Do you think the Pistons are going to flop like the Lakers did last year?

I just have a feeling they're not going to make the Playoffs....Smith playing out on the perimeter? Jennings jacking up 20 shots a game? The roster looks good talent-wise, but IMO, they won't mesh on the court as a team.

Or I could be wrong and they will make the Playoffs and possibly contend in a few years. But I strongly doubt it.

    They don't have pressure like la did. They're also a young squad, not practically one and done like LA. Also Jennings could learn from Billups.

    Best Case Scenario - Finish higher than 7 seed

    Worst Case Scenario - Miss the playoffs again

    Drummond should make them a decent defensive team if nothing else. But I think they will make the playoffs. The East is weaker than the West and the Lakers did make the playoffs last year winning 45 games. The Pistons should be able to churn out 40-42 wins with this roster which should be good enough for an 8 seed. Jennings will not get as many shots as he got in Milwaukee or he will be benched. Monroe should have the most shots on the team followed by Josh Smith.
