No, that definitley won't happen, your right. But its not like they needed to keep them under 70 points. They won all those games pretty big, and they weren't even really aiming for it. They didn't keep out their starters at the end to try and keep the record. I mean, Brown was wondering why the crowd tonight was cheering with two minutes left, Prince had to remind him about the record.
With Rasheed on board, he will be able to help contain K-Mart and O'Neil, the two big problems the pistons have had with Indiana and Jersey. They won't be blowouts on either side, but I still think that Detroit will at least make it to the finals.
As for keeping things up forever, its partially a streak of hotness, sure. But again, the addition of Rasheed has brought a new energy to the team, and its obvious when you watch them play. They had the 76ers confused and lost out there. They're contesting every shot, getting a lot of boards, and forcing a lot of turnovers too. The only problem is their offense, but I feel like Rasheed and our bench will step it up in the playoffs.
