We are rapidly approaching the NBA playoffs. Some teams have a title within reach, others are already looking ahead. So here’s a quick rundown of the contenders, the ones who can win it all, and the ones who can lose it all. Next up, we’re heading over to the great state of Michigan to look at the best record in the East, the Detroit Pistons. A team built with antiquity in mind, everything the Pistons do rejects the modern formula for winning basketball games. They don’t play fast. They don’t shoot a lot of threes. They slow the game down and grind out wins in the paint. It shouldn’t work in the modern NBA, but it does. It’s so antithetical in nature that it’s helped them maintain a clear one seed in the East. But the postseason is a different beast. Will this play style hold up in a seven game series? Only time will tell. Markets provided by polymarketsports Use code: noon
