All right, top of the hour.

0:01.2

We're going to get to the Pistons.

0:02.2

And I think it's an interesting and fun way to do it. As I said on yesterday's show, I'm not big on these referendum regular season games. I think that's just all hype nonsense. It's a game in February. Like, you lost to the Spurs. It doesn't make me think a whole lot less of you. I'm also somebody who doesn't believe you're ever beating the Spurs or OKC or hell in a seven game set,

0:23.7

considering all their pieces are there, unlike the regular season.

0:27.1

I don't think you're beating Denver either.

0:28.9

So nothing changed for me.

0:30.5

But I have something fun.

0:31.8

We're going to do something called pick three.

0:33.7
