The Detroit Pistons are an encapsulation of the old saying, “no rest for the weary.”
They’re 1-7 and have played the second-hardest schedule in the NBA. You could argue that six of those games, including tonight, have come against teams with realistic expectations of competing for a Finals berth.
It’s been rough. Not because of the losses, the losses, as we learned last year, are #good. It’s the fact that they’ve gotten their doors blown off in half of these games, and the ones they have hung around, they’ve done so in a not-so-aesthetically-pleasing style.
