 Re: Joe D. On Pistons fans and Detroit fans, being jaded
Parker holds back no punches here. Will it be safe for him to go to a Pistons game? All it takes is one nut case. I give him credit. The man has got guts.
Whether he is correct or not is a matter of opinion. Quote:

Rob Parker:
Pistons need love from Detroit's fans
 AUBURN HILLS --The expectations are so high now that people have been blinded. So much so, they don't even know what they're watching.
The knee-jerk reaction, whenever the Pistons are mentioned, is to always think another team is better and en route to winning the championship.
The Piston-hating in Motown has to stop.
Fans here, for whatever reason, don't love this team unconditionally. And that's wrong. Not only does this team mirror this city better than any other professional squad here, but this team also has done nothing but make fans proud. Most NBA fans would die to have a team that's in the championship mix every year.
Nonetheless, Detroit fans are both spoiled and irrational.
Shame on you. Yeah, you
