But I think the main concern with the Pistons when Cade went down was, are they going to lose the first seed in the Eastern Conference?
In the meantime, especially when you factor in Tatum coming back, like signs were pointing toward the Celtics being able to take a step forward.
Meanwhile, Detroit goes out, wins five out of six, locks down their seed, and now they're pretty safe.
I mean,
I suppose they could collapse in the last two weeks of the season.
I suppose the Celtics could win out from here and they could flip flop.
But Detroit's been playing well enough and has been giving such a good effort that I don't think that's going to happen.
So I think good on the Pistons to be able to hold on to the spot that they worked so hard all season to get gives them the best chance they have going into the postseason, even with Cade coming in as a question mark, recovering from a collapsed lung.
Yeah, they held on to the one seed.
It ain't going anywhere.
There's only eight games remaining.
They're up four on the Boston Celtics.
And people questioned, is anybody going to score on this team?
And they have done very well.
Scoring 113 against the Lakers.
It was 129 against the Hawks.
129 against the Pelicans.
And just 109 needed against the Timberwolves that they held to 87.
So...
Enough points on one side.
