00:08okay uh pistons with a huge win last night up to nothing in this series with cleveland
00:14and detroit have they changed your listening and watching habits like do you always pay attention
00:21when's the next piston game how have they changed you has this team taken over detroit
00:27tom millican on the morning show had this theory that they are on in the process of taking over
00:32the city where the city catches a team's fever like the red wings did when they first
00:36climbed the ladder and actually made it to the stanley cup like the 2006 tigers did the 2023 i
00:42mean we saw with the pistons because teams will be dormant in a town they'll be the hardcore fans
00:47but teams will be dormant in a town for a while and then something happens and you remember how
00:52much fun it can be and they take over with car flags and four hours all four hours of a
00:59talk
00:59show dedicated to that topic and right now it feels like yeah we're going through it with the pistons
01:05we want to know you want to know you have you gone from being moderately interested or even
01:12uninterested in the detroit pistons they won 14 games a couple years ago you know and now look where they
01:18are long way to go in this series but have they changed you 248-539-9797 in the meantime i
01:28always
01:28cite this moment of something that happened that was rather significant and we blew it off but we
01:35didn't know at the time and back in the day all press releases got emailed out to media members
01:42and the one i always cite and i don't have the exact date of the press release in front of
01:46me is
01:46detroit tigers signed jd martinez to minor league deal and we got these things all the time and
01:52unless it was like a big trade or like maglio or some sort of massive oh my god pudge rodriguez
02:00right we didn't mention it we didn't mention them signing jd martinez to our minor league deal
02:06i think i was out and has like mvp type seasons and was huge for detroit
02:13trajan langdon got hired in may of 2024
02:19his first moves okay he drafts ron holland
02:28that's his first first round pick ron was pretty big for them last night
02:34the draft ends he signs defensively for yes he signs danis jenkins an undrafted free agent
02:43on july 6th okay so the day they signed ron holland to his multi-year contract
02:48they signed danis jenkins to a two-way contract
02:52on july 8th he did something that i think people probably rolled their eyes and said not again
02:59so two days after he signs ron holland and undrafted free agent danis jenkins he signs tobias
03:05harris and i think probably detroit it's like whatever seen been there done that seen that
03:13on july 9th one day later he claims paul reed off waivers from the philadelphia 76ers
03:19i can guarantee we didn't mention that nor did anyone call or text about it and then two days after
03:26that
03:27he signs malik beasley beasley was a huge part of this team's success a year ago it took him from
03:34being the laughing stock of the league to what they yeah going for 14 wins to 44 wins yep
03:41that's in a five-day period when he first took over the job and these are all moves like ron
03:47holland
03:47i'm sure got attention because he was the first round pick i can guarantee nobody called nobody texted
03:53and we did not mention the signing of undrafted free agent danis jenkins tobias might have got some
03:59text why are we doing this again right paul reed claimed off waivers from the 76ers not a mention
04:05nope and getting malik beasley might have got some attention like hey this guy can shoot threes
04:11mm-hmm that's five days in july like the first five things he did
04:17now he also drafted bobby clintman he made a trade for some draft picks but but clinton was a second
04:23round yeah i mean this is a um this is something it wasn't clinton it was chaslin here my apology
04:31anyway oh no i'm sorry one of the picks he got back he used on chaslin here so that's my
04:37bad
04:38these are totally what felt like in the moment probably insignificant and probably got treated as
04:45such they laid the foundation for what they're doing now and i'm always amazed like how big is
04:52danis jenkins for this team and you go back and you go we had no idea we had no idea
04:59what our guy was
05:00doing when he first took the job and he's still not really defined i mean what we saw at the
05:06end of
05:06the season was great and then first few games of the orlando series was a real struggle but now
05:11he's gotten back into the groove of the guy we saw the last six eight weeks of the season is
05:17he going
05:17to build off of that and be that guy can he be that running mate with with kade cunningham moving
05:22forward um because he's playing close to starters minutes even though he's not starting yep two four
05:29eight five three nine 97 97 let's go to mario next on 97 one hello mario hey guys how's it
05:37going what's
05:37up hey well i just want to say man back in like oh four oh five i was a diehard
05:43fist and fat i'm talking
05:45about i was stimulating games on nba 2k listening to the the theme song going to work right before the
