Expected to miss extended period of time. Could have serious implications for the playoffs especially since the pistons will probably face the cavaliers with Harden and Mitchell round 2.

A collapsed lung is serious stuff. This isn’t an ankle sprain you can try to rush him back with.

That's crazy. That's 3 major injuries to the best player on an Eastern team in less than 12 months.
How can this NOT be the year the Knicks go to the finals?

He'll be back for the playoffs so much to do about nothing. If anything, he'll be well rested.

Pistons final 14 games:

@ Wizards
Vs. Warriors
Vs. Lakers
Vs. Hawks
Vs. Pelicans
@ Timberwolves
@ Thunder
Vs. Raptors
Vs. Timberwolves
@ 76ers
@ Magic
Vs. Bucks
@ Hornets
@ Pacers

I'm thinking wins over WAS, GSW, NOP, MIL, and IND all but sealed and some competitive games vs ATL, PHI, ORL, CHA.

If they went even 7-7, we'd have to win all of the last 12 to pass them. More likely is it may push Boston to #1 and we could be seeing Detroit in the second round (barring a 1st round exit)...

Well, yes, Harden to CAVS is a factor. Tatum, not sure. He could be a plus or minus at this point. Remains to be seen.
But when can you recall that THREE contending teams in the conference lost their best player in the same year?!!

You asked:
