This was meant to be the season where the Detroit Pistons took the next step and established themselves as one of the better teams in the East.
Even the most conservative predictors generally had the Pistons improving on their drought-breaking playoff berth from last season.
However, after an optimistic beginning to the season without their starting point guard things have gone south.
Quite possibly the biggest negative about this team at the moment is that it’s not a whole lot of fun to watch, and as an observer it doesn’t seem like a whole lot of fun to play on either.
