00:00we got a couple of things in the mix Kentucky Derby kind of why why the hell is this a
00:04one day
00:04a year thing when the sport is year-round and what stops you from actually like getting involved
00:09but we can bring up the Pistons and I mean this I'm not being flippant there's we've said it all
00:16I mean we've sat here the last two days I thought down 3-1 they had a way better shot
00:21to win this
00:21series than what the mat said Franz Wagner out was a material change to the series you win game
00:27five you're going to win tonight you're going to win Sunday with Rico their courtside if they're
00:34winning the series I just that's what I believe I don't know what else I can say you guys can
00:41tell
00:41me your confidence level but I don't have keys to the game it's simple the key to the game is
00:47Orlando's
00:48second best player and the primary defender on Cade Cunningham in second halves is dead there's your key
00:53to the game whatever blood oath you have with the basketball gods the sun has shined on your cheeks
01:00and the second best player for the other team died it's over Orlando does not have the bench
01:06they do not have other players they're a top heavy team so you either take advantage of this and salvage
01:13a level of dignity by getting to the second round or you're one of the biggest frauds in the history
01:19of
01:19league there's no in between I believe it'll be the former they're going to win the series
01:24they will survive the scare and they'll get through so I lean on Rico Kenny and David what else can
01:32we
01:33say can we say that as later this is a new game we're playing called what else can I say
01:39go ahead
01:41you can guarantee that they're going to win the game like that's what I believe I don't want me to
01:45tell you not I I understand for me I look at this tonight is the night that this is going
01:53to be
01:53Orlando's night to close this thing out this is Orlando playing in front of their home crowd whether
01:57it's Rockets or not it's still their gym their home crowd and what you can't do is get beat by
02:04Jamal Kane you can't get beat by a try hard coming off the bench and lighting you up you can't
02:11let that
02:11happen if Bancaro beats he's good he's supposed to but you can't let like Bain come out there and
02:21hit seven eight threes you have to that's what you have to guard against and for the Pistons
02:26you're going to need guys to step up and do some things that they do here at the LCA you're
02:32going
02:32to need to see a sort Thompson go out there and play the way that he did getting the 16
02:37rebounds
02:38and playing the defense that he did hey I know we keep bringing it up all the time but Jalen
02:43Duren
02:44kind of needs you to step up if you were ever going to do it we kind of need it
02:48right now this is the
02:49game where I'm not even saying go out and give me 20 can you get me to 16 can you
02:55do that can you
02:57spread the wealth and not score at all in the first five minutes let's take a little bit of the
03:01heat off
03:02of Tobias coming off of that ankle don't know how bad it is and I don't know how long he'll
03:07be able
03:08to play consistently but you need somebody else to really step up and yeah Duren this is your time
03:15man you go out there and you win this series nobody's going to question whether or not the
03:20Pistons should pay you or not uh wrong well I'm just saying fans will say well look he carried them
03:28okay guess what fans are idiots let's be better okay stop stop he's had a horrible series dude
03:34stop no no and I'm saying if you step up in the next two games who cares now make an
03:40argument of
03:40hey guys I am that guy okay make the argument you'll lose in court you want to pay him five
03:46at 200 you be at the front of that I didn't say you pay him Mike but I'm saying if
03:49he steps up in
03:50the next two games you could at least make an argument because you could say okay lunch time
03:54money time game six game seven you showed up money money time money time I'm sorry but they
04:01shouldn't even be in this position if he's a max player he's been embarrassing they shouldn't but
04:05right now nobody's gonna say he's earned that money I guarantee I guarantee in the fanosphere they
04:11already are you can't you can't if fans ran organizations they'd go on 82 you know this
04:18the brother if if I said to you right now are you gonna pay him you know not no no
04:23way no but
04:24I said you can make an argument I didn't say you do but I'm saying at that point nobody's gonna
04:30laugh and be like yeah we just gonna go ahead and play that Orlando series you can I know you
04:36look
04:36primed to speak plus text and then callers so go ahead well Kenny I know is just gonna give us
04:41a
04:41basketball swish I understand what you're saying about Dern I think tonight though is on Cade he has
04:49to control this game tonight he cannot turn his ball over he has to control the tempo and the pace
04:55for the Detroit Pistons everything goes through him I don't care about Dennis I don't care about
05:02Dern whatever they want to do show up fine Harris fine will continue to do what he's doing because
05:07I'm not worried about the ankle injury with him I think he's going to play I think he's going to
