The NBA pre-season drags on tonight, as the Toronto Raptors visit the Palace at Auburn Hills, to take on a Pistons team that has become a pre-season critical darling.
I’m a Stan Van Gundy fan too, but I’ve seen prognostications that this Detroit team could win 50 games and/or finish with the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference. I realize the pre-season is long, but if there was ever something that required a ‘settle down’, it’s this.
The Pistons are going to be a well-coached, perfectly competent basketball team that will likely make the playoffs in a murky Eastern Conference.
