As a Detroit Pistons fan you would have to say, good riddance to Josh Smith who is such a locker room cancer, and like to chuck up too many shots.  I during the off-season, had the Detroit Pistons as my sleeper team, and from the look of it, I'm going to stick with that.  The departure of Josh Smith I will compare to when the Toronto Raptors traded away Rudy Gay.   What are your thoughts about this 5 game winning streak?  Do you believe the Pistons will make the playoffs?  Send me your comments and thank you for reading Pro Basketball Hoops Land.
