So...the champagne from the Detroit Shock’s most recent WNBA Championship has gone stale. The Lions have again shown their diehard fans that winning three games this year would be a huge accomplishment. The Detroit Tigers went from being the most talked about team in Major League Baseball (What talent! What potential!), to taking over Kansas City’s spot in the AL Central Division’s murky basement. Let's talk about something positive...the Pistons!!!
The questions about Detroit Pistons basketball this season are as numerous as the pumpkin orange construction cones on I-75. With a new head coach, how will the season go? What is Michael Curry going to do with this squad; slight changes or a complete overhaul of the starting lineup once the regular seasons starts? Will Rasheed Wallace spend most of his court time posting up or as a perimeter player? Are the Pistons going to look old, with their 30-something starting lineup, or is the youthful energy of Jason Maxiell and Amir Johnson going to serve as a shot of Red Bull for the whole squad? Only time will tell. But, if the preseason is any indication, Curry is looking for a concoction of youthful exuberance and veteran leadership to lead the Pistons to a strong regular season record and a desirable seed in the NBA playoffs.
