On May 9th, Detroit lost another great one in Chuck Daly. Daly was the long-serving Pistons Head Coach and was also the Head Coach of the 1992 Dream Team. Daly brought the Bad Boys Pistons together and made them the enemy of every team in the league. He would lead the Pistons to two titles.
"Daddy Rich" will be missed.
The Tigers, as a result of his death, won that night 4-0 behind a gem from Edwin Jackson.

I think our sweep of Cleveland this weekend was a shout out to Chuck Daly who had his own time in Cleveland.
