After tonight’s shocking loss to the Orlando “Our coach is a walking pink slip” Magic, the Detroit Pistons have still yet to win a home playoff game in almost 20 years.
That was Game 4 of the 2008 Eastern Conference Finals, for the record. 94-75 was the final score all the way back on May 26, 2008 where they thoroughly pounded the Celtics into paste.
You want to know how long ago that was? Antonio McDyess led the team in points and rebounds with a 21⁄16 double-double. The man was a post-championship rotation player who averaged less than points that season for the Pistons.
The Pistons play at home in a couple more days so hopefully fans won’t have to wait much longer to see their team win in their arena rather than on the road.
