| Detroit is on a crash course with Boston for the Eastern Conference finals. If the Pistons bench is as good as advertised, it could happen. |
| 04/08/2008 | 3 | 3 |
| Rip's hip has kept him on the sideline for six of the past seven games, but Detroit keeps winning with Rodney Stuckey, Arron Afflalo and a diet of opponents like Miami and Minnesota. |
| 04/01/2008 | 3 | 3 |
| Rookie Arron Afflalo is back in the rotation, making a difference on defense. |
| 03/25/2008 | 3 | 2 |
| They're not exactly consistent of late, but beating Phoenix without Richard Hamilton is impressive. |
| 03/18/2008 | 2 | 2 |
| When you school a contender like New Orleans because of the contributions of Jarvis Hayes, your team has more depth than it's sometimes given credit for. |
| 03/11/2008 | 2 | 1 |
| Rasheed Wallace has missed two in a row with a bad ankle, and the Pistons won both. |
| 03/04/2008 | 1 | 1 |
| Chauncey Billups misses a game, so Tayshaun Prince merely dishes out 10 assists while playing point-forward. And the Pistons win. |
| 02/26/2008 | 1 | 1 |
| Showed signs of slippage in losing two straight -- then recovered by strolling into Phoenix and routing the Suns by 30. "We play against other elite teams," Chauncey Billups said, "we lock in." Evidently. |
| 02/19/2008 | 1 | 1 |
| Adding another veteran big man is still a priority, but Detroit's commitment to the youth movement has made it easy to pass on this year's hectic fire sale around the trade deadline. |
| 02/12/2008 | 1 | 2 |
| Detroit is in strong position to challenge Boston for the East's No. 1 seed. The Pistons can talk all they want about having the edge in playoff experience, but forcing the Celtics to come into the Palace four times during a series would be equally important. |
