Five o'clock, nice to have you with us.

0:02.7

A multitude of topics.

0:04.2

We're going to bring something back, continue the Lions conversation, and then apparently

0:08.9

Kenny just, I think we need to do this for Kenny before we get to the callers.

0:14.6

Kenny, I want you to play the audio because Kenny was throwing, physically throwing items behind the glass.

0:21.5

Todd McClellan was asked about the team struggles in March,

0:24.4

basically how they've been a clown car down the stretch and have missed the playoffs.

0:31.6

Here's the audio, and then I'm going to let Kenny speak because he's very emotional about this.

0:36.4

It's not even March. First of all, I'm not going to answer. And by the way, in Jeremy's update, he says he's tired of March questions. I'm sorry. I'm tired of the March results. Read the room, dude. What do you mean you're tired of March questions? This is what happens when you're bad in March. You get March questions and you're going to have to answer them. I'm sorry that it hurts your feelings and that you're tired about it. Guess what? We as a collective fan base are tired of what we've seen in March for the last, call it a decade. Jeez, man. When I hear, and by the way, Todd McClellan in my mind, he's actually done more good than harm in this.

1:10.9

I think he's been actually pretty good for this team. Since he's got here, the teams looked a little bit better each year. And I don't really have an issue with Todd McClellan. But this is a symptom of everything we talk about, whether it's the lions, whether it's the Red Wings, whether it's the Tigers or Pistons. This is the attitude that these guys have. I don't know what it is about this city that turns people this way.

1:30.0

But when I hear a quote like that, I'm tired of March questions. Well, I'm sorry. I'm tired of March results. What do you want me to say? That's Kenneth Cod. Those were all the chairs. Am I off base here? Am I wrong? No, I didn't interrupt you.

1:45.5

I'm not arguing with you. You're not wrong. I laugh at stuff like that. I'm not going to answer the question. Okay. Well, that's fine. I mean, I don't mind what he's saying, how they're going to write their own story and we're going to go play. That part of it's fine. That part of it, I understand.

2:00.5

I think he would have been better served while saying, listen, respectfully, while I understand the question, I'm not answered. We're going to answer with our play. That's a much better way to handle it. You could have said, I'm going to show you what we're going to do in March. It's going to be better. Okay. And here's how. Then issue two, if you were excited about OKC and Pistons tonight, you better find alternative

2:22.4

programming because the NBA is struck again.

2:25.8

Pistons are now out to a 12.5 point favorite.

2:29.2

No SGA, no Jalen Williams, no Hartenstein, no Caruso, no Holmgren, and more.

2:36.2

It's basically second half of a back-to-back, and O.KC is just running a G-League team out there.

2:42.2

And that's not the Pistons fault, but as a fan, if you spent good money, two, three, four hundred bucks to be in the lower bowl tonight, you wasted your money.

2:51.2

It's a G league game.

2:52.5

And this is symptomatic of the NBA and no other league.

2:56.1

No other league has this problem.

2:58.4

None.
