Detroit losing streak continues. Now under .500

Without AI, they won two straight, one being a win versus Garnett less Celtics. I feel sorry for AI.

Mind you, the Celtics won their first two games in the latest stretch with KG out (and did so impressively) and the Jazz have a pretty impressive record for a team for all the combined games missed by a few of their key players.

If I remember correctly, when Rip was injured the Pistons won 7 straight or something like that. Also, the Celtics still play without KG and recently even the Clippers were lucky and won against them. So I wouldn't say it's a big deal, not yet.

5-1 without AI, and Rip's been awesome. Also noteworthy that those 5 wins came from quality teams(maybe in exception of GSW) and 1 loss in a close contest.

However, loss of Sheed isn't good. Hope he will be fine. It's good to see Pistons playing well again.

Hopefully he misses the rest of the season with Iverson.
