Pistons Fans — Step up your Game

From Bill Simmons' latest chat.

"One more thing on the Pistons: What happened to those fans????? They used to have one of the best crowds in the league - now you're banging Thundersticks and wearing white T-shirts and clamming up when your team falls behind? What happened to the fans who used to throw beers on opposing players and charge on the court to fight them? Deeee-troit Basssssssketball has gone soft. You need to do some soul-searching this summer. "

This is very true. I was able to buy tickets to a round 2 playoff game for $4.75. No, not $475, but $4.75. I forgot that we used to riot in the Palace.

Even worse, we used to make fun of the Heat for a having to resort to a 'whiteout' during the playoffs. Three years later, the Pistons try the same thing and it fails miserably. It failed so bad that for the next home game they had to ask fans to wear 'red, white and blue.' THOSE ARE THE PISTONS COLORS! Who was going to these games not wearing those colors?

We as fans need to pick up our game if we want the team to do the same as well. Bring back the Malice at the Palace!
