to return hopefully he's
00:35back we don't have to worry about it but you
00:37beat the number three team in the west
00:38clear delineation between
00:40OKC the Spurs
00:42and then the Lakers but
00:45that's a team that was coming in here on a nine game
00:47heater Luca Dacic is doing
00:49everything he possibly can late season
00:51heroics to put his name in the
00:53conversation for MVP
00:55and they held him to 30
00:58by the way an ugly shooting night
01:00yeah he was like 11 to 29 they made him work
01:03LeBron was held scoreless in the first half
01:04finished with like 12 for the game and Luca
01:06had to hunt and work and struggle
01:09to get his 30 points
01:11Detroit's defense showed up
01:12could this be a blessing in disguise
01:15if if Cade comes back for the playoffs
01:18that in the run-up to the postseason
01:20they're being forced to reactivate the defense
01:23to play the way they had been playing for most of the season
01:26because it started to get kind of sloppy
01:28has this been the kick in the pants
01:30that they need on defense
01:31and does it give someone like
01:32Dennis Jenkins some confidence rolling
01:34as that second
01:35that second unit now has a shot creator
01:37it could be a blessing in disguise
01:39this Cade injury
01:40but he's got to come back
01:42if he doesn't come back
01:43they should still win the first round series
01:45yeah
01:45but they need him in the second round
01:47no question
01:48and in terms of the one seed
01:50whatever idiot thought that was in question
01:53I got a little panicky when he went down
01:55John it doesn't look like
01:56they're going to lose the one seed
01:57well I mean in your defense
02:00he went down with about 15 minutes to go on our show
02:03that's when we got the news
02:05that the lung was collapsed
02:06and we were trying to Google
02:09and figure out what this meant
02:13and Cade has been so important to this team
02:16I don't care what the record is
02:17when he doesn't play
02:18like he's so important to this team
02:19and they had been scuffling
02:21Boston meanwhile
02:22dropped the game
02:23on Sunday
02:24and they have to play
02:24Boston lost
02:25they're capable of losing games
02:26I thought you
02:27I thought you
02:27you said that they were going to run the table
02:29I said they'd probably lose a game
02:30the rest of the way
02:31they did
02:31and now they got OKC coming Wednesday
02:33so we don't have to do math on the radio
02:35it typically goes poorly
02:36are they going to lose two games
02:37how dare they
02:37they may even lose three
02:39John
02:39the Pistons feel very good
02:41as a one seed right now
02:44only 10 games left
02:45yeah
02:45look I
02:46would love for the Knicks
02:47to fall to the fourth seed
02:49I wasn't panicking
02:50if they lose the one
02:51because I want the Knicks
02:52in the second round
02:53but
02:53yeah
02:54you take it where
02:54you know
02:55however it goes
02:56because you want home court

03:50where do the Lions
03:50rank in points
03:51per game scored
03:52last year
03:52I understand
03:53the line isn't
03:54as good as years
03:54past
03:54but the offense
03:55hasn't been the reason
03:56we've lost games
03:57the last few years
03:58we can't ignore
03:59the pass rush
03:59we need to get guys
04:01on defense
04:01corners that
04:03we're asking to guard
04:04for five plus seconds
04:04we need to get better
04:05on the defensive
04:06line
04:06I don't disagree
04:08I mean even last year
04:10it was a top five
04:11offense
04:12but the number one
04:14asset that you have
04:15that you're paying
04:16is Jared Goff
04:18why not protect him
