The Detroit Pistons exit the All-Star break with the best record in the NBA and a remarkably balanced rotation. Between their All-Star duo of Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren, their defensive specialists led by Isaiah Stewart and Ausar Thompson, and their offensive dynamos such as Duncan Robinson and Caris LeVert, Detroit has a bit of everything.
When the postseason begins and the best team in the Eastern Conference attempts to earn its reputation, however, the Pistons will need to shorten their rotation.
It's not necessarily an indictment of Detroit, but more an acknowledgement of how teams typically approach the playoffs.
