Outlook

Though they stayed in the game with the Celtics in last night’s 105-100 loss, the Pistons have now lost four straight. Again. Detroit won’t make the playoffs. New York won’t either. You probably don’t want to watch this game alone, so head over to Daily Dime Live tonight for at least some form of guaranteed entertainment. (Did we mention how awesome it is?)
