How does this dynamic play out in our final game of the season? Could Cleveland intentionally lose to bump us to 7th and avoid us? (who would they rather play? Indiana or Detroit?) Could they go all out to intimidate us before the playoffs? I haven't been able to wrap my head around how this could play out. Interesting dichotomy.

They probably don't fear us and will rest their players

I'd rather play against Detroit than a team that has Paul George in the playoffs lol

Yeah, if anything they would play to avoid the alternatives. Pretty nice when you can just foul a team's star until he is pulled from the game.

Cavs don't have an answer for Drummond. Paul George can be shut down if you put Lebron on him. Nobody can stop Drummond except for the FT line

i expect cleveland to rest their players on the last game of the season no matter who they're matched up against.

which would bode well for us

Somebody knock on wood please, before they rest their guys and we still lose, kicking us behind Chicago and out of the playoffs

Pistons should rest their players in the last game if Cleveland does.

If it is impossible for us to move up or down in the standings, I agree 100%. I would imagine both teams would if they had that scenario.

Raptors Pistons more likely will happen.

Because Pacers are getting 8th.

Honestly if Pistons win tonight, fans should be looking towards 6th seed.

Good toughness there by Baynes.

I keep posting in random threads because I'm stoned and think i'm in the game thread

please guys, don't cross the bridge until you come to it. Chicago is not dead, Wizards had a big lead @GSW, nobody is gonna giving away that playoff spot to us. keep paying attention!
