We feel a little bit of like a sigh of relief, even though, you know, Detroit is a gnarly team themselves, but it's just, Toronto is just a different kind of team.

They're built differently.

They're a weird team to play against.

I don't think so.

Cleveland in seven was my pick, so I'm not surprised that it went seven.

Yeah, but did you know Quickly and Ingram were basically going to be scratched from the series?

Quickly scratched the whole series.

You knew going into the series that it... I mean, I remember saying it's probably bad for their offense and good for their defense.

The Ingram one...

As he was not exactly lighting the world on fire in this series, but there's just a certain critical mass of talent you need to beat a team like Cleveland four times in seven games.

And as critical as you want to maybe be of the way Ingram and played, it's just you're just asking too much of guys like Jamison Battle and Mamu and Jamal Shedd.

God bless him at an unbelievable series.

And then the jumper deserted him.

in the second half of the game today.

It's just like these guys were marginal NBA players going into the season, and you're asking them to get you over the finish line on the road in game seven against a team that has four guys who have made all-star teams pretty recently.

It's a tall order.

So is it embarrassing?

Well, he's furious at everybody because he looked like he wanted to start a fight from the moment he got into the game.

I found the whole thing delightful.

But, you know, who did he flag really fast?
