The pistons are a big threat to the first half of the playoffs in the playoffs.

Before the deal, the pistons were defensive teams!

With griffin, the pistons are more balanced!

I wouldn't be surprised if the pistons reached the eastern conference finals!

Detroit Pistons is one of the good team in the NBA that having a good stats in terms of defense. Now with the additional of Blake Griffin, the defense was way more improved while at the same time, they also got an offense to this player. Griffin is also still on his peak so the trade benefited the Detroit Pistons.

But on the other hand, we can't say easily that Clippers must feel bad about the trade. Maybe this year it's bad but who knows what kind of potential those first round picks they will got in the future in exchange for Blake Griifin. Im surprised why Clippers already sealed the rights for those picks so early and traded their main man. Maybe they seen a "big potential" or maximing salary space because there is a rumor that DeAndre Jordan will also be market. What a space will be left on them if that will happened.

And they are back at 500 with those solid wins and with Griffin they are looking better and better. I hope they get into a good playoff spot because they can really upset those super teams. Portland looks lackluster though and they don't have any answers specially when Pistons started to pull away. One thing I noticed is that Griffin adjusted fairly quickly to the team. Maybe he really wants to prove something, specially against his detractors. Let's see how it goes for Detroit if they are going to make it the playoffs or not.

Looks like the "MAGIC" wants a piece of Giannis Antetokounmpo on the Los Angeles Lakers. Hmm not that bad if the deal is right but Giannis already stated that "HE IS LOYAL" for the Milwaukee Bucks. He is to young and the wind can changed it's direction anytime.

Any deal would have a loss!

But the clippers want the future, and they have a lot of draft picks in the future!

And since griffin's gone, the clippers have done a good job!

Or, after getting a lot of new talent, the clippers can quickly return to the strong team!

Currently, Looks like Golden State Warriors don't have a chance to win this match because Oklahoma City Thunder is now leading 20 points with 6 mins remaining in the fourth quarter. But if you're a fan of Golden State Warriors you'll still bet for Golden State Warriors. We all know the 3's splash brother! x8 if you bet now in cloudbet.com .

OKC met the warriors, westbrook and durant's grudges!

Helpless warriors are defeated again!

The warriors want to defend their title not as easily as they thought at the beginning of the season!

OKC is quite inconsistent but given the fact that they can play like that, GSW will be in a lot of trouble. Though, having that said Rockets and the wolves are still out there which is a much contender for the championship.

It's Basketball, Even great players fall, Even Best teams lose. In basketball, calls will not always in your favor, players have there on and off games.

I'm hoping that Steve Kerr would re-evaluate what happens today. It seems that GSW is overconfident this season. He must break it and start making some good things happen.

That's why I'm not underestimating every team in the league. They are all reliable and making miracles each game, this game is one of the best for OKC now and feel bad for the GSW especially with the fans. Better luck next time. Although Warriors still have a decent standing after this lose.

Too early to speculate. I'm done giving the same thoughts with what you are believing. What I'm thinking now that any team is capable of beating each other and I don't want to be confident to any of them now. They are all good when it comes to game plays and performances but it can't also be remove that there are times that they are throwing and not playing well.
