All right, eight plus start to the series.

Pistons were awesome last night.

But the question is just they were awesome.

Why was the game tied with five to go?

And how much of the way they played is sustainable long haul?

If they play this way, if they're going to hit 40% from deep,

if they are going to force 20 turnovers,

if they are going to be the disruptors they are, even when they're not forcing turnovers, the toughness, the effort, look, there's no reason you can't win the East. It's a deeply flawed East. Therefore, your deeply flawed roster can do this. But I'm asking you the question. As far as the series goes, I don't think it gets better than game one. If you made a list of like a grocery list of how to start a series, how to put the opponent on their heels, how to get their superstar to have to go to the refs post game, you did it all. That's why I say it's a plus. I mean, yeah, I'm sure some dingling will call in and be like, well, what if they won by 50? Technically, they would have played better. Okay, thank you for your contribution. That's called the A plus plus plus. Plus plus. But I thought it was fantastic. Now, David, where are you? Because unlike Nona over here, I believed even down 3-1 against the magic. I know you didn't. And I said the series

was a coin flip. You were more negative than I. That's not negativity to say, I think this is

going to be a really good series. Where are you out after seeing the way they played and answer the

question of sustainability? They played really well last night. I think there are two things on each side.

I'll start with the Detroit side. It's Kay Cunningham. And I think that that's how they can get better.

That's how a situation where they're tied with five minutes left can be prevented is if Kaye shoots the ball better.

He did shoot 31% last night.

And I think if that area improves, and it probably evens out.

Because you probably right, Rico, you're not going to get a Dunkin game like that again.

So it'll even out probably, well, Kay will shoot a little better, but you won't get that from Duncan.

So that part right there.

The part that does scare me

with the Cleveland Cavaliers is the Jared Allen part of this because he was in file trouble

in that game and he was not as effective as they needed him because he wasn't out there. So that

part alone scares me when you think about them coming back and it being tied there,
