Boston — Call it the good, the bad and the ugly.

The good: The Pistons will go into the All-Star break in playoff position.

The bad: After four straight wins against some of the dregs of the league, they lost again.

The ugly: Their up-and-down play doesn’t portend well for a potential playoff run.

There’s some good to take away from the Pistons before the All-Star break, but there are just as many questions about what they can do in the final 26 games of the regular season.
