Who Predicted that Pistons Make Playoffs this Season?

I thought we would be the 8th seed but then again I also thought the Knicks would be good this season so looks like I got quite a bit wrong in the end.

I admit, my initial thoughts were the Pistons had no chance to make the playoffs. I expected the East to be much stronger than it turned out to be. I also had no faith in Mo Cheeks.

Although, there were several times during this season I felt like the Pistons were a shoe in for the playoffs. The Pistons weren't playing .500 ball, but then again, in the East only Miami and Indy were playing .500 ball or better.

A lucky break for the Pistons came when Horford got injured. The Hawks dropped like a brick from the 4th place to 8th place. That was the perfect opportunity for the Pistons to steal the 8th spot from the ATL. The Pistons were the 9th seed at the time and only a game or two behind Atlanta.

In any event, my initial prediction came true. Or appears to be coming true. Maybe? Truth be told, ATL is still giving the Pistons an opportunity to take the 8th seed. They are only 5 games ahead of the Pistons. Pistons have 9 games left. If the Pistons can muster a 6 - 3 record for the rest of the season, they'd be in. I really doubt ATL wins another game.

Well, I really did think the Pistons could still make the playoffs. Who would have ever guessed at Atlanta beating Indiana to put the nail in Detroit's coffin?

We are the Detroit lions of the NBA. We have so much damn talent and no clue how to use it

I thought a lot of things would happen.

MH370 would be discovered within a week.

Detroit would make the playoffs.

Brandon Jennings would learn how to shoot...