05:10continue to do what he what he has done all series Cade has to control things so if Dern wants
05:16to be a
05:16part of it well then Cade can make him a part of it whatever but it's all on Cade tonight
05:22he wins
05:23and loses his game for the Pistons period see David I and I guess I've already baked in Cade
05:29around 40 points that's a given I need somebody else because he's going to do exactly what you're
05:35saying ball's going to go through him he's going to score all the points he's going to have to carry
05:40this team because can somebody help him can somebody pick up a bag or two and help him carry the
05:44luggage does he have to carry everything I just haven't seen that all series though I haven't
05:49seen it all series with anybody else other than Tobias Harris he has provided a little bit and so
05:55they win or lose based on the turnovers that Cade has if he can try and he doesn't waste possessions
06:02with turnovers they'll be just fine but if he continues to turn that ball over the way he had
06:08in those losses then yeah it's over tonight text and then we'll get to the callers we got callers
06:13about the derby we got callers about the Pistons and again what else needs to be said that hasn't
06:17been said and if you don't believe they're going to do it say it I don't think it's some crime
06:21if
06:22you don't believe they're going to win I just I'm telling you Wagner being out dude this is not
06:27football this is not where one injury I don't I'm not going to allow an excuse it's basketball
06:33it's their second best guy why did Orlando suck all year Franz missed 47 of the last 51 games
06:38they can't replace them they're dead if you lose to this version it only makes your fraudulence worse
06:45go ahead David the Pistons can focus on stopping Wendell Carter and Paulo I don't think Desmond
06:52Bain can shoot the lights out every game they'll be just fine the Magic are done without Wagner
06:58Orlando is doing a blackout tonight so they seem like it's going to be the Pistons funeral but I think
07:03that's going to go the other way Pistons in seven someone else says the key to the Pistons winning
07:09tonight is scoring more points of the Magic insert Kenny's eye right there yeah I know I'm just
07:15waiting for the Warren just waiting for the sideline reporter interviews hey what'd you think of the
07:20first quarter we sucked I mean like that's where I loved Popovich because he just didn't placate to
07:26this nonsense hey coach you're down by five what do you need to do in the second half score at
07:31least score
07:32things go ahead David uh someone says gentlemen for me and you can make fun of me if you want
07:38but it's Duncan Robinson he needs to hit those shots coming off the screen to draw more attention to him
07:44yeah so that opens things up for I'm not gonna make fun of that he's your only true shooter
07:50yeah you're on the road yeah three or four triples from Duncan on seven eight nine attempts
07:56it definitely matters in a series that largely points have been at a premium I'm never gonna
08:01laugh at that if he's not shooting he can't play it'll be a minus 20 we know he can't play
08:08defense
08:08oh but then you know what I'm saying I would never laugh at that yes it would be massive oh
08:14yes it
08:14would be Duncan that's why we flew you down here go shoot ball that that right there that's coaching
08:21shoot ball piston should not pay JD I agree with Mike trash performance in the postseason
08:28I don't like see anything from him tonight that is Dave in Detroit uh someone else says uh Jim from
08:34starting high exactly says can Levert make a layup at all he averages about four to five missed layups
08:40a game that counts for eight to ten points we need him to stop missing those I I need Levert
08:47to not be
08:47here with this team that's what I need why did we give him 15 million for next year I have
08:52no clue
08:53uh-oh what a mistake that I mean listen ultimately this and this is where I try to defend JB
08:58Bicker
08:59Steph the only thing I've really come down on him for was the lineup to start the fourth quarter of
09:03game three other than that I think about this how sweet would Steve Kerr look if his answer to his
09:10problems was Javante Green and Karis Levert you don't have to say like all these coaches people want
09:16a hero worship give me a break tell you one thing JB might have had more answers than Joe
09:23Missoula last night it looked like he was in a coma I know nobody cares I keep trying to tell
09:28you the
09:28Celtics are soft I got a different word for him but I can't say it at least they didn't look
09:34as
09:34blank cat at least they blank cats yeah but the hawk said wait watch this that was unreal I at
09:41home
09:41that was that was truly unbelievable is the only word I can offer you for what that was last 40
09:47to
09:4715 after the first quarter it was 70 to 25 David I think I saw a coach reading a bible
09:53in the huddle
09:53like we need prayer we need something we needed the power outage from the super bowl niners and
09:59raven somebody just please where's Beyonce when you need her anything 248-539-9797 okay we'll get to
10:09the people coming up next take care of some business a little bit of derby a little bit of
