With lofty expectations of winning over the predicted 38 wins before the season, us Detroit Pistons fans quickly realized that might not be possible. There was a lot of issues that plagued this team early, the primary one of course being one that’s been the bane of the Piston’s existence as of late, injury.
As I unfortunately predicted in my 5 reasons the Pistons won’t make the playoffs article, the Pistons relied a lot on injury prone players heading into the season.
I really thought that Derrick Rose would have been the one to miss serious time but after Reggie Jackson’s “first healthy offseason” he showed his true colors and only played 14 games for Detroit this season before being bought out and signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.
