Listen up, Detroit. It’s Tuesday, October 13, and the Motor City is buzzing. Our Pistons are sitting at 1-1, and let me tell you, we’ve got 82 games of pure grit ahead of us. The season is live, the intensity is rising, and nothing is decided yet. Don't get twisted by these exhibition games—they don't count in the standings. Yesterday, October 12, we saw some preseason action with Portland crushing London 119-66, Atlanta edging OKC 113-110, Brooklyn taking down Washington 131-122, Minnesota handling New York 122-104, and Utah beating San Antonio 119-109. Those were just tune-ups. Tonight, the league has CLE @ ORL, NY @ TOR, IND @ OKC, GS @ LAL, and POR @ SAC on the docket, but for us, it’s all about building that championship DNA. We don't care about the exhibition hype; we care about the blue-collar work ethic that puts rings on fingers. The rest of the league can play their games, but we’re focused on climbing the Central Division ladder. Keep your heads high and your laces tied tight. It’s a long road, but the Pistons are ready to scrap for every single possession. Let’s get to work.
