Barring the wheels completely falling off down the stretch, the Detroit Pistons will put together one of the more surprising turnarounds in NBA history and secure a playoff spot to break a long postseason drought. After taking care of the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night, the surging team now finds itself tied for the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference with the Indiana Pacers and Milwaukee Bucks. It may now be officially time for the national media to start mentioning Detroit when discussing the league and Shaquille O'Neal broke the ice on the NBA on TNT.
"He's a great player, I like the way he's playing," O'Neal said of Cade Cunningham. "I like what Chauncey is doing, those guys play hard."
