00:06our number two good to have you with us if you're looking for draft talk we just wrapped about 45
00:11good minutes of it on the odyssey rewind let's get to game two with the pistons this is where
00:17i'm at i don't know where you're at that's the fun of this i expect you to play your best
00:22game
00:22of the season i expect you to come out light a garbage can on fire and crack this team over
00:27to head with it this is a league game when you are the one seed and you lose game one
00:33which is
00:35unfathomable look teams that lose game one lose 80 of the series now that's kind of a misnomer a
00:42little bit it's not totally accurate is that yeah lower seeded teams lose series and they usually
00:47lose game one my point is if you want me to be confident if you want me to feel like
00:54you are
00:54the better team you come out tonight and you win this game with with a level of authority with a
01:00level of game control because if you don't forget about losing if if this is a dog fight tonight
01:06in a game where orlando these are men not machines they've already come to detroit and it's mission
01:12accomplished they got a game yeah if this thing is a game with three minutes to go in the fourth
01:17quarter
01:17make no mistake about it you're in deep duty so i want to know like that to me i expect
01:25the
01:25pistons played their best game of the season huh yeah i mean you kind of heard the confidence in
01:29jaylen duran as he talked to the media yesterday and and he didn't guarantee a victory but pretty
01:35much said look we're gonna come out here what you said we're gonna come out here we're gonna show up
01:39this team has to mike because you're right if you're orlando you're going back we're best case
01:46you're one one and you stole the series now you get to play all the games in orlando and hopefully
01:52you can end this thing in six but if you're the pistons you have to win this is a must
01:59win
02:00because i don't think you want to go down oh two to orlando it's like saying you don't want to
02:05have
02:05a piano dropped on your head rico of course you don't want to go down oh no i'm saying but
02:09that's
02:09why i'm saying this is because i was kind of teetering like is this really a must win but yeah
02:14it is
02:15because you don't want to use must win all the time my point is the the comments we had after
02:19game one where we said look the magic aren't physically intimidated they have four of the
02:23top six players they're not a typical eight seed all those things are going to be 100 true if you
02:28struggle tonight even if you struggle and win it will give me great trepidation for the rest of the
02:33series you are supposed to bury this team right true true but and i think this is a game where
02:39fair unfair this is a durin game this is a game where he shows hey guys forget about game one
02:45i am that guy i am that guy who wants to make a lot of money and i am the
02:50second best player on this
02:51team and i'm going to lead this team to a victory tonight i expect big things out of jaylen durin
02:56tonight because you got silenced in game one yeah well it's part of the game plan i mean rico they're
03:02going to they're going to clog the paint and durin is tethered to the basket so he can't really do
03:07more like that's why look i don't want to redo yesterday's show and i know you don't either
03:11that's why i just say look take a pause before you say pay him whatever he wants five at 200
03:16for a guy
03:17that has no ability to create and if they clog the paint there's no room for him and he can't
03:23do
03:23anything no he'll shoot it more than four times tonight i'd be stunned if he didn't have a better game
03:27but i i just don't think it's going to greatly change he is who he is it's not like all
03:32of a
03:32sudden you go look i'm going to step back and knock down 18 footers tonight we're going to space
03:36the floor you can't do that right but mike this is also a little bravado game his man who got
03:40challenged in game one and i think he's going to want to show hey i'm better than this and let
03:46me show
03:46you what i'm going to do in game two i want to know where you guys are at with it
03:50you're a piston fan i
03:51mean look this is a league game you're supposed to win this game you're supposed to win this game
03:56handily you are almost double figure favorites if you don't if you struggle if we are under four
04:02minutes in the fourth quarter and this is a two possession game let me tell you something that
04:05says a lot about the series because that is not how tonight is supposed to go if it goes that
04:11way it
04:11means orlando is just as good as you it means you match up horribly against them it means you aren't
04:17what you think you are tonight i'm with rico there's a bit of bravado to this a good word it
04:22is like this
04:23you should answer the bell tonight and cripple this team that's it i want to know what you guys
04:30have and if you're not confident that's fine but i do expect for as much as i differ with piston
04:36fan
04:36on what they think of their team i expect this group who thrives on effort and intensity and physicality
04:45they kind of got b slapped in game one okay it was what what does the five fingers say to
04:51the face
04:52that's what game one was right orlando took that championship belt that you walk around with
04:56and put it to ass just put that away yeah god 248-539-9797 david you're staring at me and
05:04i'm not
05:04comfortable with it no angry what have i done oh you haven't done anything um i'm not expecting the
05:11reverse of game one meaning i don't expect the pistons to leave the entire game and just run
05:16away with it like orlando did it was three nothing and then we never got the lead i'm not expecting
05:21that but we should control this game we should have full control over this game the entire time
05:28whether we're up by eight up by five that we should really have no doubt in this game there could
05:34be a
05:34little bit of back and forth because that's how the nba games go there'll be a back and forth in
05:38the
05:38third quarter or whatever i get that but we should have full control that in the fourth quarter you
05:43need to be up by double figures and exert your dominance because if you don't i think that is
05:47pretty damn telling about where this series is headed you want to say game one's a fluke you want to
05:52say
05:52orlando can't do it twice you want to say you couldn't play worse if you want any or all of
05:57those
05:57things to be true you got to do your damn job tonight you start you struggle and you lose this
06:02game
06:02you'll be praying just for the opportunity for a game so it's not even just about losing if you win
