Detroit Pistons 2010 Outlook

Detroit Pistons shad a very disappointing season in 08'-09 '. The Pistons have been the benchmark in the Eastern Conference - in 04 'they upset the Los Angeles Lakers highly favored. What we know is the Pistons have played well below his standards accumulating a record of 39-43 - the Pistons will have 4 games below .500 is unprecedented.


The Pistons were 28 to score 30 NBA teams. That's why the Pistons went after Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. In 08'-09 'Charlie Villanueva averaged 16 points per game, the highest of his career and 11/06, it gives the Pistons a certain size in the front.

When teams get new faces people automatically assume the team will improve, this does not always happen. Yes, the Detroit Pistons are a playoff team, but they can compete with Boston? Cleveland? Orlando? The Pistons hope Rodney Stuckey is a franchise leader for years to come. The Pistons still have Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince with a lot of game experience in the playoffs.

The release of Rasheed Wallace could be a blessing because Wallace was playing wherever he could, and was in physical team, but mentally and emotionally, he had already checked.

This season for the Detroit Pistons will be very interesting, because when people speak of the front runners in the East, the pistons are not mentioned. Let's see how working on new acquisitions.
