How the Pistons became a slop bucket of in-fighting

How the Pistons became a slop bucket of in-fighting

Collapse is back!br br We're kicking things off with the ignoble, steep, and rapid plummet of the Bad Boy Pistons. A team that in both 1989 and 1990 celebrated championships! With Isiah Thomas, Bill Laimbeer, and Joe Dumars at the helm, could they go for a three-peat?br br I'm mean, yeah, sure they could go for it... but they wouldn't get it. What they would get instead was embarrassing and even legacy threatening.br br In an attempt to quickly capitalize on aging stars the Pistons refused to die and rebuild. Instead they tried to patch things up with quick fixes which could also be described as rash decisions that jilted cornerstones like Vinne Johnson.br br It led to a bitter locker room full of bad boys-- which led to practices where teammates attacked each other. Or the GM, one guy did strangle the GM, so it wasn't limited to teammates I should clarify that.
