For the last several seasons, the Detroit Pistons have either led the league in back-to-back games or been in the top three, but they are finally off this dubious list.
The Pistons released their schedule yesterday and have just 14 back-to-back games next season, which is below the league average. They had more in the previous four seasons, so the Pistons are finally off the list of the dregs.
I’m not saying the league uses the bad teams to help the good ones by pitting them against each other on the second day of back-to-backs.
