The Pistons passed their first test www.freep.com/story/sports...Oct 21 Open postRush @yorush.bsky.socialBlueskyI went back and checked NBA opening day schedules from 2000-01 through last season and couldn’t find any afternoon games.
I couldn’t verify anything before that, but yesterday’s Celtics-Pistons 3pm ET tipoff seems to be the first non-weekend/holiday afternoon one in at least the last 25+ years.Oct 21 Open postNoa Dalzell @noadalzell.bsky.socialBlueskyNEW STORY: There was a massive bright spot in the Celtics' opening day loss to the Detroit Pistons: Paul George, who poured in 38 points and 5 steals.
He's the healthiest he's felt in years.
"He was unbelievable."

Game notes and analysis from #DetroitBasketball opening day winOct 20 Open postKeith Langlois @kml7.bsky.socialBlueskyThat the NBA entrusted the Pistons with the season's first national showcase is a sign of how far they've come. That the Pistons are more focused on playing the season's final showcase tells you where they want to go.
