Will the Pistons make the playoffs?

So the Detroit Pistons are below .500 and are riding a 7 game losing streak. Is it fair to deem the AI experiment a failure? let's contemplate why they suck:
-they couldn't make a three to save their lives
-they lack any form of leadership in the locker room, they have no guy they can consistently look too for guidance
-winning at home should come fairly easy for any good team, the Pistons act as if the Palace is the last place they want to play
-their winning teams were built on defense, that defensive mindset is MIA
-their roster includes a player who is known as the biggest lottery bust of all time, there is even a site dedicated to his abysmal play
-they show zero effort
-they've gone 5-14 since Richard Hamilton has returned from his injury, subtraction by addition?

.....at least they free up salary cap space at the end of the season via Sheed and AI's contracts. Let's chalk this transitional season of theirs up as a loss. BDL rankings list the Pistons 19th overall just edging the Knicks, that's disgraceful. If they squeak into the playoffs they will surely lose in the first round.

Iverson should have never nixed the cornrows:

Big fat No from your mother. I am still upset that they got rid of Ben Wallace and Chauncey Billups. I hold a grudge for a long time.

Danny Boy - Believe it or not, this is the first time I've come across your blog, and needless to say it won't be the last. I can see why you're headed toward an advertising career - my nephews continue to amaze me with their creative abilities!

Per the Pistons, like your mom, I can't get past the fact that Chauncey Billips is gone. (I've finally gotten over Ben Wallace.) Spring Training, anyone?
