The Pistons probably aren’t looking forward to their second game in two nights against Chris Paul and the 33-22 New Orleans Hornets. And as Pistons fans I don’t think I have to tell you why. OK I guess I will tell you a little something that’s eating on all of us right now.
- First time the Pistons fell below .500 after the halfway mark
of the season since 2000-01 - 7 game skid
- Rotation deviation.
- Defensive disarray.
- Locker room tension.
- Lack of leadership.

Here’s a look at the Pistons’ numbers over the last nine seasons, starting with 2000-01, the season before they became a perennial 50-game winner.
