Pistons being this good this season is the biggest shock of them all. There are few teams that got better over a season, like Rockets who finished 11th last season on the west, now being second place, Memphis certainly improved a ton compared to last season as well. However, none of them had a huge change like Pistons.
Because, Pistons literally broke the losing streak or something last season if I remember correctly, we have literally seen them be a mockery and they ended up being 50%+ this season so far, that is not something I expected to see. I assumed they would be a little bit better, like get maybe five or ten more wins this season, but going from 14 wins to now having 21 wins at half of the season is a huge success.
As a knicks fan i love detroits breakout. We traded our own pick for mikal bridges but own detroits 1st round pick thats protected 1-13. I need them to drop out of the lottery and the knicks get that pick. Would be huge for the knicks. I do like cade cunninghams game too. Kid is gonna be a superstar in this league. Detroit is on the right path, hopefully they make the playing over teams like philly or atlanta. Much more fun to watch.
