On this episode of the Palace of Pistons podcast, Aaron Johnson and Jasper Apollonia break down the first two games of the Detroit Pistons’ first-round playoff battle with the Orlando Magic, with the series tied 1-1 after Orlando’s Game 1 win and Detroit’s bounce-back in Game 2. The guys dive into the Pistons’ sluggish start to the series and whether it’s a real concern or just early playoff rust. They analyze Cade Cunningham’s dominant impact, evaluate J. B. Bickerstaff’s rotations, and take a closer look at the key frontcourt matchup between Wendell Carter Jr. and Jalen Duren. Plus, they discuss what adjustments Detroit needs to make to take control of the series and ultimately eliminate Orlando from the playoffs.
