Well that was fun.
Watching the Pistons soundly handle the two-time returning champion Golden State Warriors on Saturday was an unusually low blood pressure-d affair. It felt more like the way Warriors fans have felt the last four years. Fun, exciting, a bit tense but never really in doubt, even when you look at the numbers and see that they didn’t even shoot that well.
Golden State kept threatening but Detroit calmly kept responding, parrying every blow with an assortment of line ups and styles that honestly must seem a bit disorienting for an opposing coach.
