This was an forgettable season for the Detroit Pistons it started with the ill-fated trade of MVP-candidate Chauncey Billups for Allen Iverson and ended with a four-game sweep at the hands of LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Pistons also saw their 259 game sellout streak at the Palace of Auburn Hills end. By the end of the year Pistons' tix became such an easy draw that the Pistons even offered playoff ducats to the Cavaliers to sell to their season ticket holders.
"The Pistons gave the Cavs permission to e-mail their season-ticket holders with a phone number to call if they wanted tickets to Game 3 or 4, as the team insisted it has done since 1984 with visiting teams during the playoffs. Pistons spokesman Matt Dobek said 140 tickets were sold to Cleveland fans, who responded to the e-mail"
You have to question the Pistons practice of offering up playoff tickets to opposing fans regardless of the number offered.
