Pistons Have Been Dominating In Past 30 Games

This NBA season has featured a massive turnaround for the Detroit Pistons.

They were the laughingstock of the league just last season and now they are true playoff contenders.

As noted by Evan Sidery on X, the Pistons are 21-9 over their last 30 games with the best defense in the league.

They are 11th with their offensive rating of 116.1 and first with a defensive rating of 109.1.

“Detroit has transformed into a team many contenders will not want to see in the first round of the playoffs,” Sidery said.

The Pistons remain the sixth team in the East with a 35-27 record, which is light years ahead of where they were in 2023-24.

Last season, they ended the year dead last in the Eastern Conference with a historically bad 14-68 record.

The roster has been tweaked and the team has a new head coach, but a lot of the Pistons’ development has to do with the team naturally progressing and getting better.

If the playoffs started today, they would face off against the third-seed New York Knicks.

What are the chances of them beating the Knicks in a seven-game series?

The Pistons have gained a lot of attention, especially over the last 30 games.

They have taken down teams such as the Los Angeles Clippers and Boston Celtics, proving they are the real deal.

They recently went on an eight-game winning streak and have now won two consecutive games.

Now fans are wondering how strong they can remain and where they will be when the regular season comes to an end.

No matter how things turn out, loyal Pistons followers are very excited for their team’s future.
