The season has not started well for the Detroit Pistons. The injury bug has struck them and taken away two of the top three players in minutes played last season, Reggie Jackson and Blake Griffin. That fact alone means they have to play a lot of new lineups.
Continuity is a big factor in team play, especially at the beginning of the season, and the Pistons have completely lost that. The players haven’t been able to set into their roles as their roles change with every different lineup Dwane Casey has to put on the floor.
