This a win to clinch the division crown, nothing to jump for joy about, because they're bigger fish to fry like World Championships!

Atlanta will come out wanting to win so they will play hard but look for a double digit win Detroit 102 Atl 88.

(March 22 to April 12)

This stretch is upon us, and after tonights game with Atlanta(which should be a win and a clinch of the division)the true games of the season begins. I have been writing about this stretch for over a month now and this is what I will judge their season on.

This stretch will give good indication on where the players heads are at, and also how Flip will approach their biggest games of the year. 12 games and all but one are playoff contending teams(New Orleans are still in the picture even though I think they will not make it). Orlando is done as far as playoffs but they will play hard that night to beat the Pistons. The rest of the teams Milwuakee, Indy, Ceveland, Miami, New Jersey, Philly, Dallas, and PHX are all in the playoffs and these are the games to look for.

How they do will not affect what they are going to do in the playoffs, but it will either build what they have done this season or tear it done. SO get excited it is a run the players are well aware of, and the explaination of why the team has been in a dull since the All-Star break. GO PISTONS!!!!!!
