The Brooklyn Nets embark on an eight-game, 17-day road trip that's bound to either catapult them into the lead in the Atlantic Division or help them crash and burn on their way to a disappointing playoff seed and a terrifying first-round exit. Luckily for them, it couldn't start against a much better opponent, in that they're playing a terrible opponent: the 23-45 Detroit Pistons in Detroit. The Pistons, playing without Andre Drummond and possibly without Brandon Knight, are well out of the playoff hunt and look primed to make a race towards the bottom for a potential top-5 pick.
Joining me to answer three questions about tonight's game and matchup is the incomparable Dan Feldman, showrunner over at expert Detroit Pistons blog PistonPowered. There's nowhere better to get expertise on the Pistons, so anything you're curious about that you don't read here, go there and I'm sure Dan's got 15 posts on it.
And, as always: The BK Game Streak is up. Good luck, you cranks.
Onward!
Devin: The Pistons have lost eight in a row and they seem like they're cruising into "tank for a high draft pick" territory. Do you think that's the case? Do you expect them to be competitive tonight?
