Chicago — There’s a new sheriff in town.
Actually, there might be a couple of sheriffs for the Pistons. Of course, new coach Dwane Casey has made his mark in his short stint at the helm, but Blake Griffin seems to have a de facto badge on his jersey.
Griffin has taken a much more vocal leadership platform since arriving in late January, but more especially, in the early part of the regular season.
Casey has helped the Pistons to a 2-0 mark but Griffin has been doing a little of everything on the court, including 33 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in Saturday’s win over the Bulls.
