Jonas Jerebko, via Vincent Goodwill of The Detroit News:
""We’re going to the playoffs next year. We know what it takes. You can’t start off a season 4-20 and bounce back."He was asked if he was guaranteeing anything, seeing as how former Piston Rasheed Wallace made headlines years ago with his famous boasts."Yes, sir," said Jerebko with a smile. "We’re a playoff team, with playoff-caliber players.""
I don’t know whether Jerebko will be right, but the Pistons have a reasonable shot of making the playoffs next season – especially if their players prepare as though it’s an expectation.
