Prince: ‘We Need To Play Perfect Basketball’
Pistons forward Tayshaun Prince said after Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls that the team needs to play perfect basketball in order to win despite all their injuries.
“We really need those guys back, but at the same time we got to figure out a way; obviously with the situation that we have, that we almost got to play perfect basketball,” said Prince.
Detroit has been playing without Allen Iverson, Richard Hamilton and Rasheed Wallace as of late.
The Pistons are just a game ahead of the Bulls for the seventh seed in the East, and three games ahead of Charlotte, who is currently in ninth place.

Preach Pootie Tay! We need you to take over for the rest of the season! If you aren’t going to do it we might as well mail in this season. There is no point of making the playoffs and losing in 5 games in Round 1. We might as well go fishing!
Peace,
John W. Davis

It’s an interesting dilemma. It seems they’re not good enough to beat the elite teams, but this lottery looks bad, aside from the top projected pick Blake Griffin.
I say they sneak in as the 7th seed, drawing the #2 Orlando Magic. A healthy Pistons team (w/o AI) beats them in 6 games.

I was about to rebuff you Steve, but I checked and didn’t even realize that Orlando is indeed the #2 seed right now in the East. Nice win by them last night over the Celtics. I think someone should tell them that they don’t want to face the Pistons.

Yeah it should be really interesting how it all ends up in the standings.
Cavs are going to be #1 for sure. And Boston and Orlando are (essentially) tied for #2 w/ just 11 games to play.
Atlanta will probably be #4, and then seeds #5-8 are all jumbled.
Should be fun. As long as Pistons draw the Magic.

If Detroit can get healthy, they can get rolling and gain momentum facing Orlando. If this happens, we would have to play the Cavs in the 2nd round, but we always play them tight. This could be interesting.

@Steve and TAD: If we arent facing the Hawks in the 1st round, its a must we play Orlando. I dont mind the 7 if Orlando in Number 2. The Magic have to be scared of us. I wouldnt be suprised if they purposely tried to NOT face the Pistons.
In my opinion thats the smart move.

[...] obviously the Pistons are reeling, from a combo of injuries and from just not playing up to par. Tayshaun Prince said it best after last game, “We really need those guys back, but at the same time we got to [...]
