Is Detroit Pistons' losing streak a rough patch or something more concerning? 

After a quick shout out to the latest addition to the Davenport family (Congrats Wes and Jill!), Bryce and Omari recap the Pistons' wins over the Oklahoma City Thunder, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Orlando Magic. Later, the guys focus in on the growing offensive prowess of Jalen Duren, break down Cade’s ranking in the MVP conversation, and analyze the spark Ausar Thompson provides to the team. The guys also answer listener questions, including if the Pistons are being overlooked in the national NBA conversation.
