Look at that face. That is the face of smug happiness. That is the face of contentment in knowing you made the right decision. That face is Stan Van Gundy, looking happy for probably the first time ever. Why? Because by waiving Josh Smith, the Pistons are suddenly somewhat competitive. <p> </p> <p>Will it be enough to get the Pistons back in the playoff picture (6.5 games back)? Maybe not. But two straight wins — against the Indiana Pacers and the Cleveland Cavaliers in a rout — has to feel good for a team that has finally decided on its frontcourt. Well, for the time being, at least, since Greg Monroe is still playing on that qualifying offer that makes him a free agent this summer.</p>. (7-23). Previous: . Detroit Pistons. 26. team. 64
