Yup, that’s me, the Pistons apologist looking totally stupid. You’re probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.
Fair question.
To the uninformed or late-arrivals, there seems to be an angsty divide among the Pistons fanbase when discussing a variety of topics. Headlining the debate is a classic tension: tank and total rebuild vs. build from the middle out.
