Detroit Pistons Tickets

Get your Pistons tickets and come to the Palace of Auburn Hills to watch your team pursue their quest for another NBA title. One of the leagues best teams over the last decades, the Pistons reached the finals in 2004 and 2005, winning once.

Pistons General Manager Joe Dumars has been one of the leagues most effective executives, building the Pistons into a consistent performer for whom nothing less than the best is acceptable. In a move thatll send fans looking for cheap Pistons tickets like never before, Dumars engineered another big trade this year when he sent team leader Chauncey Billups, along with Antonio McDyess and Cheikh Samb, to the Denver Nuggets for superstar Allen Iverson.

The following year saw Detroit break through to the NBA finals, where they faced the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers. Pistons tickets were hard to find for the pivotal sixth game, with an amazing performance by Isaiah Thomas, who despite badly spraining his ankle scored 25 points in the third period alone. Despite Thomas heroics, the Pistons lost the game by a point and lost again in game seven by a similarly narrow margin.

The Pistons returned to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1991, where they were defeated by Michael Jordans Chicago Bulls; after that, the team declined rapidly, losing 62 games in 1993-94. Only with Joe Dumars transition from player to General Manager in 2000 did the team begin its ascent back to the top echelons of the NBA.

Point guard Iverson has long been one of the leagues most prolific scorers, with a career average of 27.9 points per game. Other Pistons standouts who make Pistons tickets a hot commodity are shooting guard Richard Hamilton, a three-time all-star who last year averaged 17.3 points per game and is the teams all-time leading scorer in the playoffs; outspoken power forward Rasheed Wallace, known for his unselfish team play and sometimes unsparing criticism of officials, and top defender Tayshaun Prince.

One of the NBAs original teams, the Pistons spent their early years in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and made the NBA finals in 1955 and 1956, losing both times. In 1957, the team moved to Detroit, seeking a larger fan base. The team did not have much success until the 1980s and the arrival of the Bad Boys era. Sold out tickets became a regular occurrence. The Pistons drafted Isaiah Thomas in 1981, and the next year acquired Bill Lambier and Vinnie Johnson in trades. Rick Mahorn and Joe Dumars arrived in 1985, and John Salley and Dennis Rodman were drafted in 1986. By 1987 the team had adopted a more defense-oriented, physical style of play which eventually earned them the nickname of Bad Boys. That year they reached the Eastern Conference Finals, losing a hard-fought series to the Boston Celtics.
