Order of the Blazing Horse

After the saddest loss of the season, Mickey and Harry talk about what went wrong and what the Pistons have to do to bounce back and beat a west best Oklahoma City Thunder. Then, they talk about what happens if Jaden Ivey comes back for the playoffs, who they want to see in the playoffs, and close by considering what Shaq has been doing instead of watching the Pistons.

The Pistons are rolling, locking even more into a top-6 seed in the East with 19 games to go. But stats suggest that they're playing at an even higher level than that! Harry and Mickey also welcome special guest and Wizards fan Jamel Johnson, star of the movie "Memes & Nightmares" now streaming on Hulu.

After the Detroit Pistons' 8th consecutive victory, this one with a dominant thumping of the defending NBA Champion Bost Celtics, Mickey and Harry break down the game and cover a little history on things that were happening the last time the team had this long a streak (2008). After giving Malik Beasley, Ausar Thompson, and Tobias Harris their flowers, the fellas turn to Cade Cunningham and play a game of "Who's Better?"

Harry and Mickey breakdown the play of Cade Cunningham (All-Star Game, 3-Point Contest) and Ausar Thompson (Rising Stars Game) over the All-Star Weekend and pitch their fixes. Then they welcome Pistons' auditor (Mike O'Keefe), who has collected receipts from NBA analysts nationwide with their comments on superstar Cade Cunningham.

The Pistons have been laying the smack down on the competition as they blaze into the All Star break. Mickey and Harry talk about Ausar's rising stock, where Duren is on the extendometer, Malik Beasley breaking the single season franchise 3-point record, and then go over das Dennis Schroder highlights in a segment of "Dueling Werners".

6'1" guards (Trae Young and Darius Garland) crept up on the Pistons and stabbed their dreams as the clock ticked away. How did Detroit respond? By fetching a 6'1" guard of their own in Dennis Schroder! Mickey and Harry discuss the outcomes of the games, wrap up the moves at the trade deadline, and welcome special guest CJ Toledano (@cjtoledano  @followthroughmedia  and Point Game Podcast) to play a round of Super Max Matchmaker, presenting would-be star pairings and their celebrity names.

Harry and Mickey welcome three very special guests - Kofie (@KofieWhy) Robbie Bettleton (@bobbybuckets313.bsky.social ), and Pistons Jack (@pistons_jack) - to play the Armchair GM-ing Game. The contestants will try to woo the Order over with their moves as they make their case for what they would do if they were running the Detroit Pistons.

Harry and Mickey discuss Cade’s continued all-star campaign and create a mixtape for the Pistons’ gauntlet of a road trip. Having battled Houston and Atlanta, they check out the matchups against Orlando, Cleveland, and the dread Indiana Pacers. Then, with 2024 in the rearview, the guys assign yearbook superlatives for the squad. HAGS! (Have a Great SEASON)
