Detroit Pistons 2009 Playoffs
The Detroit Pistons have been collecting titles since they were in Fort Wayne, Indiana and they had rivalry with the Sheboygan Red Skins produced three championship title match ups in the NBL. The Pistons may not have as many titles as the Lakers or the Celtics, but the team has been a major proponent in the postseason since the early 1980s and Isiah Thomas. Pistons playoff tickets saw Thomas and the Bad Boys disrupt the smooth play of the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers with a physicality that won the franchises first NBA championships in 1989 and 1990.
Years later after the Bad Boys disbanded and Isiah became a head coach elsewhere, Detroit brought back the pounding defense and won a title that shocked everyone in 2004. The Western Conference was considered unstoppable with the star-studded lineups of the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs, but the Pisto proved that team ball ruled above all else. The series against the Lakers showed that a collection of very good players like Rasheed Wallace, Ben Wallace, Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, and Tayshaun Prince could overcome the exploits of a couple of superstars. The Pistons took the series 4 games to 1 and became the team to beat in the Eastern Conference for seasons to come, with all playoff tickets coming through the Palace of Auburn Hills for a trip to the finals.
Detroit Pistons Background
The 2008-09 Pistons bring back much of the championship team from a few seasons ago. Ben Wallace has been replaced by Antonio McDyess, but the team still plays the tenacious defense that won them their title in 2004. Billups is the leader of the team on offense and he makes sure that every season there is enough offense to ensure Pistons playoff tickets.
Prince is a long-armed defender who disrupts defenders despite his slight disposition and hits the big threes despite his awkward shot. Richard Hamilton is an expert at running through screens and forcing the other team to look for him, destroying man and zone defenses alike. Players like Rodney Stuckey and Jason Maxiell have carved out a place for themselves with great play off the bench. Pistons fans know that the team is assured playoff tickets with those players, but a championship run would require Kwame Brown to show some of the potential he had years ago and for the other role players to give the starters a break while keeping up the defensive intensity.
