OKC Thunder: TI editor power ranking week 9: The shuffle is on
. 14-13. Previous: 14th. Detroit Pistons. 23. team. 64
Hmmm- I seem to recall saying this team was nowhere near as good as the narrative following them. It just didn’t fit the personnel. The Pistons finished week nine with a win ending their six game losing streak.
Detroit is yet another team who don’t perform well on the road and have played the fewest games away from home (11). They’re also tied with Washington, Minnesota, and Atlanta for fewest back to back sets (3).
Considering how poorly the Pistons fare on both fronts they might be in for tough times. Coming up the Pistons will play 10 of 14 (13 of 20) on the road. To start the New Year, Detroit will match their back to back sets total (of three) over the course of 11 games.
Suffice to say the ease of their schedule is about to heat up.
