Yeah, that's something else that's great is Jalen Duren, who's been awesome this week.

He obviously has had a breakout season making the All-Star game, but he's been even better post-All-Star game.

His scoring has jumped from 17.7 points per game to 23.3.

What have you seen from Duren this last month and a half offensively?

Yeah, the only real addition they had at the deadline was Kevin Herter, who they acquired via the Jaden Ivey trade.

He's getting a consistent 20-plus minutes per game as of late, and has had his best game as a Piston on Thursday night, scoring 22 points, as you mentioned earlier.

What have you thought about his minutes so far?

It's the Kevin Herter corollary right there.

That's, yeah.

Oh, there's a lot of embarrassing stuff out there surrounding Gordon Hayward, which, you know what?

I don't think that's any of our fault.

I'm blaming Gordo for that.

Man, Bryce, it hadn't been that long since I came on your show when we were talking about the direction of the Pistons.

Remember that?

That felt like it was just months ago.

And now we're talking about, is there a first-round opponent you think that they would favor here?

It's funny how quickly it flips.

who they could potentially play in the second round.

Let's assume they get past the first round.

How would you rank Celtics, Knicks, and Cavs in terms of how confident you are the Pistons could beat them and move on?
