Auburn Hills — The final images of the preseason were of Pistons players, smiling, laughing and enjoying a dunk fest against backups from the Atlanta Hawks.
Now they want the good times to roll Tuesday when they open the regular season against the Hawks at Philips Arena. This is a new look team from the one that began last season 5-23 and revamped its roster on the fly.
Marcus Morris, Stanley Johnson and Steve Blake are among the new faces. Center Andre Drummond has a new game that he continues to perfect and Reggie Jackson begins his new role as the lead guy.
