I have chosen to write about the Detroit Pistons. I have grown up watching the Detroit Pistons from my TV at home to going to the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit and watching them play live. In the last couple of years the Detroit Pistons have not been doing very good as a team. Back in 2004 they were the champions and every year after that they made it to the NBA finals until the 2008-09 season when they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs. Every year since the 2008-2009 the Detroit Pistons have struggle tremendously, there were a great deal of changes made to the team after the 2007-08 season when Joe Demars decided that there needed to be some changes made because they made it to the finals every year since winning the championship but could not get the championship again.
The season 2008-09 where Joe Demars made the changes, started a unlucky streak for the team. In 2008-09 season they made it to the playoffs, but got swept by the Cleveland Cavaliers. In the next season 2009-10 they were eliminated from the playoffs and had their worst record since 1994. In the 2010-11 season the Detroit Pistons did a little bit better by a few games but still didn’t make it to the playoffs for the second season in a row. In the April of 2011 the team has been sold to Tome Gores and they have hired a new coach for the 2011-12 season. The 2011-12 season is about ready to start in November. On October 4, 2011 the NBA canceled the remainder of the pre-season games. Hopefully with the new coach and new owner, this season is a better season then the past two years have been for the team.
I wouldnt say the Pistons are my favroite but probally my second favorite. The only time they were my favorite was when they had Allen Iverson becuase he was my favorite player at the time. I have no idea what im gonna do if the NBA lockout goes for the whole season.
