The Detroit Pistons were spiraling out of control.
They had fallen to the 10th seed and were 21-27.
Internal wars among Pistons followers started.
Dwane Casey was being criticized, Reggie Jackson was a issue at the point guard spot, and Andre Drummond was being compared to role players (it was and still is very dumb).
Then the Pistons turned things around.
Fast forward to March 2nd. The Detroit Pistons found themselves game away from .500 (30-31) and tied with the Brooklyn Nets for the sixth seed after blowing out the Cleveland Cavaliers.
