Back to Work

Lost in all the hoopla over the Detroit Tigers winning the American League Championship is the return of the Pistons to action. The NBA preseason is in full swing and the Pistons are looking pretty good as they get ready to launch another campaign. This one without Ben Wallace holding down the center position. Wallace decided to defect to Central Division rival Chicago during the off season. Nazr Mohammed replaces him and seems to be filling the shoes quite well.

I think Detroit will have another stellar season though I don't see them jumping out to the kind of start they had a year ago. I also don't see them finishing with the best record in basketball again and that would probably be a good thing. That seems to jinx teams. The Shock won their title without having the WNBA's best record. The Tigers are doing quite well having not finished with MLB's best record. Let's see what happens for the Pistons this year.

I look forward to seeing the Pistons when they come down to Charlotte to play the Bobcats on December 3. My ticket is already in hand. GO PISTONS!

Oh, Good Evening!
