Auburn Hills — Dwane Casey didn’t allow himself to smile or become satisfied with just getting to the playoffs. He knew from beginning, when he became the Pistons head coach in June, that the job would have ebbs and flows.

After his first regular season, Casey accomplished the stated goal of making the playoffs, but the tough task ahead, facing the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks, is a tall order.

Now, Casey has the Pistons as the No. 8 seed, but he still has some joy in the task ahead.
