I just recently began covering the Pistons for OPUS Magazine, and I published my first weekly recap earlier today. I'm very excited to be doing this, as I already wanted to follow them closely this year, they're a fun young team. I had the good luck of making it out to the home opener, and the energy at the palace was absolutely astounding!
With that in mind, I was hoping to share my article with you and hopefully get some feedback if that's allowed? I just want to make sure I'm taking things in the right direction, because I really do want to make sure I'm doing the Pistons justice by covering them properly.
I genuinely look forward to getting to know you all over the course of the season and having many spirited discussions with you as we go!
Here's a little snippet from the article, it's my look at the week ahead:
Code: Select all
Looking at the week ahead, the Pistons look to overcome their early season road woes, with a 4-game road trip on the schedule. Monday they will take on the Clippers, Wednesday the Suns, Friday night the Spurs, and cap it off with a rematch against the Nuggets on Saturday. In order to win these games, they’re going to have to win the battles in the paint against the Clippers & Spurs formidable big men. They’ll need to take care of the ball against the Suns and limit them on the glass, in order to limit their ability to get out in transition, and increase their chances of locking them down defensively. Beating the Nuggets will come down to effort, with it being the second night of a back to back, and mental approach, as they have to be careful to not be lulled into a false sense of confidence due to beating the Nuggets in Detroit the week before.Here's the link to the rest of the article in case any of you are interested, thanks in advance! http://opusmagonline.com/features/pistonsweek1ish
