Like the gritty Motor City that inspired their name, the Detroit Pistons have often garnered their image as a tough, unyielding opponent. Their infamous Bad Boys team of the 1980s, led by point guard Isaiah Thomas, stretched every rule of basketball to bruise and batter their way (twice past Michael Jordan’s Chicago Bulls) to three straight NBA Finals, winning back to back titles in 1989 and 1990. Apart from a purple patch in the early 2000s that brought a third title, however, in recent years, the Pistons have been stuck in the basement of the Eastern Conference. After finishing dead last in 2023-24, diehard Pistons fans will be praying that their team finally turns things around next season. You can help! Buy your tickets from TicketX and be there in Little Caesars Arena in 2024-25 to cheer the Detroit Pistons on!

Rival Teams

Nothing excites NBA basketball fans more than when their team faces off against one of their biggest rivals. Here are two of the Detroit Pistons’ most significant rivalries.

Detroit Pistons vs Chicago Bulls

The Detroit Pistons’ rivalry with the Chicago Bulls will be instantly familiar to anyone who lived through the 1980s or to younger fans who relived all the drama through the The Last Dance, a recent Netflix documentary about Michael Jordan and the Bulls. Far from kowtowing to the Bulls, Isaiah Thomas and his “Bad Boys” thumped their rivals two years in a row en route to winning back to back NBA championships. The Bulls got their own back the third time and never looked back, leaving Detroit in their dust. The rivalry has never reached those heights of enmity again (they’d both be chucked out of the league these days!) but every time Detroit and Boston drive down the I-94 highway to play one another (in any sport) you know that sparks could fly! The Pistons will likely play the Bulls 4 times in the 2024-25 regular season, twice in Chicago and twice in Detroit.

Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics

Detroit and Boston like to beat one another at everything, from baseball to hockey to football (even soccer, more recently!). But the basketball rivalry that developed between Isaiah Thomas’s Detroit Pistons and Larry Bird’s Boston Celtics in the 1980s took this to a whole new level, with numerous brutal but enthralling playoff clashes between the teams that saw Boston win twice and Detroit emerge victorious three times (en route to three straight NBA Finals appearances and two titles). While the Celtics are now much stronger than the struggling Pistons, the boys from Boston can never take a win for granted when they come to Detroit! The Pistons will likely play the Celtics 4 times in the 2024-25 regular season, twice in Chicago and twice in Detroit.
