The Detroit Pistons looked pretty decent this year, that is until the team's star player Reggie Jackson returned from the disabled list. The team has lost a lot since his return and its record is now at an unimpressive 19-24.
But don't despair, or so says team owner Tom Gores.
On Sunday night, during halftime of the Pistons’ 102-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at the Staples Center, he talked to the media about his support for Coach and team president Stan Van Gundy, and how he thinks the team can still make the playoffs, reports Rod Beard of The Detroit News. The Pistons are currently in the number 10 spot in east. It needs to get to the eighth spot to make the playoffs.
“We’ve got a bump in the road and that’s what success is about — you have to work through it. It’s all about having rough times and your ability to work through,” Gores said. “I never worry about Stan because he wants to win. He’s the hardest worker I’ve ever seen in my life. I believe in him as a man and I believe in him as a strong person.”