06:08by one last second all this stuff then i'm like okay great we won but what is going on here
06:14there's questions would still be in my head so yeah control this game
06:20two four eight five three nine nine seven nine seven i'm with you man i look at this as i
06:26i think
06:26that this is a manhood got challenged and you have to come out here and and it has just to
06:32be
06:34dare i say a cookies disco double digit that's what i'm saying you need to show yeah forget about
06:40game one guys this is detroit and we're not rolling over where so so so where where's uh jimmy
06:46hart the mouth of the south aka piston fan oh where are you oh the pistons won't get where are
06:53you
06:53you talk all your mess now you're down 1-0 and what you turtle i'll say it with a chest
06:59i'm the one
07:00saying i expect you to play your best game of the season tonight and blow the doors off this team
07:04where are you at all you talkers and your stupid championship belts and your bs where are you no
07:12i mean this is what i can't stand when fans do this crap you want to talk it talk it
07:16but don't just do
07:17it when it's convenient have that same energy when you're down 1-0 and let's talk because if tonight
07:23is close yeah i think that's an indictment on you because it shouldn't be yeah yeah because i'm with
07:30you i not only do you you need to win you got a disco this thing you need to put
07:36your imprint take
07:37this series back going to orlando to show them you got your one but we're about to get a gentleman's
07:43sweep in here that's that's right it's a tone setter i mean it's different if you win game one
07:47and you lose a game two well you saw it last night i mean when binyama cracks his skull off
07:52off the hardwood it infinitely changes that game but whatever they lost the celtics you realize celtics
07:58are three and eight their last 11 in game twos at td bank north they shot about 10 for 100
08:03from deep
08:04horrific loss but it's different when you win game one when you are down 1-0 and you are this
08:10big
08:10favorite damn it orlando is human if you come out tonight and buzz saw them man they're already
08:20gonna go to the damn airplane and if you can't do it or you don't do it no i do
08:25think that's the
08:25point we start to i don't want to get hung up in words i don't quite like panic and i
08:30don't quite
08:31like concern it's somewhere in between i'd actually be concerned if they won but it was a nail biter
08:37tonight no that that would tell me right this is not one v8 these two teams are basically the same
08:44right or the pistons do their job win by 16 dominate the game have a dannis jenkins house party in
08:52the
08:52fourth quarter and it tells me we have re-established a little bit of who we are paul yeah i'm
08:58with you
08:58i think that what you're looking for mike is what i said for the tigers at the beginning of the
09:03year an
09:03eyebrow raise not necessarily concern but just one of those like rock yes okay got it little ken that
09:11was for you kenny it's one of the only wrestling references i know but yeah i this is i i
09:20need you
09:21to put your what this tells me what this tells me is piston fans are scared that's what this tells
09:26me
09:26you can just say it big bad piston fans big magic where are you at i mean it's just reality
09:34game two tonight is all that matters on the sports calendar there is nothing else lord knows the red
09:39wings can't join the party and the draft is tomorrow tonight is your night it should be a raucous crowd
09:45this is a bounce back spot you are supposed to win this game and with authority so tell me do
09:50you expect
09:51what i expect because right now what you're telling me is you're pussycats okay you're a costa you're a
09:59cat enthusiast and i don't know why it is that way a little bit of concern because i think i
10:06i think
10:07they saw what we saw they saw that wow um maybe the regular season wasn't is you know it's not
10:16the
10:16same as the playoffs like we've been saying that the regular season is fine you went out there and
10:21you did your job and nobody's saying hey tank like the rest of the league did you tried you played
10:27and you got rewarded for it but with that reward became that became the one seed and now i don't
10:33feel
10:33sorry for you it's like when jeremy was like well you know it was a little bit of rust you're
10:36the
10:36one seed so i'm not gonna say oh it's okay and no no go out there and show why you
10:44dominated from
10:44wire to wire the east that's what i want to see i want to see that team tonight and that
10:50team needs
10:50to show up if that team shows up now orlando goes back to orlando saying maybe the game one was
10:57a
10:57fluke and i think the pistons are better than us because that's that's the mentality you need to
11:02install with the magic yeah and and you know whether you want to call it playing better you want to
11:07say
11:07it's adjustment strategy game planning whatever you call it i don't care if orlando has answers for
11:14whatever you bring to the table tonight make no mistake you're in trouble like real trouble no
11:19i know because tomorrow's show will be all the blame game but i don't know that orlando will
11:24have answers i'm saying if i want people to hear what i'm saying and not just hear what they want
11:28to
11:28hear if you win close tonight no one's going to apologize for it but if you win and this is
11:34like
11:34a thriller i think that says a lot more about you than you're willing to admit now if you go
11:42out and do
11:43your damn job all right you know what we're bummed about game one this series is probably going to go
11:48an extra game maybe we end up in a game seven i still think you win the series man i
11:52swear to god
11:52if they win close tonight no i actually think they lose the series and i mean now close i'm not
11:58talking
11:58like nine or ten or less yeah like if it's final possession orlando's got a chance to tie in a
12:03game
12:03two when they already came in here and beat your ass wired you i'm sorry that that's going to say
12:08something about you and and don't waste my time calling in about style but it's not style it's about
12:14proving you're better no bro it's a message and tonight needs to be a message game that forget about
12:20what you saw we're better than you we're going to show you that we're better than you and yeah we'll
12:25just have to come and close this thing out in game five here in detroit that's all you did
12:29248-539-9797 piston fan mighty quiet that's not a good look for such a mouthy fan base
12:36248-539-9797 piston fan base
12:36248-539-9612
12:36248-539-9612
