Pistons begin pre-sale for playoff tickets

I received an email on Thursday announcing a presale of Detroit Pistons playoff tickets. This is really happening, isn't it?

I actually saw this first on The Detroit News, but when I read that the team sent out an email to select fans, I thought to myself, "Hey! I might be a select fan." And then I found the email.

The prices, according to the News, range from $25 for upper-level seats to $2,475 for VIP seating. PICK A SIDE.

According to 538, the Pistons playoff odds are at 85 percent right now. With seven games to go and a two-game cushion, the Pistons are warming the engines, perhaps rightfully so...
