In context
WindhorstLike, are we sure that they're going to finish? Are we absolutely sure that they're going to finish in the top six in the East? Like, that is where they are now. That's where the conference is, is where you can't guarantee that. Let me ask you this. How many teams are you absolutely sure finishing in the top six in the East?
Maybe the Knicks?
WindhorstYeah, the Knicks would be the one. Maybe the Celtics because they play a regular knock on the Celtics. You can't be absolutely sure on the Celtics. I'm using your own verbiage. Absolutely sure.
WindhorstYeah, I would say the Knicks are the only ones that you can be almost certain about. Toronto?
No, you don't know. Is Kawhi playing 65 or 15 games? You never know. Win these Cavaliers?
WindhorstNo, I can't say that. You can be optimistic. Absolutely sure. I don't know. We'll get to the Cavaliers here in a little bit. So the Pistons are in an interesting spot.
Sometimes you can be the victim of your own success because of the expectations that success creates.
