Here are the comments about the Pistons:

"Last year's top-ranked team moved up in six of eight categories, only to be beaten out by the Spurs (sound familiar?). Minor reason: the Pistons hiked prices ($3 more for parking, $4 more for caps). Bigger reason: losing Larry Brown led to a 33-slot drop in coaching. Even with this season's torrid start, Flip Saunders has to earn the love."
