Little Noise Surrounds Start Of Pistons' Season
Not by design, but the Detroit Pistons' season will begin quietly.
Quietly because the prolonged NBA lockout took much attention off the league, resulting in apathy more than outrage.
Quietly because the Pistons are coming off a dysfunctional season in which their fans, with considerable justification, turned their collective back to the franchise rather observing basketball's version of "Mutiny on the Bounty."
Quietly because the Tigers beat the Yankees in the postseason and nearly advanced to the World Series, the Red Wings are typically contenders to capture the Stanley Cup championship and the Lions have reached the playoffs for the first time since Bill Clinton was President.
