Previous: 24th. Detroit Pistons. 21. team. 64. . 7-13

Offense: (109.7) – 10th
Defense: (110.0) –  20th
Net: (minus -0.3) – 14th

Games Week 6: (2-2) Won vs. Magic, Spurs, Lost to Hornets twice
Games Week 7: (3 games) Tues, Dec. 3 at Cavaliers | Weds, Dec. 4 vs. Bucks | Fri, Dec. 6 vs. Pacers

The Pistons sure are happy they don’t have to play the Hornets more than four times a year or that they aren’t likely to play them in the postseason given their current records.

Three games versus Charlotte and all three came down to the buzzer where the Hornets won each time. The last match between the clubs isn’t until February 10th.

One of the areas to keep an eye on as the season progresses is whether the early 3-point shooting prowess of the Pistons is real or a factor of the teams they’ve played. Through 20 games 12 of the teams Detroit has faced are sub .500 squads.
