If the Pistons want to be a playoff team, consistently beating bad teams will go a long way in making that come true.
As we all knew heading into the season, the Pistons would encounter growing pains and learn lessons the hard way as they continued to reroute the franchise's compass. One thing all good teams do is consistently beat bad ones and even though the Brooklyn Nets hung around, the Pistons left the court with a double digit win 103-89. In late November, Detroit lost to this very same Net team and in a competitive Eastern Conference, leaving winnable games on the table is a bad look.
