The Detroit Pistons fired head coach Maurice Cheeks after an abysmal start to the season has the team sinking lower and lower in the Eastern Conference. One thing that Pistons fans were calling for was change and they got that change in the form of Cheeks being fired.

Many think that Joe Dumars will be next, as he’s thrown many coaches under the bus in recent years. But for right now it’s Cheeks falling on the sword for the Pistons’ woes, and fans took to Twitter to react and express confusion over the major change that occurred on Sunday morning that saw Cheeks fired and not Dumars.