05:52games getting hype and then when they traded ben wallace i kind of kind of stopped you know the team
05:58started fucking but um yeah but this distance team i'll be honest i really haven't watched them
06:04all year i've heard they were doing well and all that but it hasn't it hasn't been till like now
06:10that
06:10i started watching the games like religiously like the last i don't know four or five weeks
06:15so uh yeah they got me back man they got me back you got you got to love what you're
06:20seeing too don't
06:21yeah you know it's it's weird because i was so used to lady brown uh pistons that you know i
06:28love
06:29seeing the ball movement and but i noticed it is a different nba where they're taking more threes
06:34and all that it's kind of kind of strange like endorsing that but i mean i love seeing i'm fucking
06:39like
06:39oh sorry well all right uh point of note they didn't trade ben wallace ben wallace left in a free
06:46agent
06:46contract to sign with the uh chicago bulls yeah 248-539-9797 sometimes you can see it coming
06:54uh feedback coming into the karshan anderson inbox uh dennis and the thumb says the pistons are
06:59getting quality minutes from ron holland and green when they need them i believe that truly has been
07:04a difference maker in this round uh next text cleveland you know i throw in karis lavert too dude
07:11karis lavert knocked down two three pointers early in the game and i think what just happened
07:16is that going that's and then he basically sat on the bench the rest of the way and it's fine
07:19everybody has the role and they embrace it yeah but sometimes it's just a make or miss league and
07:24the pistons made their threes last night everyone did and clearly the calves did not they could not
07:29buy a three-pointer and uh in the playoffs especially you know when a team's not known for
07:34the three-point shooting that's something that's like a quite the bonus you know and it helped them
07:38win the last night's game shooting 50 from threes unreal for the pistons yeah it's probably not
07:43something we should count on moving forward i don't think so uh but if they're going to hit
07:47threes look out like look out now that's why you know i think this game three as we look forward
07:57here a little bit i expect cleveland to jump all over detroit early in this game all over detroit
08:05to do it or to try to oh i think they will okay i i think detroit is because he's
08:10going to battle from
08:11a deficit i think they're going to have to battle from a deficit cleveland's a good team
08:14the version of the calves that we have seen for two days i think is not truly representative of
08:20who they are and who they've been and i think detroit early is is going to have to deal with
08:26a
08:27like a absolute hurricane and then try to come back from that look i said before i think it's going
08:34to go seven games and the pistons winning seven games i hope i'm dead wrong i hope it's a sweep
08:38but the feeling i get right now because things obviously your feelings will change but i'll have
08:43to stand by the seven but i think jayland duran is going to explode in one of these two games
08:47on the road i think he is ready to bust out for a 25 and 14 game
08:53yeah i've kind of been expecting that for a while now but i'm kind of getting used to this version
08:59of
08:59jayland duran and how the pistons are finding ways i mean basically where duran has his offensive
09:05production has disappeared tobias this is picked up yeah and tobias with that drive lean in fade
09:13away jumper he leans into you and then fades away it's almost unstoppable when he's hot like i mean
09:20i guess when anybody's hot they're unstoppable in the nba they're all great but that version of tobias
09:25the 12 to 15 footer where he takes a dribble leans into you and then fades it's been so money
09:32for him
09:32in the last six games yeah those going down are great and you know look it all comes out in
09:38the
09:38wash there because i think they've missed they've missed like a handful of shots right around the
09:42rim last night whether it was jayland duran or sar thompson or whomever they missed a lot of shots
09:49that were right there and but those are countered by making shots you wouldn't expect like this fade
09:54away you know spin around jump shot or whatever uh it happens and the pistons are just they're just
10:00better right now we'll see what happens tomorrow i i think you're right i suspect cleveland is going
10:05to throw their best punch tomorrow night and they're going to have to withstand that and try to come
10:09back from it but they're more than capable and they've they've got the the experience from just
10:14you know a week ago that they can do it just so nobody's full tomorrow afternoon not tomorrow night
10:19three o'clock tip pistons in cleveland game three more your phone calls and feedback and somebody
10:24dropped off something you're going to want to sample from are you going to eat that from yesterday
10:29and they said a surprise for me oh which could be scary chips who knows thank you to officer matt
10:36we'll find out what's in the bag today at 12 35 here on 97 one
