The Detroit Pistons seemed the powerhouse in the East for most of the
season so far, but the tide is changing.

They've yet to beat the Bulls this season.

Split decison with the new Boston Celtics

They had a nine game winning streak over the Magic come to an end with a
loss the other night. That's got to do wonders for Orlando's confidence
and future play off hopes. They really WON this game. They held off a
concentrating almost desparate Piston cast down the stretch and even
entered their own heroics to close out before having to face an
overtime.

What's wrong? It can't be fatigue, not with the extensive bench they
have. It could be a mental break down where near mid-season guys start
thinking about all star break and a mini vacation.

At any rate after the break look for Washington, Orlando and the Bulls
to get focused. This race isn't just between two teams. The Heat might
be off, but hot is shall be!
