Pistons rock Palace in home opener, team is off to a good start.

If the start of a season is an indicator of how well a team can do, then the Pistons are going to have a hell of a good year.

After defeating the Miami Heat and Orlando Magic on the road, Detroit clipped the Atlanta Hawks wings in a thrilling home opener 92-91. The game winner, a Chauncey Billups shot in the last second, kept it from going into overtime.

My question is this. Are the same Pistons that lost to the Cavilers last season? Where was this team in the playoffs when we needed them? Maybe they needed a good kick in the pants to get it together this season. Maybe they are finally showing how good of a team that they really are.

Keep up the good work and castrate the Chicago Bulls.
