Detroit looks better than Portland and worse than the Trail Blazers lately, but the balance of the Pistons seems unfair. Considering how much progress Detroit has made throughout the championship, it wouldn't be a sensation if Monty Williams' team beat the Blazers and finished their losing streak against them.
