Jerebko: Next Year We’ll Make Playoffs

You’ll have to pardon a few of the Pistons if their win over the Raptors on Sunday didn’t excite them much before heading out to Indianapolis for their second-to-last game tonight.

Pistons forward Jonas Jerebko sat in his locker, quietly looking around and made a telling, but not arrogant, vow.

“I don’t want to go through this again,” Jerebko said. “We’re going to the playoffs next year. We know what it takes. You can’t start off a season 4-20 and bounce back.”

He was asked if he was guaranteeing anything, seeing as how former Piston Rasheed Wallace made headlines years ago with his famous boasts.

“Yes, sir,” said Jerebko with a smile. “We’re a playoff team, with playoff-caliber players.”
