00:00The Magic lead the series 1-0.
00:03Pistons 8.5-point favorites total 2-18.5.
00:07I mean, this is like the one series,
00:09and the Magic are the one team in the playoffs that I don't want to touch.
00:12I don't want to get near them.
00:14I have no idea what they're going to do on a nightly basis.
00:17I know they're really talented.
00:18If this game was played in November, I could see them winning.
00:21I could see them losing by 40.
00:23I mean, you tell me.
00:24I don't know.
00:24I'm going to stay away from this completely.
00:27Hey, man, I agree.
00:28This team is Jekyll and Hyde.
00:29We talked about it going into the playoffs.
00:31I was really low on this team even making the playoffs,
00:33and lo and behold, they prove us all wrong.
00:35They get in the playoffs, and then they win game one
00:37against the number one overall seed.
00:38So it's a bad matchup specifically for the Pistons, though.
00:42And now the pressure turns to the Detroit Pistons
00:44as the number one seed to come out tonight
00:46and play better than what we saw in game one.
00:48And I think that they're going to do that.
00:49Like you said, I don't want to touch a spread either side.
00:51I don't want to take the Pistons necessarily with the points yet
00:54until I see it.
00:55But the Magic, I think, maybe we see them return back
00:58to some of the things that we've seen from this team
01:01be inconsistent across the board,
01:03whether it be defensively or also offensively.
01:05But if Paolo Banqueiro and Franz Wagner play like they did
01:07in game one, this is a very tough team to beat.
01:09So we'll see what happens.
01:10But I really like a prop in this game,
01:12and it kind of ties into the fact that I think the Pistons
01:14are going to bounce back,
01:15and I think they're going to bounce back in a big way.
01:17And that is going to totally linchpin on Cade Cunningham.
01:19I love his points in this game.
01:2128.5 is the line I got for this at a playable minus 105 price.
01:24He was fantastic in game one, even though it didn't lead to a W.
01:28Played 40 minutes, Craig, after returning from that lapsed lung.
01:32This was the first time we've seen him in about three weeks
01:35play substantial minutes and substantial basketball,
01:38and he looked just like the MVP candidate
01:40that was kind of taking his team and carrying them all season long.
01:43So if you're a fan and you think that the Magic returned back
01:46to mean a little bit, and then also the Pistons rise to the occasion
01:50and take advantage, you do not want to go down to Orlando.
01:52Down 0-2 is the number one seed.
01:54And I think the Pistons are going to come out,
01:55led by J.B. Bickerstaff and company, and fired up in this game.
01:59And I think Cade's going to lead the charge.
02:00So I love his points in this game,
02:01and I do lean with the Pistons getting the job done.
