The Pistons lost to the Heat last night, so they've reached the end of the road for post-season play.
Now there's talk of the Piston's demise.
From ESPN:
One NBA title. A Game 7 in the Finals. 64 wins this season. Four players in the 2006 All-Star Game.
The Detroit Pistons' run the last three seasons has been amazing.
Unfortunately, Pistons fans, it's over.
The Pistons had their backs against the wall again on Friday night and they did what they don't usually do -- they came up short. The team couldn't make a shot and couldn't stop Miami.
Have we witnessed the end of an era? Is this the '04 Lakers all over again?
Pistons president Joe Dumars doesn't have long to figure out what changes, if any, need to be made to his team.
For starters, Ben Wallace hits free agency July 1.
Then Chauncey Billups wants a big contract extension this fall.
So what's the blueprint for the future?
The sports media like to bash the Pistons like a red-headed stepchild (no offense to red-headed stepchildren everywhere - it's just a saying). I wouldn't count them out and assume that all the great players will automatically scram.
