Because it means then, no, then game one was real.

0:17.4

And maybe you just played slightly better or Orlando played slightly worse.

0:38.2

Forget about losing. No, no, that's off the table. You lose your season's over. Just call it what it is. And I don't think you're going to lose. But how you play tonight matters. So I want to talk about game two. I'm excited for it. Because the Pistons love to talk. Well, now, okay, talk it, walk it.

2:02.8

Let's drop a bomb on them tonight.
