00:01what an absolute pathetic showing by the cleveland cavaliers
00:06swept out of their building blown out again spare me the analytics they didn't show up for
00:12the eastern conference finals well they didn't show up after they blew the game one yep that's
00:19what turned everything around you realize they won i think every series the knicks did on the road
00:26by like an average score of 39 points the knicks are on a tear yes they've won 11 straight playoff
00:33games just the fifth team ever to win 11 straight games in a single postseason and to get to the
00:39finals winning by 19 points per game is the largest in nba history they're rolling now some of that is
00:45boy has this east been bad and i'm looking at it from a pistons fan standpoint going we were the
00:52one seat in this east yeah we screwed up yeah i feel worse watching the postseason because
00:58cleveland shouldn't even be in the eastern conference finals and i believe the pistons
01:03would have given them a much better eastern conference finals they probably would have given
01:07them at least a game there's no doubt about it defended it wouldn't have been a runaway train
01:12every game the way the pistons showed up for game seven to get there i don't know but that was
01:16the
01:16outlier stoney okay okay this team defended that's why game seven was so jarring right this team they
01:22took the the the knicks games personal this season correct that was a game that that they
01:27wanted so badly that i wanted so badly so it kills me to watch cleveland go in there and get
01:32decapitated i know it was i don't think the pistons would have fared better yeah they'd fare better
01:37i still think the knicks would have won because the knicks are they've changed their game the last
01:43couple months even before the regular season ended they actually play some defense towns is
01:47passing them but they're a much better team and they're deeper than i ever thought because shamic
01:51coming off the the knicks are really good he didn't miss and i thought they were good you know all
01:57season except when they played the pistons and the pistons you know last year the pistons won i
02:02believe three out of four two out of three from them so all right we're gonna you know we'll beat
02:07the
02:07we'll beat the knicks in in the playoffs and they didn't which shows the regular season doesn't mean squat
02:12i know but i have a hard time believing the knicks are a juggernaut is that on me yeah maybe
02:18because they have the clutches player in the best in basketball right now and they got guys who are
02:23playing really well finally like i don't dispute that they're they're looking the part they're
02:28winning these games in blowout fashion i have a hard time believing there's some juggernaut and
02:31that's what kills me as a pistons fan is knowing my team squandered a real shot because i don't feel
02:37like i think whoever comes out of the west is going to punk the knicks i think they'll win
02:41depending depending everything depends on injuries i mean if oklahoma city excuse me
02:45eventually wins this series and the the really good jayla williams still doesn't play and we'll
02:50find out if he's playing tonight or a.j mitchell you know i think the knicks because they're healthy
02:56have a really good chance health determines a lot of stuff i mean you look at even sacramento
02:59i mean harper came back a little bit the andre fox came back a little bit by the aaron fox
03:04but
03:04they're not 100 healthy either the knicks they're healthy they're going to be rested
03:09and i don't know i like i think they actually have a shot i never even thought in a wildest
03:14dream
03:15that a team from the east could actually think about winning it but the way they're playing i
03:19think they they're not going to win it but i think they have a shot i think this is going
03:24to be 99 all
03:24over again spurs in five i i truly maybe i'm the the hater here i don't see it with the
03:30knicks
03:31and it hurts me even more as a pistons fan now i suppose don't be seduced by the regular season
03:37like the organization was okay that's fair in the regular season they blew out the knicks yes they
03:43beat them by an average of 24 points per game i'm not suggesting that's what would have happened and
03:46it would have been the pistons in a romp but man do i think they would have put up more
03:50of a fight
03:50than cleveland i think they probably won a couple games and hell at that point like i'm right there on
03:55the doorstep so there's two types of fans there's the fan that says i feel better watching the
04:02playoffs play out because i know we're far away and we learned a valuable lesson and we weren't going
04:06to win anyway there's the fan that feels worse and says man did we squander a great opportunity i
04:13wonder which fan you are in listener land well do you feel better or worse having watched the
04:18playoffs since the pistons have been eliminated 248-539-9797 i do feel a little worse because of the
04:24blowouts that have occurred in the series um but i don't think that they would have beaten the
04:31knicks the way the knicks are playing so they would have been at the same spot as where cleveland is
04:37they would have looked a lot better and tougher than cleveland that's for damn sure and there's value
04:42to getting another run in the playoffs oh i know you can still learn these same lessons losing in the
