Pistons Preview: Pistons @ Bulls

By Calvin Little

The NBA season is underway, and tonight the Detroit Pistons take a trip to Chicago to take on a rival Bulls team. Last season, the Pistons had a really nice season, and found their way into the NBA playoffs, where they squared off against the New York Knicks. The Pistons kept it interesting, but ultimately got bounced in game 6. This year they look to bounce back.

When it comes to the Pistons season, it's no doubt there a fun team to watch. However, fun is only so good until things go poorly, and the wins become harder to come by. I think a reasonable goal for the Pistons this year is a playoff series win. NBA Finals? Not impossible, but I wouldn't set the bar that high. Remember, this is a process, and unlike other sports leagues, that process goes pretty quick in the NBA.

I think a key thing the Pistons have done this season to put them in this position is building a roster that's got good pieces all around it. Unlike other bad teams who build their whole identity around 1 guy (such as the Pelicans and Zion Williamson) this Pistons team has got guys like Jaden Ivey, Cade Cunningham, and many other stars. I think we are in for a good season.
