Detroit Pistons moving forward.
DETROIT BASKETBALL is back. This young, talented group led by coach/president Stan Van Gundy is set up for a bright future .I think it’s safe to say since the arrival of Van Gundy the countless years of bleeding have now finally come to an end. We’re talking about a franchise that previously saw six straight conference finals appearance from 2003 through 2008. But until last season, the Pistons hadn’t had a winning record since 2007-08. This was unfamiliar for such a successful franchise like the Pistons.

However, their concentration should be on getting back to the playoffs and winning a series. Accomplish that goal and then see what can happen from there. I’m going to predict sooner or later this team will be the talk of the league
