Here are the Pistons again, Central Division champs and the East’s 2nd-seeded team with a 59-23 record. Here they are with another chance to get it done as quickly and painlessly as possible in the early rounds of the postseason. And here they are, once again, determined to cement their legacy as one of the best teams in NBA history. The upstart Philadelphia 76ers, could care less about legacies.
