6 home games, 7 road games, 4 sets of back to back, 10 teams had +.500 records last year.
How do you think we'll do?
We typically don't too well on West Coast swings and I don't remember having a tough opening month like this one in a couple of seasons.

Re: Pistons first month of the season: November
I think it will take longer to get accustomed to Saunders system than the preseason. As a Piston fan I want to say 13-0...but as a basketball fan and knowing that it wont be an immediate transformation into an offensive machine, I know they will struggle(especially to start the season)and I would be content with a 9-4 to start the year. I just get the feeling that Flip will take some losses to get the team playing his way and to set his rotation.

I'll split my Ucash at each months end between you guys if the Pistons go 13-0. Although I'd like to see it happen, it won't. And although I like your enthusiasm it isn't realistic at all.

Re: Pistons first month of the season: November
It is very hard to predict the first month of the season. I will say this, the Pistons will come strong out the gate. They'll be a top 2 East team record wise at the end of November. They are ready, no championship let down, they are hungry.

Re: Pistons first month of the season: November
It's not unrealistic at all to think Detroit can go 13-0 to start the season. We don't play ANY contenders untill christmas, and unless your Miami, Indiana, or San Antonio, I expect to win every game.
Detroit's bench is NOT to be under-estimated this year. If it performs, we are damn near un-beatable.
Every single one of those games are winnable, no matter who's on it. If Detroit can get into the top 10 on offense this year, while maintainging thier defense, dear god watch out.

Re: Pistons first month of the season: November
9-4 is reasonable maybe 10-3
