| 0:00.0 | All right, three o'clock. |
| 0:01.2 | So we got a couple of things in the mix, Kentucky Derby, kind of why the hell is this a one day a year thing when the sport is year round and what stops you from actually like getting involved. But we can bring up the pistons. And I mean this. I'm not being flipping. We've said it all. I mean, we've sat here the last two days. I thought down three one, they had a way |
| 0:22.3 | better shot to win this series than what the Matt said. Franz Wagner out was a material change |
| 0:27.7 | to the series. You win game five. You're going to win tonight. You're going to win Sunday with |
| 0:33.2 | Rico their court side. they're winning the series. |
| 0:39.2 | I just, that's what I believe. |
| 0:41.4 | I don't know what else I can say. |

| 1:10.2 | They're a top heavy team. |
| 1:12.0 | So you either take advantage of this and salvage a level of dignity by getting to the second round or you're one of the biggest frauds in the history of the league. |
| 1:21.8 | There's no in between. |
| 1:23.3 | I believe it'll be the former. |
| 1:24.9 | They're going to win the series. |
| 1:26.2 | They will survive the scare and they'll get through. So I lean on RICO, Kenny, and David. What else can we say? Can we say that as later? This is a new game we're playing called What Else Can I Say? Go ahead. You can guarantee that they're going to win the game, Mike. |
