Change from last year: +21The Pistons were ranked 84th in the 122-franchise ranking. I’m not sure what to make of this ranking — I really haven’t ever known — because it’s arbitrary despite being layered with seemingly important variables.
These rankings aren’t particularly kind to the Pistons, in part, because the Pistons haven’t been particularly kind to their fans over the past seven seasons.
