Pistons Coach Monty Williams’ Postgame @JeffSkverskyYouTube
Pistons: 9th team in NBA history with 20+ consecutive losses in a season – The NBA losing streak record is 28 games.
Pistons next 2 games vs #Sixers who own records
vs. 76ers
@ 76ers
“As much as this losing hurts us, and it hurts like you can’t believe, I see a lot of growth,” Pistons coach Monty Williams said. “I’m encouraged by some of the things we saw tonight. We just need to build on them.”
The 76ers hold both NBA records for losing streaks, setting the single-season mark at 26 games in a row in 2013-14, and the overall mark at 28 games that spanned two seasons, from the end of 2015-16 through the start of 2016-17.
The Pistons’ 20-game skid matches the sixth-longest single-season losing streak in NBA history, and ties the longest losing streak by any team in NBA history that entered the streak with a winning record
“I thought the way we closed to halftime was something that kind of took the wind out of our sails a little bit,” Williams said. “We’re still learning that everything we do in the meat of the game has an effect on the end.”
The Pistons host the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

Losing 20 straight games is nuts.
Terrible coach
You too soft man patty caking what bro
Only eight more chances to go 😝 😛 😂 😛
He fire 🔥 tonight I think this is a pistons home game they should had fire him right in da spot in the gym
23 games into the season and he still hasn't figured out his f'ing team. He still is taking Cade off the ball, starting Hayes, trying to make Stewart a stretch 4, etc. His rotations are trash. He could start by making Hayes the backup PG, where he thrives, and Stewart the backup Center. Move Boggy to the 4, start Ausur Cade and Ivey. Teach Cade better habits protecting the ball, mostly on lazy passes. Let him grow through the turnovers and make them growing pains that he matures past. Make the lineup have some damn sense to it. Where it has aspects of good defense and has an ability to generate baskets. Burks is the backup wing scoring option and they can still rotate in Bagley for buckets or Livers for shooting. These players already have well defined skills and their utility shouldn't be such a damn mystery. Monty seems incapable of figuring out what should be incredibly obvious. None of this is their biggest issue though, the rotation and minutes shouldn't be his focus, the team can't play a lick of defense and it is an absolute mess. Easy buckets all day no matter who they play and the offense is always trying to catch up with the pace and scoring the defense is giving…this fatigues the team and they fall apart in the 4th quarter game in and out no matter how well they played the first 3 q's. And until he teaches these men their responsibilies in simple stuff like getting back in transition, when to go under or when to go under the screen, when to stunt, etc, then they'll lose every game the entire season. If I was him, I wouldn't even take the court in practice for the next week or so and I am dead serious. Nothing but film room, every play, every game the last week or so, and I'd be stopping the film constantly and pointing out every single mistake and what they should have done. It is as if they have collected a ton of young talented players that have never learned how to actually play team basketball and somehow have made it to the NBA despite this reality. Might be why so many teams draft dudes from Europe now, they know they are already coached on the basic team fundamentals and it is just player development that they gotta focus on for the most part. That the Pistons young team is a result of basketball culture in this country (AAU, etc)…along that same thought, also why team USA is no longer the dominant force on the world stage and probably never will be again.
only saving grace for this team is december 21st and the spurs being trash
FIRE MONTY WILLIAMS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!
Monte Williams robbed tf out of the Pistons and their fan base wholeheartedly. Dude just dgaf 😂 wow
Him and doc are overrated coaches he’s not that good of a coach great guy much respect but he’s not a coach it’s proven he’s a assistant at best.. but guys like hun ty lue will continue to get jobs because of the NBA circles they are yes men to a organization..
This dude is a failure of a coach…Eat that 80mil and get somebody in who is not going to bench the best players do to his personal feelings
