Detroit Pistons about to learn playoff basketball is a different game

4 days ago | detroitbadboys.com | Sean Corp

David Reginek-Imagn Images The Detroit Pistons had one of NBA history’s most magical runs in the regular season, more than tripling their win total from one season to the next. That’s over. Today, the playoffs begin, and the Pistons are about to learn that this is a different game. The question, ultimately, is, are they ready? There are two possibilities. One, they do what they did all year in the regular season and they rise to the occasion.

Writer’s note: To get the full context of what was the catalyst that led to this piece, I strongly recommend reading Shawn Windsor’s column in the Free Press. Where to begin? How does one capture the power of a community that, through thick and thin (mostly thin these days), is stronger than ever? A blog that, while Sean and the staff can’t divulge, HAS to be one of the most popular across all of SBNation?
Pistons vs. Bucks final score: Detroit drops season finale in OT as many players sit out for both teams

Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images The Detroit Pistons dropped their season finale 140-133 in overtime against the Milwaukee Bucks. With playoff seeding locked up for both teams, the squads sat out plenty of players and limited the minutes of others. Cade Cunningham sat out as did Giannis Antetokounmpo. It was an opportunity for young guys to play and, in the case of veteran Pat Connaughton, a chance to go nuclear.

Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty Images The Detroit Pistons wrap up their impressive 2024-25 season with a featured game on ESPN against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Pistons lost to the Bucks on Friday, which locked them into the sixth seed and a playoff date with the New York Knicks. That means this game is basically meaningless for both teams. That fact begs the question — who is actually going to play in this one?

Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty Images The good news following the Detroit PIstons’ loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday is that they know their playoff fate. They will face the New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs. Detroit enters the series as the sixth seed and the Knicks are locked in as the three seed in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons won three of four against the Knicks this season, most recently a 115-106 win on April 10.

Photo by Mike Mulholland/Getty Images The Detroit Pistons played hard for 48 minutes, but Giannis Antetokounmpo proved too talented and the Milwaukee Bucks’ execution was superior as Pistons fell 125-119. The loss means the Pistons are guaranteed the sixth seed and a playoff matchup with the New York Knicks. With the win, the Bucks will retain the fifth seed. Giannis was a monster all game, notching his 11th triple-double with 32 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds for the Bucks.

If the Pistons win tonight at home at Little Caesars Arena, then Sunday’s season finale against the Bucks in Milwaukee will determine who gets the fifth seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. If the Pistons lose tonight, that game effectively means nothing. The Pistons have played the Bucks twice and lost twice.
Pistons vs Bucks preview: 5th seed in the Playoffs up for grabs

Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images It is time to play for all the marbles as we close out the 2024-2025 regular season with two games against the Milwaukee Bucks. I am not sure how much being the 5th seed matters to either of these teams, but both teams are expected to have pretty much their full rotation available, so I guess that tells you this at least matters a little bit to both of these teams.

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Detroit Pistons are the best story in the NBA this season, tripling their win total from last season and securing their first playoff berth since 2018-19. Whatever magical pixie dust was sprinkled on them has worn off in the last month. They are just 8-9 since March 5 and have taken a step back on both ends of the floor. The goal was to make the playoffs, and they’ve done that.
