Eagle, the son of legendary broadcaster Ian Eagle, is a play-by-play voice for NBC's return to NBA coverage this year. He talked about the team's 21-5 start, the Bad Boys' identity, J.B. Bickerstaff's influence and the need for another three-point shooter. "I just feel if you could add one more sniper, it just gives you a little bit more insurance when others guys aren't making shots, you can bring someone off the bench," Eagle said on the podcast. "Oklahoma City last year was a little bit different the way they play, but they still have snipers. Isaiah Joe is a guy who can come in and make five 3's and you look back up and say, 'What happened?' "If I'm looking at this team (Pistons), if they could add more guy they can rely on to be a 40-plus percent, three-point shooter, it just gives them a little more insurance down the stretch."
