Background - Detroit Pistons
The Pistons reached the NBA Finals in 1955 and 1956 but failed to win the championship. In the late 1980s and early 1990s the Pistons were one of the top squads in the league, reaching the NBA Finals from 1988 to 1990 and winning championship titles in 1989 and 1990. Guard Isiah Thomas led the team, which was nicknamed the Bad Boys for the bruising style of play of such stars as center Bill Laimbeer, guard Joe Dumars, and forwards Rick Mahorn and Dennis Rodman.
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 2009-10 Season Preview
|
 The Detroit Pistons and their fans have high expectations for their key offseason acquisitions, Ben Gordon from Chicago and Charlie Villanueva from Milwaukee, who will be working to share the ball with established Pistons stars Rodney Stuckey and Richard Hamilton. Fan favorite Ben Wallace is also back in Detroit, and will be looking to once again become the same player he was when the Pistons won the championship with him a few years ago. Last season was a stormy one for the Detroit Pistons. First, Chauncey Billups was traded to Denver, with Motown receiving Allen Iverson in return. Unfortunately, head coach Michael Curry seemingly never gained the confidence of his players, especially Iverson, and after having reached six consecutive Eastern Conference Finals, the proud Pistons were swept out of the first round by Cleveland, with Cavaliers fans adding insult to injury by taking over the Palace of Auburn Hills. In the end, General Manager Joe Dumars found himself with quite the offseason challenge ahead of him. With defense no longer the cornerstone in Detroit, these Pistons are definitely not the team many have grown accustomed to. The new Detroit Pistons are being built around scoring and shooting, with Gordon and Villanueva expected to provide new coach John Kuester with a lot of firepower at the offensive end. Defensively, the Pistons will be looking to Kwame Brown to finally play to the potential that has eluded him so far during his time in the league, in addition to key returnee Ben Wallace to bring back some of the fire he was so well known for in his previous stint on Detroit. While the days of automatic Eastern Conference Finals appearances may be over in Detroit, the Pistons should be much more fun to watch this year than in the past. Get your tickets now and come take back the Palace of Auburn Hills, as the Detroit Pistons look to regain their position at the top of the Central Division, Eastern Conference, and eventually the entire NBA once again.
