Pistons forward issues playoff guarantee

What! Detroit in the playoffs? Good luck with that.

Heat
Nets
Pacers
Celtics
Knicks
Bulls
Sixers
Bucks
Raptors
Pistons

Yes I rank the Pistons after my Raptors

Hey Jonas thats what you shoot for....but I would say we are a year away from the playoffs even though we played .500 ball the last 42 games of the season. I just think a few teams that didnt make the playoffs got better and we are still a very young and raw team.

Wow who is this cat JJ of the euro league? What is he? another forward or guard in the forward/guard academy they got there in Pistonland? What another one of Joe Du's stalwarts spittin lyrics at us about the Piston aspirations? Zip it buddy for now will ya!

Don't know who this Jonas Jerebko is but it sure made Dumars smile real big!

Rolling In The Deep, Bro?

The Pistons are young and have some talent and depth. I think that the bottom couple of playoff spots could be up for grabs and Detroit could make a push towards getting in. Stranger things have happened.

Who is Jonas Jerebko?

No one Knows

Smart of him not to mention what year they'll make the playoffs...

and this would be very strange if it were to happen.Nothing wrong with setting lofty goals, but as detroit said above-they have a little ways to go before they think playoffs

He also said that they played .500 basketball the last third of the season. They could make some noise at the bottom of the East. I disagree with the belief that the teams that missed the playoffs improved. I don't buy Toronto, and I don't buy the Bucks doing anything. The Nets should make the post-season if they stay healthy, nut neyond that, I don't see any improvement in the East. The Bulls are in transition without Rose, and the Magic are trying to hit rock bottom. The Hawks could blow it all up and completely start over, too. The Bobcats suck and I don't expect much out of the Wizards or Cavaliers. If Kyrie Irving finds a way to get Cleveland into the playoffs, he should be named MVP. Detroit, in my opinion, has as good a chance as anyone to snag one of those bottom 2 spots.

Are guarantees even relevant anymore...every year/every sport somebody comes out with a foolish guarantee to garner attention for himself and his team. At the end of the year, the person who made the guarantee is forgotten and the team had a forgetfull season. Next

Wow, this Jerebko guy is really taking a risk here. If they don't make the playoffs, it will be devastating to his reputation (if he has one).

You mention Nets. So they CLEARLY are an improved non-playoff team from last year. The Wizards are perhaps in the same boat as Detroit. Some young pieces, and if they remain healthy, can make a push.
The Hawks have nothing to blow up, they already hipped JJ and marvin, but will still remain a playoff team albeit 7-8th seed at best. Don't coun't out the Magic either, despite Howard and Anderson leaving, their starting 5 is not the worst.

I will agree with you on the raptors and Bucks, they didn't do anything positive.

Heat
Nets
Pacers
Celtics
Knicks
Bulls
Sixers

The last spot go to any of the following :Hawks, Magic, Wizards, Pistons

I don't know what this guy is smoking, but pass around.

Maybe Rasheed Wallace stash has been found in the locker room.

He meant to say next season. The pistons will develop drummond and be a 7 or 8 seed next year. Cant wait to see it.

Playoffs: Not as long as Dumars is running the show...
