Detroit — Pistons coach Dwane Casey wanted to establish a tone on the first day of training camp, his 28th edition of the annual two-week preparation period leading up to the regular season. “No excuses.” Those two words were displayed on Casey’s gray shirt to serve as a reminder that even though the Pistons have
Troy Weaver called it “ground zero,” and it’s generating plenty of headlines in the wake of Detroit Pistons media day.
