| 0:00.0 | And that's always the case. You get them down. I mean, we saw it in the Orlando series down by a zillion. They didn't quit. They don't quit. They're hard to bury. So let me give you four reasons. I think they're going to win tonight. And I'll lead with, this was in my notes before I even heard the J.B. Sound. All I wrote was the Pistons thrive on spite. They're hard to kill. Okay. |
| 0:24.3 | They've heard all. This was in my notes before I even heard the J.B. All I wrote was the Pistons thrive on spite. |
| 0:22.9 | They're hard to kill. |
| 0:24.2 | They've heard all the noise. |
| 0:26.4 | And they know they're written off. |
| 0:29.5 | And they thrive on that. |
| 0:31.8 | Two, I think revenge is a real angle you can play. |
| 0:35.7 | And you can laugh at this. |
| 0:36.7 | And I know a lot of times it's hyperbole in sports when you talk about, you know, revenge game and things of that nature. But no, revenge is real in this case because, look, in that locker room, it's okay for them to feel like they got screwed. I don't think it's okay for fans.

| 1:34.6 | Yeah, I think that plays. |
| 1:36.0 | And the last piece, I just don't believe James Hardin is closing anyone out. |

| 1:47.5 | I just, I don't believe in James Hardin in big closeout spots. |
| 1:54.3 | And he wasn't, you know, at the end of that game, you saw him crack at the free throw line. |
| 2:01.6 | Donovan Mitchell was not good in that game. |
