And we are back, folks here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTCA online,

the big 1050.com, Sam Webb, Mr. Ira Weintraub on the other side.

And so the Pistons have advanced.

The Pistons have revived some of the belief outside of Detroit in their ability to advance in the east.

Part of it is everyone's pick to emerge in the east.

Mine included once the Pistons went down 3-1.

The Boston Celtics are done.

They're out.

So, you know, we talked about how rare it is for a 3-1, the Boston Celtics are done. They're out. So, you know, we talked about how rare it is for a 3-1 team,

a team down 3-1 to come back and win. The Celtics were up 3-1 in that series, and they lost it to the Philadelphia 76ers.

I mean, you talk about coaching malpractice.

This was, in some ways you understand Joe Missoula.

And this is John B-Lines guy, I was Tela Ira in the break.

You know, hopefully John isn't listening. Sometimes he is, and it like, when I see him, he's saying, hey, you remember you told me the pistons or a train wreck? He still remembers. I was going on. You weren't wrong, Sam. Yeah, I know. I know. I was like, hey, well, and he went to another trade wreck.

And coincidentally, Sam, those two train wreck organizations are going to face each other the next round of the playoffs.

Exactly right.

Joe Missoula came out of that series talking about, hey, nothing wrong with what we do that.

Joe L&B, just he came back and he was the difference and that was it.

When you're up 3-1 with a former finals MVP on your team, as much firepower as they have,

even without Jason Tatum, who sat out the last

game, because look, at the end of the day, your, your biggest concern with him is his career,

not this year. Career, not year. So when he says that, and he's basically saying, well, the only thing that we need is a healthy Jason Tatum, what he can't say, what he won't say is their style of play is what doom them.