04:46eastern conference finals no i i get it and that's what they should have been in eastern conference
04:50hopefully the organization will learn the lessons and you know make some adjustments that they need
04:55more people who can put the ball in the hoop text coming in says i'm not saying the knicks and
05:01calves
05:01was scripted dot dot dot but i think the nba backed the wrong horse in cleveland i think the nba
05:07thought
05:07cleveland would give them a better series they were wrong john in livonia okay first of all why would
05:12you think that the nba would be backing cleveland the no if the nba was scripting it which they
05:19weren't no again the pistons blew it they had it they would rather have detroit who played the knicks
05:26so much better you would think so although cleveland does have regardless what you think of them more
05:31quote star power to more people with harden and uh and donovan mitchell but no i don't i'd push back
05:39on that a little bit too who was on the first team all nba no i understand that but for
05:44the action
05:44the person who doesn't really follow basketball is just watching for the playoffs you know people
05:50are not everybody knows kate cunningham if you're just a average guy i mean i suppose i'm just talking
05:56about the name value of of hard the guy's on gq he's on slam magazine he's all nba he's the
06:01best
06:02player in the conference i mean at some point people aren't going to wake up to him i'm not blaming
06:05you
06:06no i know but i i just i don't think the nba cares that much about cleveland is my point
06:13yeah
06:14guys seems like the calves were planted to play the knicks because the pistons would have mopped
06:18them it's almost like the knicks cinderella story has been in place 27 years later type of championship
06:24game jordan in a shot okay why do you think they would have mopped them do you think all of
06:27a sudden
06:27that the pistons offense would have done something you don't think look the pistons when they played
06:34the knicks last year once isaiah stewart was limited that series went the other way right it
06:39was the six game series pistons got hosed in one game there's no doubt about it the knicks are a
06:44little different i mean bridges is playing really well finally i mean i love doji anyway because he
06:51and they have guys who play in both both ends of the court they're defending well as well and i
06:57look i
06:57can't stand the knicks uh but brunson's the clutchest player in the sport right now yeah and
07:04they're they're better that's we just have to face it and and i don't want to hear about the regular
07:08season that we blew them out three times it doesn't make a difference regular season means squat
07:15tech says you say the calves are pathetic but the pistons are worse and lost the pistons were a fraud
07:20signed steve i'm thrilled the calves got embarrassed this should be a wake-up call to langdon we aren't
07:27close knicks would have swept us too they're rolling signed ryan the knicks are on a roll i don't know
07:32if
07:32i don't think they would have swept the pistons but they would have won the series i think i think
07:36the majority of pistons fans going into these playoffs wanted the knicks yes they wanted them even after
07:42their orlando series they want them during the cleveland series because they thought they would beat them
07:46i don't think they would have beat them no neither do i and is it because the knicks are good
07:51or because
07:51the pistons aren't good enough both yes i really believe both the knicks have found a different level
07:58of playoff basketball that we didn't see coming before the playoffs correct they're trouncing teams
08:04yeah i think they're taking advantage of a bad east which maybe you could say the pistons are part of
08:10the bad east after watching the postseason but man does it get me because i felt like that should have
08:14been the pistons taking advantage of a bad east look the knicks took advantage of you know remember
08:20in their first round they were let down two to one in atlanta and people wanted mike brown you know
08:26you know fired and things like that and they haven't lost since uh and they're they they're blowing out
08:32people they are in a row now we'll we'll be able to maintain i don't think so but you know
08:37you never
08:38know let me give you the payoff to that stat i said they're the fifth team to go 11 straight
08:42in a
08:42single postseason yeah of the other four teams two won the title two didn't yeah i don't think
08:50they're gonna win the title the teams that did it you had the 89 lakers who lost to the bad
08:57boys yes
08:58you had the 99 spurs who won against the new york knicks by the way with that and that's the
09:05last
09:05time the knicks made the finals they had to go against young duncan imagine if they had to go
09:09the spurs they're gonna go against wimby young wimby uh the 01 lakers won 11 or more in a row
09:14and
09:14won the nba title that was against your sixers yes iverson the sixers won the first game iverson
09:20did the uh the crowd the step over tyloo yeah but yeah and then the only other teams who have
09:25done
09:25it the 17 warriors who won the title nick's just the fifth team 248-539-9797 we got the two
09:33grand
09:34slam coming up at 7 25 win some money with us it's 97 1
