The Walkoff: a love story. The broadcast doesn’t show when the planning started but it was brewing throughout the fourth quarter in the form of Bill Laimbeer, the baddest of the Bad Boys.

Before there was the constantly changing hair, and before there was the Demolition Man hair, there was the 2x DPOY Dennis Rodman. My ode to The Walkoff, which I viewed through new eyes.

They have to decide what to do with Ivey and Duren. They need to get Beasley back. As far as adding players, they need to be careful. You don't want to disrupt the culture you've built because of talent. It'll be a tightrope.

Pressure is a privilege. Moments like last night is what you invest your time for, even when things don't break your way.

Great season. Looking forward to many more to come.

Heartbroken over last night. Not because I expected them to move on, but this group gave everything they had and I hate that their season ended the way it did.

Moving on, it's going to be a long offseason and I expect Trajan Langdon to be very buy. This is where he earns his paycheck.

What an amazing win.

For the first time since 2008, the Pistons will be playing basketball in May.

Let’s see if they can force a game 7.

What an incredible display of toughness from one of the youngest teams on the playoffs.

The longest playoff losing streak is over. The Cade Cunningham era has begun.

Detroit should be an incredible atmosphere for game 3 on Thursday.

Just a gut wrenching game 1 collapse.

That was hard to watch.

This is a young team that may not be ready for this stage. We’ll find out in game 2.

I’m happy Joe got a second chance. He deserves at least one, but his body of work over his last 10 years in Detroit was really, really bad. I think he’s needed this time away to step back and re learn the job.

Absolutely. A big reason there is still so much 90s nostalgia.

I've always wondered where you draw the line between historical significance and individual greatness.

Like Dragon Warrior for example, which introduced much of America to the genre (free of charge).

Detroit Basketball is back in the playoffs.

The Pistons clinch a playoff spot in a win over the Toronto Raptors.

Wrote about how tonight's win over the Raptors exhibits all the reasons for Detroit's turnaround this season and return to the playoffs.

The Pistons without 3 starters with maybe their most impressive win of the season tonight over the Cavs

Their magic number to clinch a playoff spot is down to 2

They officially become the first team in NBA history to triple their win total over two 82 game seasons

Pistons found their mojo tonight.

First season sweep of the Spurs since 2008

All 5 starters recorded at least 3 assists

Defense finally found some traction after a rough couple of weeks

Now begins a tough stretch before the postseason. Hopefully Cade returns after a full week off.
