What's different about the Pistons this season compared to last?
There's not much difference in the roster, but there's a slight decline in defense.
Last season, the Pistons limited their opponents to an average score of 84 points per game, while this season, their opponents are scoring an average of 90 points.
However, the Pistons clearly shifted gears entering the playoffs, holding the 76ers to an average of 85 points in the first round and even put on a show of a zone defense specifically prepared for Yu Fei in the last game.
