DETROIT — Pistons coach Dwane Casey wanted to establish a tone on the first day of training camp, his 28th edition of the annual two-week preparation period leading up to the regular season.
"No excuses."
Those two words were displayed on Casey's gray shirt to serve as a reminder that even though the Pistons have a youthful roster, pulling the inexperience card won't be an acceptable excuse when it comes to competing on a nightly basis.
