Due to the team’s long term history in the league the Pistons are considered as one of the strongest teams in the professional basketball league.
The Pistons are based in Detroit, Michigan and play their home games at the Place of Auburn Hills since 1988.
The Pistons have won 5 championships, 2 of them when they were part of the NBL. Plus, they have won 7 Conference titles and 15 Division titles.
During the 1980’s the team’s most fierce full rival were the Bulls. A period in which the team was known as the “Bad Boys” due to their rough and physical style of playing.
The Pistons Hall of Fame consists of great players such as: Dave Bing, Dave DeBusschere, Joe Dumars, Bob Houbregs, Bob Lanier, Bobby McDermott and Isiah Thomas.
Last season, they finished with an overall record of 53-29 and a winning percentage of .646; the team managed to clinch the Division title. |
