It's Friday. Welcome to the herd, Jason McIntyre in for Colin Cowherd. I am joined today. It's a bloomy day if you're a New York Knicks fan. I'm joined today by Rachel Nichols, who is not a Knicks fan, but she likes the NBA just as much as I do. We got a lot happening, Rachel. Oh, my goodness. Adam Silver. I know. Tanking. I know. We're going to see some big changes coming up. We can talk about them. Allegedly. We'll see what the league does. We got a couple great guests lined up. That's some trouble potentially ahead in Baltimore for Lamar Jackson. I don't know if you guys are seeing the quotes coming out of Baltimore. Not great. We'll get to that in a little bit. But I have to admit, I need to start the show today. It's Friday with a bit of an apology. You got to start here. Yesterday, we talked Cleveland Cavs getting the number one seed. We talked New York Knicks going to the NBA finals. I neglected to mention the Detroit Pistons,

who are the team with the best record of the NBA. I don't know how they've done it. It's amazing.

Cade Cunningham starts off the second half with an unbelievable performance at MSG last night.

42 points. The Pistons, ladies and gentlemen, have swept the Knicks, swept them 3-0

and beat them down all three games this season badly. Now, here's what's even more special

last night. They went into MSG without two of their top seven. Jalen Duren and Beef Stew,

both serving a suspension for their goonery against Charlotte last week, getting in a bit

of an altercation there. And Detroit's win last night? Holy hell. Very impressive. I saw some

concerned Knicks fans. I saw some concern Nick's media. I mean, people are clamoring.

We need Yannis. It's over. We're not going to the finals.

Take a deep breath, ladies and gentlemen. I love the NBA. It's also February.

Coming out of the All-Star break, OG and Obie was awful last night. Mikhail Bridges,

once again, quite terrible. People want to ship him FedEx anywhere. Get him out of town.
