Detroit vs. Everybody.

If you’re getting tired of hearing that mantra, well, sorry. You should get used to hearing it a lot again, and then more and more, this upcoming season.

As the Pistons prep to shed the doggy doldrums of summer and head into September for another training camp, the team’s largely being underestimated by just about everybody who doesn’t bleed the team’s colors.

For whatever reason, the Pistons can’t seem to shake the negative reviews and poor prospectives, all after they put up a plucky nationally televised effort in getting swept by the Ohio team that went on to take the Eastern Conference in much easier fashion and beat the almost-unbeatable Golden State Warriors to win the NBA championship.
