Right. Right. There's not that many people that can do that and say the right things to Steph Curry or even want to, you know, poke the bear, if you will. And this one, it wasn't even his fight, really. He just came in. And if you show that that image of him, like he left the floor, like pointing at his Detroit jersey, like saying, this is us, like, do not mess with us.

And I do think that this whole idea that they are this, you know, young, lovable team. That's great.

But this Isaiah Stewart tells me that they're tough and maybe the bad boys are back.

they could be a contender in the Eastern Conference. Like, they could just be young, the combination of young and dumb enough and tough enough to surprise somebody. Because let's think about it for a second. You're the Boston Celtics, right? Who did the Boston Celtics really beat in the Eastern Conference last year? I'll help you out. Nobody. Okay, nobody.

So if they run into a tough opponent in the second round that's pushing back on them and can score the way this Pistons team can score, I don't know. I think they got shot.

It reminds me of the team of Dwayne Wade's rookie year, where he was the star, even though they didn't really know it as much. Cade is leading the way, and it's just a quality group around him that can play today's basketball. Didn't they lose to that Heat team losing the first round? Second round. Second round to the Indiana Pacers in six games.

And that was a Pacers team that was supposed to go far in those playoffs. I'm not saying that that team was a contender necessarily. I'm just saying it reminds me of that team. And if they would have beat the Pacers, wouldn't have been that crazy.

I mean, if they're completely healthy, I'm going to say the Knicks, because as you said, they've been there. We've seen it happen. But Pistons are right there, if not overtaking them, if you just look at the last half of the season.

I mean, anything that involves Draymond Green is a possibility. It feels like Centel next time because I don't think he is purposely, this time, because I don't think he is purposely going after Rudy Gobert by proxy at this point. So, yeah, I'm going to go Centel on this one.

it feels like it should be fake, but I've heard Doc Rivers say this or seen him say this now, not once, but twice, which is, I mean, it's odd that he's going to hang up a banner that says never been swept. I think that was a, that's something that probably should look into when he retires, but man, like the, I guess the,
