Detroit Pistons displaying ‘full confidence’ commanding Eastern Conference | NBA on NBC

CELTICS. GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS. ROB. WE’LL GET TO YOU IN A SECOND. AUSTIN LET’S START WITH YOU IN THE DETROIT PISTONS 20 WINS ON THE SEASON I WOULD FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THERE’S ANY TEAM IN THE EAST THAT IS MORE CONFIDENT RIGHT NOW THAN THE DETROIT PISTONS. WHAT HAVE YOU SENSED BEING AROUND THEM? >> ABSOLUTELY. YOU COULD JUST SEE THE JUST OVERALL CHEMISTRY TODAY IN SHOOTAROUND. THERE WAS GOOD ENERGY. EVERYONE’S HIGH FIVING. YOU CAN SEE THESE GUYS REALLY ENJOY NOT ONLY PLAYING WITH EACH OTHER BUT JUST HANGING AROUND EACH OTHER. THEY’RE COMING OFF THEIR BIGGEST WIN OF THE SEASON WHERE THEY ABSOLUTELY JUST DOMINATED THE HAWKS. SEVEN GUYS IN DOUBLE DIGITS, 12 GUYS WITH SEVEN OR MORE. THE BALL IS POPPING. THEY’RE PLAYING WITH CONTINUITY, BUT THEY HAVE FULL CONFIDENCE THAT THIS GAME IS CLOSE. THEY GOT A GUY THAT CAN CLOSE BETTER THAN ANYBODY. >> AUSTIN. WHAT SEPARATES CADE AS A CLOSER IS IT IS IT HIS PACE? IS IT HIS SKILL? IS IT THE DECISION MAKING. LIKE WHAT IS IT. >> HIS PACE? I THINK IT’S HIS PACE. YOU KNOW MELO LIKE YOURSELF. THERE’S GUYS THAT YOU JUST CAN’T SPEED UP MAN. AND A LOT OF US EVEN US THE GREATEST PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE ARE HAPPEN TO BE IN IT. I DIDN’T HAVE THAT. YOU CAN’T TEACH THAT. HE PLAYS AT HIS OWN PACE. I ONLY KNOW A COUPLE GUYS IN THE LEAGUE THAT YOU CAN’T SPEED UP, AND GUYS THAT HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE GAME, WHETHER THAT’S SCORING OR MANIPULATING OFFENSES. YOU TALK ABOUT TREY, YOU KNOW TRAE YOUNG, LUKA DONCIC, NIKOLA AT THE CENTER SPOT AND THEN PROBABLY CADE I PUT HIM IN THAT SAME CATEGORY BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE HE’S MORE OF A SCORER. I DON’T KNOW IF HE CAN MANIPULATE AN OFFENSE LIKE CADE DOES. MAN, THIS DUDE COMPLETELY JUST PLAYS WITHIN HIS OWN SPEED AND HIS OWN WAY. >> ABSOLUTELY. >> AUSTIN DEREK FISHER HERE, MAN. TALK TO US ABOUT JAYLEN DUREN AND THE IMPACT ON THE DEFENSIVE END FOR THESE DETROI PISTONS, THE NASTY BOYS, THE NEW VERSION OF THE BAD BOYS. IT STARTS WITH JALEN DUREN IN THE MIDDLE, BRO. >> HE’S BUILT LIKE A TRANSFORMER. I’M STAYING AT THE SAME HOTEL AS THIS GUY. HIM AND ISAIAH STEWART IN THE ELEVATOR WITH ME TODAY. I WAS NERVOUS YOU KNOW, THEY ARE THEY PLAY PHYSICAL, THEY DOMINATE THE PAINT. THIS GUY IS A WALKING DOUBLE DOUBLE 18-10 AND THAT’S WHAT THEY ARE. YOU KIND OF NAILED IT ON THE HEAD FISH. THEY DON’T SHOOT A LOT OF SHOTS. THEY’RE THREE IN ATTEMPTS FOR THREE POINTERS 28 MAKES. BUT THEY HANG THEIR HAT ON THAT PAINT. THEY DOMINATE IT EVERY SINGLE NIGHT, THIRD IN REBOUNDING. AND THEY PUNISH TEAMS. >> HEY, ROBBIE, WOULD YOU HAVE AUSTIN’S BACK IF HE WAS ATTACKED BY JAYLEN, DUREN AND ISAIAH STEWART? WOULD YOU HAVE HIS BACK? >> I GOT HIM,

Austin Rivers reports from the Pistons’ bench to break down the “confidence” shown by Detroit commanding the East, Cade Cunningham’s “unteachable” pace, and Jalen Duren’s physicality. #NBCSports #NBAonNBC #DetroitPistons
