4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

I'd bet on us at 30/1 to win the east before betting us at 100/1 to win it all.

Actually right now, you can bet on the Pistons at 50/1 to win the east... and 250/1 to win the central division this year.

100/1, yet I still feel like there's a better chance that I'm hit by lightning than Detroit winning a championship.

If it is 50-1, I think that's a great bet. Atlanta is playing great ball, Chicago and Cleveland are going to be tough come April. But depending on the seedings, I think we could get by the other teams. We would need to get to 6 or 7 seed. And then the top sort of how it is today:

1 Atl
2 Wash
3 Tor
4 Chi
5 Cle
6 Det

First round, we beat Toronto. Atl, Wash and Cle win as well

Second round, Atl vs Cle, and Cle figures out how to beat Atlanta. We beat Washington.

EC Championship round - we'd have to beat Cleveland. Maybe not likely, but I'm betting big money if I get 50-1 for that series.

Return to Detroit Pistons
