Pistons Projected at 53.5 wins and 2nd in East

2nd? No, I don't think so. If things go the right way, I see the best we can do is 5th.

Will be expecting defensive liabilities at PG & PF creating foul trouble for Dre.

Id take the 2nd seed and 50+ wins easily, but I'd be absolutely shocked if it happened. I do think that we will be a 5-8 seed though, provided that the team gels and I am hopeful that it will.

With most teams using small ball these days and using PF's for C's, there are going to be serious matchup issues this year. Detroit could be an utter chemistry mess or could prove very difficult to beat. By far, we have the biggest team in the NBA. Our team is significantly more balanced than it has been in previous years. Worst case scenario we hover around .500 and sneak into the playoffs. Best case scenario we are a 50+ win team. Can't wait to watch this team in action!!! It's great to finally have the roster balance and some players who know how to lead!!!

I put us somewhere in the 5th - 12th range.

5th wouldn't shock me. We have the tools and could finish the season with great chemistry.

A helpful trade could go down mid-season. We have a garage sale of assets that don't fit together, and they can't know exactly how they don't fit yet.

Anyone seen a recent O/U for Pistons wins? Just curious on the Vegas line.
