I think, if we stay mostly healthy, we can be a 50-32 team at the end of the year and a #4 or #5 seed with that.

Part of that is just how bad the bottom of the east looks right now and its us continuing to beat teams we should beat and win some against teams on or near our level.

Worst case right now feels like 43-44 wins and 6th or 7th seed.

I'm glad that in this stretch Drummond and Jackson are exposed and every Pistons' fan can see who they are.
You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

I think everyone has known who they are for years and didn’t need 3 games to see.

The January schedule is tough as well. Looks like 7-9 to me. 538 has us now down to a 39-43 prediction. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2019-nba-predictions/

Luckily the east is so awful that still has us in the 8 seed FIVE games over the likes of the heat/nets/Magic the competition for the 8 seed.

That Celtics win gives me a little bit of hope, as we actually shot the ball a little yesterday.

If one or two guys start shooting it'll really help us out a lot. Not sure we can realistically expect that though. Hopefully Reggie Bullock is back.

We need to win 3 of the next 4. Hawks Wiz at home should be easy wins. Pacers on the road loss. Magic on the road win. At least win the home games.

Then its back to DOOM.
