Detroit — A year ago at this time, the Pistons were marinating after a 20-52 season and ruminating on their lottery chances.

Philadelphia — When I started writing on the Pistons beat, I never thought about when the end would come. My mentality was that each game was just part of a continuous cycle each season, connecting to the offseason, to the draft and to the next season. Wash, rinse, repeat. Well, stop repeating. After five years
Regardless of how the Detroit Pistons‘ season ends Sunday in Philadelphia, this has been a successful rebuilding season.
