NBA Power Rankings: Is it time to start talking about San Antonio Spurs?

64. Things for the Detroit Pistons have been a bit up-and-down most of this season. They finally have Reggie Jackson back, but they had to send Stanley Johnson down to the NBA Development League to get him some playing time. Johnson has fallen out of favor with Stan Van Gundy and had begun to rack up DNP-CDs (did not play, coaching decision) of late and saw fellow second-year player Darrun Hilliard take his place in the Pistons rotation. If anyone can get this team back on track it’s Van Gundy. Yet, it looks like Jackson is ready and willing to derail their chances at every and any turn. After word leaked that there have been grumbles in the Detroit locker room that the team isn’t happy with Jackson’s shoot-first style of play (downside of playing with Ish Smith too long –Smith doesn’t even shoot, he passes the ball to the rim). Jackson properly responded by shooting just five shots and playing one of his worst games as the team got shellacked by the Chicago Bulls on the road.. 14-16. . Detroit Pistons. 17. team
