00:00Let's start with the Eastern Conference, our 3-6 split, the New York Knicks and the Detroit Pistons.

00:07How competitive do you expect this series to be, and what might that mean for game number one?

00:13I think the Pistons can give the Knicks a run for their money.

00:16I'm not saying the Pistons are going to upset them, but I think this will be a little bit tougher than people will realize for the Knicks.

00:22You know, we saw the Pistons give them trouble in the regular season.

00:24They were 3-1 against the Knicks in the regular season.

00:26Granted, some of these games happened in November, December, the last game of the season.

00:30You know, it was one of the first games back for Jalen Brunson.

00:32We have to take everything with a grain of salt, but I like the Pistons to keep this series competitive, and that starts off with game one.

00:38So I like the Pistons plus seven in game one.

00:40It was six and a half.

00:41Yeah, it's moving up to seven.

00:42It is what it is.

00:43I think that's where they take things.

00:44People don't realize that the Pistons were top ten in the league when it comes to defensive efficiency this year.

00:49A team that lost a million games over the past two seasons are now one of the better.

00:54I'm not going to say the best, one of the better defensive teams.

00:56I think they give the Knicks some trouble, and the Knicks have no depth scoring.

01:00If Brunson and Cat don't get things going, where's the scoring going to come from on the Knicks?
