All right, we'll get to the callers. David Texx first. A myriad of Piston topics in the 5 o'clock.

A text communication here, someone says, I'm not suggesting this, but there is a world where the Pistons play Reed and Duren together.

When Cleveland runs Mowbly and Allen out there together where Reed takes minutes away fromavante Green. Is that possible? But Javante Green's not really even playing. Correct. So you're not really taking, but nothing from him. 20 minutes for beef stew, 18 for Duren, 10 for B-ball, Paul. Okay. So you're not changing anything but for Stewart. Can Stewart give you 20? I don't know if he can right now. Again, the theory on him being banged up, you give you eight to 10. Guys, it's simple. Should Duren be getting 30 minutes a night the way he's playing? No. I'm with Rico totally. I think Rico made the best point. It's merit-based. If he comes out and

dominates, I'm out-play until the wheels fall off. But if he's going to come out and give me four

rebounds in 29 minutes, let me tell you who's not closing the game out. You. Case in point,

merit-based is when you saw Dennis Jenkins here at LCA. A game two, yes. You know what, son, you can go out there.

Or you know what?

Uncle T.

It's shown this playoffs.

I can't take you off the court.

So I'm going to give you minutes like I give K because I'm going to need your 20 plus points again tonight.

Duren can't stretch the floor. You don't win in this league with true centers. He has, his minutes have to be reduced. Someone else says, gentlemen, I feel very confident about tonight's game. I think Cunningham and Harris do their thing like usual, but also Jenkins and Duren do step up with big games tonight. Pistons win 107, 102. That's cool. And Marlon and Wall Lake. What's that based on? See, that's my problem. That's just to grab your ball's opinion. What's it based on other than what you want to happen? What would lead you to believe that Duren is going to put up that type of game? We all would love to see it.

What's it based on?

That's the problem I have with all this stuff.

We can all say things of what we want to happen.

How about we deal in reality for a second?

The reality is you probably blew being up 3-0 in this series

because you put Duren back in and took read out.

No, you're right I mean but I think a lot of people see the regular season during and you're hoping waiting for game seven during the show back up because I think a lot

of Piston fans like see there it is okay that's the guy we're going to give the max contract to, and then he went away again. So I'll say it again to you. Here's the other problem. If you give someone enough chances amidst their failure, they'll eventually succeed once. He's had 10 playoff games. He has one that I feel like has been truly him. So Mike's hitting us with the

broken clock theory, but I like it. It's apt here. Kind of. Kind of. No, it's it's right. When the

pistols were down 3-1 to Orlando, I had, I said it on a year. I crossed out dirt in my head. It was all
