[BREAKING NEWS] ESPN on Pistons tie NBA record with 26th straight loss after 126-115 loss to Nets

Pistons are still putrid 20 stuff and they you know they they they they toughed it out they stuck it out um Cavaliers you know eventually LeBron James would come back and lead him to a title that was during you know LeBron’s days there but uh look this is this is

Like kind of laughable at this point I mean this is embarrassing um they’re now two wins away excuse me they they’d love to have two wins they only have two wins last time they won a game they won back-to-back games in October they are now 2 and

26 2 and 27 2 and 27 2 and 27 too short of tying the all-time record I I mean this is bad I feel bad for the Pistons fans you know they thinking they were going to get a a competitive team and um they’re they’re not uh they are 2 and 27

Yikes well wel CBS Sports NBA writer Bill Ryder Bill the Pistons are putrid 26 straight losses why can’t they win a game I I mean I’m I’m trying to hold a laugh in asking this question to you I feel so bad for this organization

And you said to the fans I don’t have a good answer I mean they they shouldn’t be this this bad Kade Cunningham Al alone I think just pure talent ability some of the growth we saw after his rookie year at the end of his rookie year they should be good enough to to

Win more games than they certainly have and and and fend off this putrid as you put it losing streak you noted the fact that they lead the NBA in turnovers they are awful in the NBA the worst at three-point shooting those two things and are and and sort of experience right

Having some veterans are considered the the the Holy Grail the the triumphant the three things you really need to be competitive so on the other side of the equation obviously being horrible two of them and being a very very young basketball team is a problem but that’s

Just a bunch of words I’m trying to explain something that’s inexplicable AEM I don’t know maybe they should be bad but humiliating incompetent historically awful talking about them for the reasons we are I I have no good explanation and talking to people around the NBA not neither do they Pistons owner Tom Gore

Said that there would be change he said fans Des serve an answer is firing GM Troy Weaver Andor Monty Williams the answer Monty Williams in his first the easy answer because he does not have a sixy year nearly $80 million contract that he just he just began and and and

So yes I think there’s a scenario where where he gets fired a Keem it certainly would make sense Monty Williams though having this deal and having this contract and having that kind of investment on the one hand it makes him I think unfireable certainly people I’ve

Talked to think he can’t be fired on the other hand that money that contract that level of investment the belief that they had in Detroit and they sold the fans hey we’re going to be interesting competitive young a team on the rise comparisons to the Thunder maybe from

Last year you know we won’t make the playoffs necessarily but we’ll we’ll be heading in the right direction the fact they gave all this money to Mon and sold this Vision I I don’t see how they actually fire him just because of what they’re on the hook for yeah they went

17-65 last season I I in all seriousness I don’t know that they’re going to get to 17 wins um this season they may not get to seven wins you and I are you and I have to be professionals about this and and we’re giggling a little bit because this is

Silly and you feel bad for the organization but people are on the league how are they are they are they are they nice or are they like laughing there you know what’s on about this no they’re they’re they’re not getting themselves on Santa’s nice list on on

This one a I’m trying not to laugh but it really is I I actually feel bad like I I do and I’m from the Midwest I’m from Iowa right it ain’t Michigan but but it’s that part of the country I feel awful no people are not particularly kind in competitive businesses this is

True in our business it’s true in politics it’s true in finance it’s certainly true in the NBA when you get a lot of money and you you sort of um there’s a lot of jealousy out there and then you fail miserably and publicly a lot of people take pleasure in it and

That has that has been the the reaction to the folks that I’ve talked to now now it’s interesting Monty is a beloved figure and I’m talking to people who say I love him on personal level he’s great but and then they’ll start to be snarky AEM about the $80 million about the the

Long-term deal about the fact that folks the the thought and think he’s a a fine coach a good coach but not the kind of coach that should have commanded this kind of money I mean there eyebrows that went up and there was some bafflement there was certainly some jealousy when

He got the deal now that we’re 26 games into a 26 game consecutive losing streak no people around the NBA are not being particularly nice and they are um they’re enjoying it probably if they’re being they’re being honest and they’re talking privately a little too much

They’ve gone from two wins in a row to 26 losses in a row when do you think the Pistons might snap their streak because we’re talking about a situation where this might be the longest losing streak in North American professional sports the Chicago Cardinals lost 29 n straight

From 1942 to 1945 the longest losing streak in the NBA is 28 as you take a look at the Pistons next five games where is a win coming I mean if I’m if I’m a Pistons fan or I’m in that organization I I suppose I’m circling January 3rd and

Playing the here’s the I think the jazz is the best answer maybe it’s the Raptors the problem MIM is that in a normal sit if You’ lost 10 in a row or 12 in a row any of those games I could try to make a case you you’re going to

Have some Pride you’re going to figure it out but this is obviously a historically awful team and I think so they have the a few problems came one is they’re obviously awful two is they are clearly broken emotionally spiritually confidence-wise just watching this game you could sense even was sort of close

They knew they were going to lose and the third thing AEM is you you do not want to lose to the Detroit Pistons you you don’t want to be the team that loses to these guys right at seven games in a row or nine games in a row and no one’s

Paying attention maybe you let your guard down a little bit it’s Detroit who really cares it’s December we’re exhausted it’s the third game in seven nights it’s Christmas whatever not anymore so it’s not going to be easy teams aren’t going to want to lose to these guys these guys don’t think they

Can beat anybody so maybe that maybe that jazz game if you look at the next three four five six games is the is the best case scenario but but I wouldn’t bet on on on Detroit in any of those games yeah I mean they just lost to the

Jazz on Thursday and they were without a bunch of their players they lost by nobody so I don’t like like like I just like this is a franchise this is a franchise that won an NBA title and now they’re going through this embarrassing streak and I

Get it franchises do this but this is bad I mean this is this is 8 day old avocado bad like this is this is 676 on pce for the worst record in NBA history oh Merry Christmas happy holidays to you Bill but not so much for the uh the Detroit Pistons happy

Holidays to everyone even those poor folks in Detroit thank you again well they have the Lions at least they had the Lions but in the past years it’s like well the Pistons are better than the Lions and it’s like you know you got to trade one for the

Other I guess the Pistons are 2 and 27 on Pace for the worst season in NBA history on Pace for 6 and 76 they’ve lost 26 straight games matching the single season NBA record for consecutive losses now too shy of tying the alltime NBA record coming up for Spee foreign foreign Speee Spee spee speech forign speech foree foree fore speech foreign speech fore Fore fore spee Foree Foree spee
