Background - Detroit Pistons
The Pistons were founded by Fred Zollner in 1940 as the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons. A year later the club joined the National Basketball League (NBL), which was composed primarily of teams launched by corporations in the Midwest. Led by guard Bobby McDermott, the Pistons were a dominant force in the league, reaching the NBL championship series in their first year before falling to the Oshkosh All-Stars.
In 1948 the Pistons shifted to the Basketball Association of America (BAA). When the BAA and the NBL merged to form the NBA in 1949, the Pistons were one of the new league's premier teams. The club qualified for the playoffs in each of its first five NBA seasons, advancing to the division finals twice. The 1954-55 team, which featured guard Andy Phillip, forward George Yardley, and center Larry Foust, advanced to the NBA Finals but lost by one point to the Syracuse Nationals in the deciding game. The Pistons lost in the 1956 NBA Finals to the Philadelphia Warriors.
After moving to Detroit in 1957, the Pistons continued to qualify for the playoffs each year until 1964. The team's lineups in that period featured guard Gene Shue, forward Bailey Howell, and forward Dave DeBusschere, who came aboard in 1962. From the mid-1960s through the early 1970s the Pistons slumped.

Detroit Pistons
|
 Last season the team's failure to get back to the NBA Finals forced Joe Dumars hand. He said that no player was untouchable and started the season by trading away Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson. Sports fans feared that the days of the seamless play at the Palace of Auburns Hills was over.
Those with Pistons tickets have watched as the points allowed have crept up while the points scored by the home team have taken a significant dip. The Pistons are 25-19 and will almost assuredly make the playoffs, but the team that managed to go to the Finals twice and win once is over. Iverson has struggled to score and has not been nearly the facilitator as the player he replaced. Richard Hamilton has taken to become the sixth man as Rodney Stuckey slowly takes over the star role on the team.
Antonio McDyess has gone to the bench too, replaced by Amir Johnson. Rasheed Wallace and Tayshaun Prince remain starters and still are valuable contributors. Still the team misses the rebounding from the guard spots, but cannot be disappointed with the lack of turnovers. This may be like a mini-rebuilding season.
The Pistons are going to make the playoffs and fans will enjoy tickets to watch a newly cohesive team come postseason time. The real question is will Iverson be back next season, or will he leave with his expiring contract.
