Denver — The way some Pistons fans are following the team in the final weeks of the season seems almost counterintuitive.
At 19-41, the Pistons are 7½ games behind the Orlando Magic for the final playoff spot in the East. That’s not the barometer, though. More fans are following how far the Pistons are from having one of the three worst records in the league — which would give them the best odds at a top-four pick (52.1 percent) or the No. 1 overall pick (14 percent).
That involves looking at the league standings in reverse.
