all right five o'clock hopefully your workday is done we'll try to get you uh get you home so look

we've got a topic that a lot of people are passionate about but it's not what you would expect

we open the show with pistons i am going to mix that in the tigers the beaning fromber all of it we

covered it odyssey.com rewind for that.

Before I get back to this Austin Matthews thing, from a piston standpoint, here's your headline.

And it's just to me, that was a plus.

That is the best way you could start a series.

It was a tone setter.

I thought the Pistons played the best they could play.

40% from deep.

Win on the offensive glass plus six. Force north of 20 turnovers while you stay lower on that spectrum. Plus eight or nine, I forget. You had 31 points off turnovers. And you got

legitimate scoring not only from Tobias, Duncan Robinson,

with the best he could ever play, and you win the game. And now you got Donovan Mitchell,

calling out to the refs trying to do some messaging. Hey, you put them on their heels. But the one

thing I'll say is it was an A plus.

I asked a question about sustainability.

If they could play this way every night, they can win the east.

The question is, can they?

How much of what they did is sustainable?

The other end was we talked about when I used it to benefit you, you didn't say anything.

But I use it today just to say, hey, before we go crazy calling for sweeps, as good as you

played, why was that game tied at 93?
