Detroit Pistons: Why this Warriors game is the biggest in years

The Detroit Pistons can’t lose in this one

This is game where the Pistons have nothing to lose but a ton to gain.

Detroit is currently 4-10, sitting in 14th in the Eastern Conference, though they have won 3-of-5 and are 4-5 in games that feature Cade Cunningham.

The Warriors have the best record in the NBA at 13-2, so no one expects the Pistons to win this game and many have probably written it off as a sure blowout.

There shouldn’t be much pressure on the young Pistons, which will hopefully result in them playing free and easy, making their open shots for once and getting a win at home.

A win against the NBA’s best team is the kind of confidence inspiring victory that could turn the Pistons’ season around, or at least keep them afloat during a brutal 9-game stretch in the schedule.

Even if the Detroit Pistons lose, their young guys are going to get the experience of taking on an elite team, and if they can even hang with them, their confidence will be collectively boosted.

Of course, the Pistons could just get blown out at home, which won’t be fun for anyone, but that is what is supposed to happen, so it won’t be the end of the world for a young team.

I think the Detroit Pistons are going to show up tonight for the home fans and give maximum effort, and if they could steal a win, who knows, it could change the outlook for the season.
