The World Cup is coming.

Podcast listeners, quince lovers.

Mm-hmm.

This feels like it's over.

It sure does, that the Pistons aren't going to be able to come back for three games.

In this particular one, it came down to who wants to lose less at the end of the game, and Magic won that battle.

The last five minutes showed how much Cade has relied on, and it sort of wore him down in both these games in Orlando.

And you could see it in this one.

They scored one point the last five minutes of this game, essentially.

It was a garbage bucket.

But for Cade not to be able to do that on some open shots, you could just see how much the focus is on him.

I think there's more focus on him as the number one guy than there is

in any other playoff series because the rest of their roster is not coming through whatsoever.

I think when it comes down to it, we're going to look back at game one of this series and say, that's the game they had to win.

At home, their role players are supposed to play better, and no one supported Cade's 39, essentially, in that game.

And people will be asking, looking up and down that roster, I thought the bench would come through.

I thought the replacements of Dennis Schroeder and Malik Beasley would come through.

Malik Beasley...

Why'd you have to gamble, man?

If he was out there in game one, I think he hit some shots.
