I actually think the Bobcats game in Jan will mark the turnaround of the season...
Pistons have had a tough stretch of the season, Pistons first 4 day break will come between dec 22 and 26, and they have only had 2 breaks of 3 days. Although we are young, that still is a lot of games with little rest. However, the Pistons schedule after the game against the Wizards on the 22 opens ups and provides for a lot more rest and practice.
Although I do not expect much this season, if we go on a nice +.500 stretch in or after January I would not be incredibly surprised.
