Detroit Pistons 2015-16 NBA Schedule
By Josh Hill
The NBA season is right around the corner, and the Detroit Pistons know who they have to prepare for on their 2015-16 schedule.
There are a handful of teams in the NBA this season who look like they might be ready to take the next step and make a run at the postseason. The Detroit Pistons are among those teams, but they have a special advantage when it comes to being in the Eastern Conference as opposed to the West like the Wolves, Jazz and Kings. The downside to the Pistons positioning in the East is that they’re in the same division as the Milwaukee Bucks, a team that many experts have near the top of their list when it comes to teams that could take a huge stride in 2015-16.
In fact, the Pistons and Bucks did business this summer that ended up making both teams much better than they were. Detroit acquired Ersan Ilyasova from the Bucks, which cleared space in Milwaukee for former Pistons big man Greg Monroe to be signed. It was a weird win-win trade that wasn’t technically a trade, but still involved one to make it all happen.
That’s not the only link these two teams have to one another. The Pistons, like the Bucks, are ready to pop in the East and could be dangerous is all goes well health-wise for the team. They have a pair of phenomenal guards in Reggie Jackson and Brandon Jennings (another ex-Buck) and have a front court anchored now by Andre Drummond and Ersan Ilyasova.
It all comes down to what the schedule holds, and where the Pistons can take licks when they can and where they can take strides when they need to.
Here’s a look at the complete Detroit Pistons schedule for this upcoming season:
