Pistons schedule '13-14

[zeebneeb]

Everyone should expect a rough start. We've got a new coach with a new system and (most likely) 3 new starters who have questionable chemistry on paper. It's going to take a while for these guys to mesh if they ever do. Are Smith and Jennings going to come and still be idiot low percentage chuckers? Is KCP NBA ready? Has Monroe improved his jumper? If Stuckey is the starting SG how do we survive with 3 morons at the 1, 2, 3 who can't shoot but think they can? Has Dre's conditioning improved at all? Will the NBA allow Chauncey to use his rascal on the court? Too many question marks for there to be a solid start. Hope I'm wrong. While we certainly have more talent than last season I don't think it's going to work right off the bat.

Agreed. I was hoping for a creamier schedule to start with, so they can get on track. This is a tough mother, regardless of how many home games we got.

It could have been so much nicer...

happy we get to start our season with Washington. a nice young team who were are supposed to fight for a playoff spot with. I also want to see Wall.

[Dre Drummond]

Our first game will give us a good idea where we're at... Against a team most people have pegged in the 6-7 spot it'll be interesting to see how we do.

I'd guess 7-9 for our first 16... Feel like 6-10 is pretty much worse case and 9-7 is pretty much best case scenario for us.

[Dre Drummond]

Also I feel like Josh Smith is going to be circling those Atlanta games and Jennings that Milwaukee game I feel like we'll win all 3 of those in late Nov.

[Clarity]

I actually like that we start out like this, it will build character.

Wizards on Dec. 30th. My first chance to go to a game in 9 years. Hmm...

[ComboGuardCity]

We got 2 ESPN games. One in November and one in February vs Sac and ORL respectively.

^Call me a homer but I think there's a decent chance when the league gets a hold of the excitement and athleticism our team brings, they may change the schedule and give us a few more. That happened when Blake Griffin started dunking over everyone in his rookie season.

We have 20 back to backs this season, 2nd most in the NBA.

Coming to town in March I think Ill catch that game. Im guessing MSU wont be coming to phx. $241 for 5th row behind the bench. Suns fans are frontrunners they will sell those tickets.
