Let's close out standard time with 10 Things:
1. The end of the Pistons
To their credit, no one with the Detroit Pistons has spun this free fall as something they saw coming -- the predictable result of a mega-trade that gutted their wing rotation. They traded for Blake Griffin to make the playoffs. Now their chances are nearing zero.
Detroit is 6-10 since acquiring Griffin, and every one of those wins -- including Griffin's first four games -- came at home against teams on the second end of a back-to-back.
The Pistons are hemorrhaging 3-pointers on defense, and they rank 24th in points scored per possession since the trade.
