The Detroit Pistons evened the series up with the Orlando Magic 98-83 in game two. The Pistons had lost 11 straight home games in the postseason, the drought that started back in 2008. Game three will be in Orlando on Saturday. Joe, I mean, the game was 46-45 at the half. Joe, I turned the thing back on, and that damn, I was like, hold on, what the hell happened?
At one point, they had outscored Orlando 30-3 in the third quarter. Joe, how was the Pistons able to turn this thing around, even the series up? I think the Pistons were definitely just more desperate. Okay, Ocho, knowing and understanding that, man, listen, game two, this is a must-win situation for us. We can't go to Orlando down 0-2 thinking we're going to win on their home floor.
Chapter 7: How are the Pistons expected to perform in the upcoming games?
So I think, you know, they got their morale back. I thought they came out and made a huge emphasis on defense just to be physical. obviously, and just play a lot harder. I thought, you know, I thought they took Wendell Carter out the game, to where, you know, offensively, you know, last game, what he had, about 19, 20 points.
I mean, I think the biggest factor is, man, Cade just got to continue to be aggressive, ultra-aggressive, make plays not only for himself but for them guys around him. And if he efficient, then their wins will look like this because they're a great defensive team. It don't surprise me that they held Orlando to 83 points. On 33% shooting from the floor, 25% from the three. Out-rebounded them.
They're plus 15 in the rebounding aspect. Go ahead, Ocho. You want to say something? Now, I was going to say it was a collective effort on their behalf, on the Pistons. Obviously, Cade Cunningham doing exactly what he's supposed to do, obviously leading that squad. But going down 0-2, you don't want to have to dig yourself out that kind of hole, Joe, and make it that more difficult.
So they knew they had to even this goddamn series out. And not only that, it was a collective effort from everybody. Goddamn, Tobias had 16. Robinson had 10. You got 11 from Durant. Cunningham did what he did with 27 and goddamn Thompson had 11. So everybody, including Stuart coming off the bench, he had 10.
He had some other people contribute a little bit as well, but listen, they got to play like this. They got to play like this the rest of the series or hell, it could be a goddamn upset. Rob Markman Yeah. Yeah, it could be an upset, Ocho. You know, Detroit hadn't really been tested. So we don't really know if they're a championship caliber team yet.
We just know they're number one in the Eastern Conference. You know what I mean?

Chapter 8: What are the predictions for the rest of the NBA playoffs?
So now if they are a championship caliber team, now they got to show it because you got to go out on the road and you got to go get you one. You know what I mean? So we'll see if them guys can step up. step up to the challenge and obviously still won in Orlando. Yeah, the difference between playoff basketball and regular season basketball, and we see that a lot.
And there's a difference between regular season and postseason in anything, be it football, basketball, baseball, hockey, whatever team sport it is. If you have a postseason, there's a difference, the intensity level. There's greater expectations, especially on higher seeds because you got that higher seed by playing good basketball during the season. Now all of a sudden, when it matters the most,
When we need to get stops, when we need to be efficient in clutch situations, we don't get that done. So anybody that says, oh, you know. You absolutely know what it is. And Detroit knows. They basically had the best record in the Eastern Conference damn near from start to finish. Even when Cade went out, they still found ways to win.
And now here they find themselves in a series 1-1 with Orlando. Now, they're going to need to do a better job. They did a great job on the glass tonight, Joe. They had plus 15 Detroit was over Orlando. They're going to need to do better. They're going to have to shoot the three. Now, I don't necessarily think they're a great three-point shooting team.
They can get streaky like most teams can, but some teams are better. The Boston Steelers are a good three-point shooting team. Detroit's not. They better knock down some of these damn free throws. Yeah, I agree. They got to shoot better from the three. Not only that, I think they hang their head on their defense. You know what I mean? They pride themselves defensively.
It ain't too many times they're going to get out rebounding. No. With Durant and Big Boy and Stewart down there. It ain't many times that they're going to get out rebounding. So, you know, they come with a tough mindset, hard hat, you know, outwork you and do whatever it takes to win the game. Now, you just hope your stars step up. Obviously, Cade has been consistent.
But, man, if you can get some consistent productivity from Tobias Harris. I'm talking about consistency. It ain't got to be about 15, 20 points a night, but can we get that consistently? Then I think that'll definitely help because they're asking too much for a during. Oh, man, he need to give us 25. That ain't his game, bro. That ain't his game.
Can we ask to give us what you gave us in the regular season? Is that asking too much, Joe? I don't think it's asking too much, but here's the problem. In a playoff series, bro, we're going to try to expose you. We're going to have to play during tough. We can't give him nothing easy.
See, he's known for getting them putbacks, just being kind of like a junkyard dog type of player to where he kind of, you know, feed off missed shots. But it's tough, man. Orlando got some big bodies that they can throw at him, and it's been giving him some problems. You know what I mean? He hadn't been as effective as he's been, you know, in the regular season.
