Listen up, Detroit. It’s October 6, and while the league is just shaking off the rust with exhibition matchups, your Pistons are already making noise. We kicked things off on Monday, October 5, by grinding out a 109-107 victory over Phoenix. That puts our record at 1-0. I know it’s just preseason, and none of these games count in the standings, but a win is a win, and seeing this squad scrap for every possession feels like the right kind of momentum. With 82 games still ahead of us, the season is live and the mission is clear: we fight for everything. While the rest of the league is still figuring out their rotations in these exhibitions, we are focused on establishing that Motor City identity. We aren't looking back at last year's hardware or awards; we are looking at the grit required to compete in the Central. The roster is hungry, the city is behind them, and we are ready to bring that Bad Boy energy back to the floor every single night. Strap in, Pistons fans—this is going to be a long, hard-nosed ride, and we’re just getting started.
