The Miami Heat and the Detroit Pistons each felt they were playoff-caliber teams coming into the season. Detroit sure backed that up by coming out of their first 20 games with a 13-7 record. Things have since fallen apart for Detroit as they have gone 6-17 over their last 23 to fall five games under .500 and their playoff hopes are starting to look bleak. Miami has turned a poor start into a .500 record having gone 10-5 over their last 15 games. It seems like these teams looked similar in expectations early, but the Pistons have fallen apart while the Heat playing very well. Play on Miami.
