	Zeke11 Editorial #2
		The Pistons opened the 1981-82 season against the Milwaukee Bucks on October 30th, 1981.&; The Bucks won the Central Division the season prior going 60-22. The Pistons were just the opposite coming in dead last in their division with a 21-61 record.
		Isiah’s 27 points through the first three quarters kept the game close. In the fourth quarter Isiah provided some foreshadowing for the kind of clutch performances that Piston fans would be treated to for the next 13 seasons. Isiah began to assert himself as the Piston& floor general.
		Isiah was matched against the Bucks Quinn Buckner. Buckner was former Indiana Hoosier by way of Chicago, Illinois just like Thomas. Buckner was a very formidable defender for Isiah, but even he was no match as it took Isiah but nine seconds to score the game’s first basket.

		Long before Sampson bulked up, New Jersey Net Buck Williams, the 1981-82 NBA Rookie of the Year, was an admirer.For two seasons at Maryland the physical Williams effectively guarded Sampson from behind by ramming a knee into Sampson's buttocks.
		Sampson's most efficient tormentor last season was 6' 11", 254-pound Jim Johnstone of Wake Forest, who cannily used his considerable bulk to attain offensive position underneath the rim so Sampson had no room to block Johnstone's banked hook shot.
		Sampson's NCAA tournament experience as a sophomore had ended in a similar bummer after Holland told him that the Cavaliers needed a flurry of points from him if they were to beat North Carolina in the semis at Philadelphia.
