Desmond Bane dropped 49 points on the Detroit Pistons to lead an injured Memphis Grizzlies past the Pistons and send the Motor City to their 18th straight loss on the season. The Pistons had an 8-point lead in the third quarter, but turnovers and poor shooting fumbled away another opportunity to break this losing streak.

I completely overlooked the politics in this organization. Weaver wanted Ollie while Gores wanted Monty, so Gores can’t fairly fire Weaver since he didn’t let him pick his coach. At the same time, he’s not gonna fire Monty because he has to stand by his decision to hijack the coaching search. It is a complete mess and people aren’t going to get fired soon, nor would it really fix things.
Troy needs to go its simple too many bad moves fire him before he destroys our money next year with old injured players
Monty won’t stopping screwing with the lineup and allow the starters to build chemistry!!! Play Cade, Ivey, Duren, Ausar and Bog for 30+ minutes EVERY GAME so they can grow as a starting core!!! 😡
You have a Hayes fetish man. He is now 29-131 starting. Has marginally improved and might be the most overrated defender in basketball
At this point I’m 100% rooting for the losing streak to exceed 30 games and for the Pistons to finish the season with the worst record in NBA history.
Not out of spite. Not of my disdain for the way this franchise has operated for the past 15 years and for nearly 13 years under Gores.
No.
I want this team to achieve historic levels of embarrassment and infamy because that’s the only way things will ever change with this organization.
The Matt Millen-era Lions sucked for years and nobody cared. When everything finally boiled over in 2008, culminating in the first winless 16-game season in NFL history, the Lions became the hottest story in sports for all the wrong reasons.
No one deemed it feasible for a team to actually lose every single one of its games. And following national backlash, Millen and much of the front office was finally cleaned out en route to a hopeful new era of football in Detroit.
Now while the Lions didn’t end up winning anything of significance in the coming years, they at least became a fairly competitive team and reached the playoffs 3 times in the next 8 years with 4 winning seasons, which was a massive improvement for what had long been the dumpster fire of all pro sports franchises. Had it not been for that sliver of progress, who knows if the Lions would’ve ever become the promising organization they are today?
It took all time levels of ineptitude and a media firestorm to spur that original turning of the tide, and because the media around here is too soft to ever hold this franchise accountable for anything, there is never any pressure on Gores or his consultants to make any real changes to improve the product. In my opinion, local media are 100% culpable in the Pistons’ incompetence due to their inability to speak for the fans who have had it with this franchise.
So if and when the Pistons finish the season 8-74, they will be relentlessly shredded by the national media for being the most pathetic organization in pro sports.
By then, Adam Silver will no doubt have to step in and make something happen. Whether it’s outright forcing Gores to sell the team or at least pressuring him to completely revamp his approach to the business, changes will no doubt be on the way and maybe finally we can have our basketball team back
Because so long as Gores continues to make his millions, he couldn’t care less about how the fans feel.
Until this team bottoms out to historic levels of incompetence, I am 100% certain that the product will always remain more or less the same.

After all star break pistons need to
Just shut down their organization and forfeit the games. What is the point
Once again Killian Hayes plays more minutes than Ivey and stinks it up. Way to go Monty; you're really earning that paycheck.
Great takes , how do we all see these flaws and Monty doesn’t ?? Is he trying to get fired? How is Ivey the LAST bench player to get in the game !!!!?? I dont like these mind games Monty playing with Ivey. Every team is trying to trade for Ivey and we have him as the 11 man off the bench! If we trade Ivey I hope he becomes a hall of famer!
Monty is not good , seems like he’s using actually games as tryouts for the next game, ridiculous!
