Are the Magic going to pull off the upset?
KOC and Justin Termine discus if the surging Orlando Magic can knock out top-seeded Detroit.

Do you actually think Orlando's gonna finish 'em off though, Justin?
Do you think Orlando does win this series?
I, I mean, I'm not gonna say they definitely will.
I think it's possible, 'cause I'm, I'm thinking of some of the names that you had on those other teams that lost.
Like, Tim Duncan's an all-time great, right?
And he allows- Mm-hmm you know, them to lose an 8-1.
Dirk Nowitzki's an all-time great.
So as good as Cade Cunningham is, he's not those guys, and especially at this point in his career.
Like, maybe someday, and that's a high bar, maybe someday he gets there.
I don't think he'll, ever be as good as Duncan or Dirk.
But if you can do that against a Duncan and Dirk team, you can certainly do it against a Cade Cunningham team.
So, again, it's possible, because I like the matchup, for Orlando.
They're playing with confidence right now.
They're gonna be free of pressure.
Like, if Orlando loses, what, are they gonna grill them?
No, they're gonna say, "Well, they're the eighth seed, you know, they're going up against a 60-win team."
Detroit loses in the first round, they're gonna get absolutely grilled.
So the b- you know, the longer this series goes, the heavier the ball is gonna get, and the smaller the, the rim is gonna get for Detroit.
So, uh- Mm-hmm so I, I mean, I'll go out on a limb and I guess say I think it's gonna happen.
What do you think?
I think it's gonna happen, too.
