00:00Detroit was a road underdog of about six and a half or seven points in each of their opening two

00:05games inside Madison Square Garden. As we change venue to Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit

00:13we go. The Knicks are still a favorite but just ever so slightly. A point and a half minus 120

00:20on the money line. That total at 214. A series tied at a game all. What do we see tonight in

00:27game three in Detroit? Little Caesars Arena stand up tonight because if you are the Detroit Pistons

00:34you are going to feel the love tonight as if you were dating back to the Larry Brown,

00:39Chauncey Billups, Ben Wallace era. Why? Because playoff basketball means something and understand

00:44this too about playoff basketball in Detroit. There's a long lineage and history of the Detroit

00:49Motor City bad boys where when you stepped into that arena you might get beat and then beat down

00:55during the game itself. The Rodmans, the Lambeers, the Isaiah Thomas, the Joe Dumars, you know Vinny

01:01Microwave Johnson coming off the bench. Bring everybody back because you know what I love about

01:05this too? You're not coming home as whoo first playoff game in a long time. This is going to be

01:10really exciting. We're down 0-2. Hopefully we can get a win. You are returning home in a 1-1 series

01:15where you should have been 2-0 and now you feed off that home court advantage from the fans in

01:21Detroit. That's what I'm excited about and I see this number here, right? Opened up overnight at

01:25minus 1 as a favorite towards Detroit. Now we're flipping back to the New York Knicks and the live

01:30number is the Knicks at minus 1.5 and I completely disagree with that. The better team in game number

01:351 outside of a 21-0 stretch in the fourth quarter was the Pistons. The better team all the way through

01:41game number 2 in the Garden was the Pistons. Now you're telling me the Pistons at home in front of

01:46their crowd and already energized by saying, you know what? They're not so bad. Like you've watched

01:50the Rocky fighting Drago getting punched or I believe it was actually Clubber Lang. You ain't

01:55so bad. You ain't so bad. You ain't so bad. That's what the Pistons are taking punches right now from

02:00the Knicks and coming back for more. So for my money tonight, it's the Pistons. Detroit basketball.

02:06Fire it up tonight. Let's go.
