Detroit Pistons Schedule 2019 Pistons Schedule

The Pistons made the trade for Blake Griffin last year, which gave them a superstar to float out for the fans and televised market. The Pistons have a handful of televised games this season, starting off with Philly on the 23rd of October. The Pistons have a tough start to the season after Brooklyn and Chicago. They go onto face Philly, and then Boston in a back-to-back. Speaking of back-to-backs, Detroit has an average amount (13) in comparison to the rest of the league. Detroit gets a bump in their division this season not having to see LeBron James. This gives them a potential bump high enough to be a postseason team if they can surpass 40 wins, because we know Cleveland is not going to make it. The Pistons went just 9-7 against their division, which should trend upwards. They have Indiana and Milwaukee as their main competition for moving ahead to the postseason. Against the conference, Detroit went 24-28, and it is hard to see them making a drastic improvement. Detroit should continue to do well against teams below .500, but we know they struggle against the better teams in the league. Under Dwayne Casey, it will be interesting to see if they can make more of a competitive stride in that department. The Pistons went a surprising 15-15 against the Western Conference, and with the conference being so good, you have to say that is very impressive. While we usually don’t look at coaching narratives, Casey will visit Toronto on November 14th, who fired him despite winning Coach Of The Year. The Pistons are going to be one of those borderline teams, and will need to capitalize on the poorer teams like they did last season to at least have a shot at the playoffs.
