The 2015-16 Warriors won a record 73 regular-season games, as close to a perfect team as we’ve seen in NBA history—they didn’t even win a title. Even the best teams have a weak point and that’s no different this year as we head into the final stretch of the regular season.
This season’s playoff race is especially interesting in the Eastern Conference, with a cluster of teams who have a legitimate shot to make it out of the conference. Detroit has led the conference all year and looked like a true powerhouse recently, winning two games against playoff teams without All-Star center Jalen Duren who served a two-game suspension after the scuffle with Charlotte. But even the first-place Pistons aren’t perfect when you dig behind the curtain, and have yet to win a playoff series with their young roster.
