I guessed at the beginning that they'd finish 66-16. I'll hold to that prediction.

say the pistons end up 61-21


that means they have to play .500% ball.....they only have 3 more games against WC teams, all at home.

maybe if some of ESPN's supposed basketball experts didn't say these detroit pistons were better then the 72 win bulls....

Their schedule was extremely backloaded, but nobody in the media took that into account. Expect a lot more losses as they finish one of the toughest schedules in the league right now with no bench to speak of.

Looks like they're going to be blown out by Washington. Ben Wallace has 2 points and 3 rebounds or something like that, not good enough.

See, I'm torn in this situation. With the loss, it's one step closer to the 1996 Bulls holding onto the claim of being the only team to win 70. On the other hand, with the Wizards winning they avoid sinking which doesn't help the present day Bulls. ;)

I find it difficult to believe that he is better than Yao right now.
