As the team attempts to claw back from a historically rough season, what would success look like for this young team? To close out the show, Bryce and Omari answer another round of listener questions.

With training camp just around the corner, Bryce and Omari compare the vibes surrounding this team this year to last year. While fan energy may be understandably down right now, there are still plenty of intriguing stories to watch as the season unfolds. The guys also play the role of coach and break down what the team might do in certain situations that they found themselves in last year. How should the team respond if they started slow? What lineups should play during a blowout loss? And how might J.B. Bickerstaff get the wheels back on the car after they've fallen off mid-game? Bryce and Omari break it all down in this week's episode.

Remember that feeling in school right before a break where you didn't get a lot of work done? Bryce and Omari ride that vibe in this episode as the pod will be on break for the next two weeks. In the first two segments, the guys cover plenty of light-hearted ground, including what vacation plans are in store for "Offseason O", favorite running jokes/memories of the pod and how the trio formed the show. Tune in to also hear Omari explain to Kansas native Bryce what a "Yooper" is. Segment three, the guys get a little bit down to business and go over listener questions. We'll get back to your regular and more serious Detroit Pistons coverage when new episodes of the podcast returns in two weeks.
