Time, date and how to get tickets for Pistons open practice
The Detroit Pistons tipped off training camp this week after holding a media day that was full of the same old stuff.
Every player added multiple moves to their bag, is in the best shape of their life and is committed to bringing back “Detroit Basketball,” stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
It’s difficult to get excited when we’ve heard this tune for the last five seasons only to watch the team be terrible once the games started. Hopefully, this will finally be the year that the veteran additions actually help the young players get better, resulting in some wins and a competitive team.
