The bigger conversation, John, the Pistons are winning and the wings are hanging on to a

playoff spot by a thread.

Are the Pistons actually going to apply more pressure on Steve Eiserman?

If the Pistons make the playoffs, if they go from the worst in franchise history, flip it on

its head, it may even have home court in the NBA playoffs and the wings don't make it.

Like that would put

even more on Steve Iserman would it not it would have to um and we all understand there's

differences between sports between timelines between development all of those different things

but when you have a team in your same city and whether whether it's the lions, the tigers, but especially

the Pistons who had a historically bad year last year, there's a coaching change.

There is a concerted effort to go out there and add some players that make your current

roster better, that make the players that make your current roster better,

that make the players that are on your roster better.

And there's a big turnaround.

I got to believe that, especially if we've talked about this,

all four teams have the chance to make the playoffs, it's never happened.

But when you have every other team and the fan bases are getting energized because they are competitive,

because they are a team that is going to be a postseason team,

I don't think there's any other way to look at it than, yeah, it's putting pressure on Steve Eisenberg.

It's putting pressure on the Red Wings franchise to be a postseason team.

You can't be the one left behind here.

The one that just keeps getting close but never getting it done?
