crunch time!

we are currently in seventh seed, a game ahead of indiana and two games ahead of chicago. essentially if we keep winning, they can't catch up.

the mavs are playing poorly these days, taking advantage of that would be huge.

credit to ducler for the graphic

go pistons!

No reason we should lose this game after OKC's tough win. We need to continue to win these sort of games

Given the Bulls game is a back to back on the road (and we know how terrible we are with those) this one becomes pretty close to a must win.

Of course, its also a home game on a couple days rest, tough to get better odds than that.

I think we actually win this game and lose to Chicago. I don't think well win both. I think we'll split the games.

This game actually feels like one of our more winnable games remaining. Which is crazy to think since its against a veteran team fighting for its playoff life right now. Just shows how difficult our remaining schedule really is. Also, didn't realize our game after Chicago is the game in Miami that is on TNT... That one feels like a possible loss as well but will depend heavily on the Whiteside/Dre matchup. Nothing looks easy on our remaining schedule. Even that Orlando game is a B2B on the road with travel and Orlando has beat some playoff teams the last week including Chicago and Indiana!

This whole damn season has been "We really need this game".

It's exhausting.

Cant wait until its final. Hopefully for IN the playoffs but im exhausted thinking about it.

This is a biggie. Indy plays Philly next and we've got the Bulls. We need to get this if we want to stay at 7th. This should be a win.

This team has been garage for years and inconsistent this season. It's brutal for us poor fans. We just need that playoff spot this season and it'll all feel better.

If you would've told be 4 years ago half your sig would no longer be in Detroit, with one retired, I would've thought you were crazy.
