08-09 Season Recap: The Detroit Pistons went on and broke the season all time record for seasons most wins with the run and gun (With 75-7 record while racking up 116.2 ppg and 36.4 apg). The Pistons made a VERY early trade as they traded McDyess to Memphis for the #1 Draft Pick (Very Strong class) Playoffs came and went on to win the the NBA finals vs. the title hungry Kobe and the Lakers, Pistons won in 6. Although winning the championship, some startling news troubled the Pistons during the offseason as the Pistons signed Ben Gordan that Rip ask to be traded. So they traded Rip to the Jazz for injury prone big man Carlos Boozer and coming off a horrible season (16ppg and 10 rbpg). The Pistons has a bright future as they have the #4 pick R.MacDermott (Big Man from the college if Pittburgh) with a rookie Pg J Ibanez and a 4th stringer Pf J. Cano With the 12 Mil cap space.(Spent it on Ben Gordan, G.Green and Big Man, Sheldan Willams, Draft Bust/Pistons Project D.Johnson) Pistons got R.Turiaf & A.Morrow for M.Almond (As part of the Boozer trade) The Pistons are looking to repeat even though they have a rebuilt roster.

Pistons coaching staff:

Training Camps ends, Regular season about to start, On October 29th 7:00pm Pistons 1st game against bitter division rival, and the rematch of the 09 Eastern conference rival, the Cleveland Cavaliers!!"This is to see if our team is still the real deal" - Micheal
Curry, This game will be a exciting, emotions filled, physical game. This should be fun. Although as fun as it seems, the Cavs face the BULLS at the United Center before playing the Pistons, so fatigue can play a big role.

*History*-Last season the Cavs and Pistons tied the season series 1-1, LBJ also beated CP3 for the MVP Award. but CP3 showed otherwise, in game 1, Cavs gave the Pistons their toughest game in the Playoff, 120-122, the Pistons trailed from late 1st Quarter until late 4th, Paul finished with 37 points, 16 Assists, Lebron scored 42, 6 boards, and 7 dimes. But Pistons took control and won it in 6

October 28 Recap

Upsets:Wolves over Jazz
Wizards beats Magic at home

[MingYao xD]

Detroit wins again in Eastern conference rematch against Lebron and the Cavs!


Close through the 3rd quarter, when Pistons were up by 6, the most they lead was 9, but fatigue, as said would slow down the Cavs as Pistons pulled away. Chris Paul, using the pick & roll, dished out 5 assists in that quarter to help Detroit beat the Cavs. Lebron scored 36, 29 in the second half as he only scored 7 in the first because of foul trouble, as he was the only thing keeping Cleveland alive. Ben Gordan debuted with 18 point, 5 boards, 5 assists, Boozer with 17 and 8 boards, MacDermott with 11,8, and a surprising 6 assists, but 5 TO's, still a project down low. Pistons who lead in least TO's with 9.0 last year, had 18 this game.

1st Quarter recap:"Low" scoring for the Pistons for the Quarter, but luckily Lebron is out with 2 fouls
2nd Quarter recap: Detroit nor Cleveland can find good rhythm in the quarter, Bebron picks up fouls #3, Paul with 18 points in the half.
3rd Quarter recap: Pistons found their mojo, but got too careless as Lebron exploded for 22 points in the quarter
4th Quarter recap: Pistons kept it up, shuts don Cleveland on key possessions, and Detroit win beats the reigning MVP and co.

Good win. It's going to be very difficult to lose with the roster you have.

[MingYao xD]

I know D: , The stupid draft messed my team up

[iamamac]

Wow, I can't imagine Cleveland being that bad :). Nice job, anyway, you got some great players , get O'Neal, too.

[MingYao xD]

They actually got 59 wins, but got 3rd in East, Boston finished with 62 -_-


I can't believe I made the Pistons this good O-O
Next game is against The Indy Pacers (0-0)at 7:30 Pm October 31st

This game has no specific importance besides the infamous brawl at Nov. 12 2005 (Pistons had swept them 4-0 last year)

The recap looks good, although the pictures should be smaller. Re-size them to like 350x250 or smtg. It would look better that way.

Other then that, it looks good.

Ty Ty All ^^

Sorry for the hold-up with the Pacers game D:
I [strike]beat[/strike] them, but didn't upload any pics yet, high school is getting the best of me

Detroit beats Division Rival Indiana Pacers 123-110 (0-2)
CP3 and Carlos Boozer both put up 20 and 10's and put away Danny and Co. Chris Paul was on fire shoot for 12-14, 14 assists, while zero turnovers for the day. Mike Miller lead all scores with 25 and Danny had a nice all around game with 20 points, 7 boards and 7 dimes.

1st. Quarter Recap: The Pistons slowed Indiana offense pretty good and put up 28 points to take a 7 point lead

2nd Quarter Recap: Both offense's started flowing and both teams put up 68 points. But the bench provided a little bit extra to help the Pistons to get a 13 point lead going onto the half.

3rd Quarter Recap: Teams got a little colder, Pacers got close as 7 before Pistons closed out on a 12-4 in the last 2 minutes.

4th Quarter Recap: Pacers still fighted, got them close as 3 with 4 minutes left in the game, Chris Paul did his magic and helped them pull away.
