It would be nice, but they'd have to only have 5 losses in the second half of the season as well. I just can't imagine the Pistons keeping this type of execution up throughout the entire year. At some point, they have to lose more than one game in a row.
Think of how unrealistic it is to firmly believe any team can only lose 10 games in an entire season. 10 games in 82. Only 10 losses throughout, what, 5 West Coast trips? How many back-to-backs on weary legs?
I think the media is really doing the Pistons a disservice by continually thrusting 72 wins in their face. They're setting them up to fail. If they don't reach 70 wins now, we'll feel a little bit let down after having to hear about it all season long.
