Ten games. It’s just 10 games. We only have to endure 10 more games of a misbegotten Detroit Pistons season. After the NBA Draft lottery, we will look back at this miserable, disappointing year full of injury and ineffectiveness as either the turning point in the franchise’s fortunes or perhaps the first nail in the coffin of another failed rebuild.
But until we get too existential about which 19-year-old might save Detroit’s future, we have 10 more games. Just 10. This one at least features an interesting subplot in the form of former Piston Saddiq Bey.
