After two weeks of playing Western Conference teams fighting for a playoff spot, the Rockets return to Toyota Center to face...and Eastern Conference team fighting for a playoff spot.
Okay, so Detroit isn’t in the same position as those West teams who are walking a razor’s edge right now between spots 3-10. The Pistons are in ninth place in the East with a tragic number of 6. Detroit traded its first round pick to the Clippers in the Blake Griffin deal, so they have no reason not to make a playoff push until the last second.
