Why The Pistons Losing Streak Will Never End

Why The Pistons Losing Streak Will Never End

The Detroit Pistons are on the verge of making history in the worst way possible currently the longest losing streak in NBA history yeah that’s about 26 games that is being held by the 20134 Philadelphia 76ers now that 76ers team was known for purposely losing games that team was built to fail which

Is why they called it the process because eventually through all of those losing Seasons they would be able to draft Superstars at least that was the belief however this Pistons team did not set out on the season to only have two wins by Christmas time and yet that’s

Exactly what it’s looking like not only are the Pistons going to have the longest losing streak in NBA history but they’ll probably have the least amount of wins ever recorded by a team in an 82 Game season they’re currently 2 and 25 it’s not looking better and their

Competition isn’t really really going to get any easier with the way the schedule’s looking it might be another one or two weeks before this Pistons team has the opportunity to win a game now there are a multitude of reasons for why and how the Detroit Pistons became

Such a bad team but the most obvious one would have to be the organization’s failure to build a competent team through the draft something they have been struggling to do for the past 15 years and when you’re a team based in the city of Detroit it is nearly

Impossible for you to get any free agent signings let alone Superstar ones so when you’re unable to build through the draft you’re almost never going to have a good team something Detroit has become very aware of over the past decade now to keep a long story short we’re going

To start this in 2019 where the Detroit Pistons decide to select seku deoya with their 15th pick in the first round seku was more of a project player he wasn’t expected to be good right away and yet the Pistons didn’t have the patience for him to develop because only 2 years

Later he would be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers the issue for why seu didn’t work out in Detroit was that he needed more time with his coaches more individual work more so he needed to be on the court competing with NBA caliber players unfortunately the Pistons did

Not offer him the opportunity to do so so he never had the chance to develop into what he could have picked and the very next year with the seventh overall pick it does not get better for Detroit because there they select French point guard Killian Hayes every Detroit fan

Knows Killian Hayes by now he is currently the team’s point guard and one of the big reasons that they have only two wins by December absolutely terrible and the worst part about all of it is is that the Pistons selected Killian Hayes over a guy like Tyrese halber and talk

About not aging one however luckily for the Pistons even a broken clock is right twice the day and in their case it was the 2021 NBA draft where they were gifted the first overall pick probably by Adam Silver and they decided to take Kade Cunningham Kade Cunningham has

Played very well for the team I know he suffered a major injury in his sophomore season season but right before this season began I made a video talking about how I believe he was going to take a leap into stardom and while he has been playing very well the rest of the

Team hasn’t now 2022 and 2023 would also be good drafting years as of now for the Pistons they were able to select Jayden ivy with a top five pick as well as assar Thompson the very next year and in 2022 they got Jaylen Duran with the 13th

Overall pick so over the past few years it seems like the Pistons have been making the right decision but we honestly don’t know yet because a lot of these guys are still super young and it probably doesn’t help that most of the guys I just named that might be good for

The Pistons are currently having major roles on a team that is one of the worst that the NBA has ever seen the reason they’re so bad is probably because they rank towards the bottom in every statistical category including offensive rating where they’re currently in the bottom three in 28th yeah I don’t know

How any other team is worse in the Pistons right now but apparently the numbers say that there are at least two other teams that are just as bad or Worse the reason the Pistons have been struggling offensively is that they’ve been bogged down by bad shooting and a staggering amount of turnovers Detroit

Ranks 23rd in field goal percentage 27th in true shooting percentage and dead last in three-point shooting talk about not being able to hit it from Deep they would love a guy like Klay Thompson or Steph Curry but that’s not happening they’re not getting a superstar like that okay they’re stuck with guys like

Jayen Ivy Marcus Sasser and assar Thompson guys who definitely have no idea how to put the ball in the net I haven’t even gotten to turnovers where Detroit is 29th in the league averaging 16.5 giveaways a game just ahead of the Jazz Kate Cunningham averages four turnovers per game he may be the

Superstar of this team but you can watch clip after clip of Cunningham fumbling the ball away as he tries to walk up the court it is embarrassing now the five other Pistons Ivy assar Killian Marvin baggley and Isaiah Stewart are averaging at least one turnover a game it might

Not be as bad but when you add that all up that is nine turnovers guaranteed from just five six guys alone miserable numbers and the defense has continued to slide as it looked to be a potential building block for this team it looked like maybe the defense was something

That the Pistons could base their personality on but that’s not going to work because it’s also been awful they rank number five in the worst defensive rating in the league yeah nothing has been pretty for this Detroit Pistons team and when you think about it it

Makes sense I mean they only have two wins on the season first year head coach Monty Williams really wanted to prioritize improving on the defensive side of the ball unfortunately for him the Pistons have not looked good at that all season they are giving up an average of

120.4 points per game to the other team their defensive rating since at about 118.7 not great nothing’s looking pretty hell teams are shooting about 48% from the field against them and 37.4% % from the three-point line it looks like the Pistons cannot stop anybody from scoring

It doesn’t matter who it is you put Giannis out there you put LeBron out there you put a bum out there like I don’t know Bruce Brown they’re not going to get stopped from scoring hell even Jordan P could put up good numbers against the Detroit Pistons team of

Course has he no but whatever that’s a video for another day all I’m saying is that the Pistons are not good on offense they’re not good on defense they turn the ball over like crazy and they don’t force turnovers which also goes on to hurt this team I haven’t even gotten to

The poor roster construction going on by Troy Weaver he looked at a 17- win team from last season and decided that adding veterans like Joe Harris and Monty Morris was going to change everything and it hasn’t by the way I know they’ve got Kate Cunningham back but that hasn’t

Really improved this team taking them to a new level they are still a bottom feeder in the NBA and that is not going to change anytime soon obviously everyone in the front office is fired maybe Monte Williams Monte Williams is kept around for a few more seasons because he just signed a massive

Contract he might be the only man who stays hell I don’t know where this team goes from here but they can’t go anywhere but up right they’re two and 25 they cannot get worse all right catch you all later much love deces
