I'll tell ya what, the Pistons are a great story.
Top 4 is not out of the question here. Home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
This has been a fantastic turnaround. It seems like they are maybe one really good player away from elite status the way they are going now. J.B. Bickerstaff should be a finalist for Coach Of The Year. He won't win it because there are two teams at 45-10, but he's done a great job. Cunningham is a superstar, and you don't hear about anything other than basketball with him. Duren is turning into a well-rounded player (he still has plenty of detractors, but keep in mind that he just turned old enough to drink 3 months ago. Malik's a fun player that brings energy, a fan-favorite type of guy and I think that Thompson is starting to click. This is fun. Too bad they have no more games against Indiana. Pretty silly scheduling, to go the last 35 games without playing a division rival. But that may be good since the Pacers seem to have their number. It's nice to care about them again. I don't like what the NBA has turned into, it's hard to root for many players anymore. I liked the NBA a lot more when it was actually about basketball.
