Heading into the 2019-2020 NBA season the expectations were higher than they’ve been in recent years for the Detroit Pistons. Coming off of a 41 win season in which they returned to the playoffs, fans were hoping to build on that success.
There was uncertainty surrounding the health of Blake Griffin, but it was believed that Detroit had constructed a roster that could get them over the hump and maybe come away with a playoff series win.
The tone was set early thanks to the performances of Luke Kennard and Andre Drummond on opening night against the Indiana Pacers.
