Detroit Pistons (26-30)
The Detroit Pistons, led by Blake Griffin, have had an OK season. They haven’t been great by any means, but the fact that they’re competing for a playoff spot once again in the Eastern Conference is a good sign for this team moving forward.
If this team makes the playoffs, considering the move that they made last season for Griffin, it would be a huge gut punch. This team made the move for Griffin to compete for, at the very least, a playoff spot. So far, the only reason why they’re even if contention for the top 8 in the conference is because after the top 6 it’s been pretty weak.
The Pistons get a passing grade for now, but they better have enough to beat out the likes of the Heat, Magic and Wizards for that last spot in the East playoffs. They need it.
Grade: C+
