Regardless of how long it may last, there's always a feeling of excitement on opening day. Here's to a good season.

Is the starting lineup officially listed anywhere?

I’ve seen more than one version of speculated lineups.

Blarg.

Not going to lie, super disappointed that Cade won't be playing, amd may not until damn near November, but, *sigh* it is what it is.

At least we get to see this Frankenstein Chicago team.

So what's the starting lineup, or is that being kept under wraps as well?(see what I did there?)

In terms of levels of excitement, that’s like telling a kid on Christmas:

“Well, we couldn’t find a PS5 so we got you a Nintendo 64.”

:lol:

Come on. Who wouldn't want to see Rip Hamilton in a sports bar? Why is anyone knocking that? I'd much rather be doing that then sitting on my couch tonight.

I only stopped by to see if Pistons actually announced the starting lineup. Apparently, they're into being stealth...

hopefully the boys put up a good fight, the bulls were one of the best teams in the regular season (both offensively and defensively). i'm actually glad we get to see the bulls first, i was intrigued by their offseason moves.

go pistons!

It will certainly be interesting to see how the Bulls look, especially the 1/2/3 of Ball/LaVine/DeMar.... All three of those guys like the ball in their hands to operate to a degree so it will be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out this season.

I'm thrilled if we can start 1-1 splitting these first two with the Bulls.

Hey, I'll take a Nintendo 64 right now over nothing. Quake and Quake II were the shizzle.

Idk.. if I was in Detroit and at the game, I'd be stoked to get a pic with Rip.

I'm watching Killian shoot 3s, he isn't doing terribly...

Let’s go Pistons! Super excited as a passionate Pistons fan. I know this year is going to be really rough, but hopefully there’s some light by the end of the season. At the very least I think we’ll learn a lot about the team and what direction we should take. Here’s to a fun season guys.

Can see the crowd at LCA is sparse. Maybe the news of Cade being out hurt turnout, or the crowd hasn't hit the seats yet, or the Pistons are really going to have to prove it this year.

It begins! Another year of DEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBALLLLLL. My expectations aren't super high, i just want to see the youth getting better every game. Cmon Killian, show us why you were picked 7 overall last year!

Hope he does something quick, or this thread is going to get ugly as hell.
