UNDISPUTED | Skip Bayless SHOCKED Pistons sets NBA record 27-game losing streak after loss to Nets

W the Detroit Pistons set the all-time NBA single season record for consecutive losses last night losing their 27th straight game this one at home to Brooklyn by six despite 41 points from Kade Cunningham the two and 28 Pistons are on Pace to finish with the worst

Record ever which would be six and 76 jeez Cunningham of course was the number one overall pick and is in his third NBA season Pistons coach Monty Williams coached Phoenix to the NBA finals in 2021 W coach of the year in the NBA in 2022 after guiding those Sons to a 64

And 18 record so Kean how surprised are you that a team with a former number one overall pick and a former finals coach and coach of the year is this bad I me I I don’t know what they’re doing cuz it’s not it’s not got like football where if

You lose you get the number one spot yeah you got to go into the lottery and all so it’s not like if if that wasn’t the case I’ll sit there and oh they just tanking yeah but they got cab they got banovic they got Marvin Bagley I mean

They got some players so I don’t know what’s like to make of this especially Monty Williams big payday when he got let go uh in Phoenix and then all of a sudden he was the hottest thing on the market Detroit school him up quick fast

In a hurry and now you’re looking at a team that’s 2 and 28 I don’t even know I don’t even know what that looks like though I mean it’s like you can’t win five games right now I mean like come on I just it’s just not going in the right

Direction cuz Monty Williams is a really good basketball just is or at least he was a really good basketball coach he is in you know in his stops in in New Orleans as well as Phoenix and now in Detroit and he like you mentioned he led

Them to the finals and it’s just I don’t know I don’t know what the make of is Skip and it they’re out there playing they’re trying but they can’t win and it’s in basketball if this was football uh you know and there’s only 17 games and they’ve only won two you sit there

You go they’re not good right now yeah but they played 30 games and they only got two explain that help me help him Richard yeah I I wish I could help I I don’t understand it I I just feel bad for the city of Detroit for the the the

State of Michigan thank goodness for football right now for because the Detroit Lions are playing well the M University of Michigan football team is playing well because they have just had some really tough Sports stories I mean you talk about the Lions team that went on6 now you’re talking about a record in

Basketball for most consecutive losses in a season I I don’t I don’t understand it I because a coach I I really don’t think he’s the problem um I mean some of this stuff is just lack of execution sloppy basketball lack of effort uh the fundamental of things that take no

Talent effort and attitude but I really can’t put my finger on what is necessarily the problem there because it’s they’re not getting blown out in every game no but they’re not winning either and so I in the history of basketball I don’t think this will be a

Big deal you know I think after this season they’ll draft somebody we’ll move on you know nobody remember who was on this team or who coached it but I mean it’s just I feel bad you know feel bad for the players the coaches the organization and especially the fans

They started off two in one skip So to that point I watched their opener at Miami because I couldn’t take my eyes off it because they storm back they they were down 19 with nine minutes left in that game at Miami and thanks to Kade and Company they stormed back and Kade

Had a 30-footer at the buzzer that could have won it and it was close and it kept you on the edge of your seat you thought okay that looked pretty good to me they go to Charlotte for their next game and they win handily there was

Lamel they were at full strength at that point and then they go home and they beat Chicago handily 18 18 to 102 and I thought okay they’re two- one and they they came close to being 3-0 and then this started and now we’re back to Monty Williams he

Is a really good basketball coach and trust me on this he’s an even better human CU he’s about as good as they get when it comes to Hearts Souls men absolutely and trust me he’s been through worse than this because he lost his wife in a car crash in Oklahoma City

And it was just horrible 25ths in Southwestern and I I still bleed for that that whole moment that he went through it was just so so rough on him and his family and the point is he’ll be okay will this stain his reputation if

They go six and 76 well it’ll go down on his resume it it won’t look great on his resume but now let’s get to Kate Cunningham okay this is what I love and don’t love about basketball it can be a one-man sport because if you do have

LeBron James Early in Cleveland you can take a bunch of guys and put around him and Leon LeBron is just so great he he was such a good young leader and scorer that that he can transcend he can lift that team up and they obviously got all

The way to an NBA finals ran into my Spurs who were just they just too many Hall of Famers and they got swept but they got all the way to the finals so my point is I did not love Kade Cunningham coming out of Oklahoma State and i’ sat

Right here in this chair and said I would take Jaylen green over him Jaylen Green’s just a better score but kade’s a much better allaround facilitator passer rebounder he’s got the whole the the the whole gamut of of capability but he’s not Transcendent some guys just are they

Just have that leadership gene or that takeover gene or whatever that is Cade with all those pieces you talked about is not able to lift them up even though he G he gave you 41 he gave you 37 in the second half last night and yet they

Got out scored down the stretch 26- 15 some guys have that it factor I don’t think Kade does and it’s it’s not a huge I’m I’m not condemning him it’s just it you’re asking him to to take too much more than he is capable of doing and so night after night they got

A tough stretch they’re they’re going to Boston now for their next game good luck with that but they got a rough stretch of games I I don’t think he’s Transcendent enough to liftt this team up to break this streak anytime soon so it it comes down to look what look what

J’s doing right now in Memphis Memphis got a lot of nice pie you can argue they have much better team than Detroit does but they were languishing right they were let’s see they they W four so so they were they’re 10 and 19 now so they

Were six and 19 when jaw came back six and 19 well that’s not a whole lot better than than 2 and 28 right and what has JW done since he stepped on the floor what’s happened they have gone to New Orleans twice now and won games it

Took overtime last night 4 and0 yeah 4 and0 it’s John Morant he’s Transcendent there’s something about the Charisma Factor the the impact the there’s something different when we compare John Morant to what Kade Cunningham is not able to do but that’s that’s what a lot of you know when we’re going to dive

Into the Lamar Jackson effect but that that certain that that’s what it is certain players have that that is correct and J has it when he walks into the building the building stops when he enters into the restaurant everybody looks I mean certain people Michael Jordan there’s just certain people that

Just have that and when guys go high in drafts it’s not always about yeah just their skill set it’s about the whole package that’s being delivered and I think a lot of people sometimes they forget that now you mentioned K cting ham out of Oklahoma State you didn’t

Necessarily like some of the things that was missing where Jaylen green had some of that I mean that’s just that happens all the time in sports I mean it just it just does yeah it just does and and all this gets magnified by the point Richard made because in Detroit the lions are

Suddenly they’re back they just won the division and listen fighting for home field advantage throughout and just up the the road n Arbor Jim Harbaugh’s team is the number one seed in the college football playoff I think they’re really good I think they got a great shot of

Winning it all a lot of people like Alabama over Michigan but the point is Alabama do you okay I like Michigan nick man but the point is it’s it’s happening in football in the Detroit area right now and it ain’t happening in basketball and I was there

At all those finals with all those bad boy Pistons teams and it was you you want to talk about a great basketball City all the the Rodman teams well even even even the team that beat us I mean with with uh Ben Wallace and Company they had some a nice run there ripping

Wallace rip johy ah oh wow and now it’s come to this long time ago though it was a long time ago but this is just hard to watch and to your point it’s just hard to believe okay up next why the itest should tell you Lamar Jackson is the

NFL’s best player the Richard well not call somebody on this show but I ain’t going you know just going let him keep talking yeah

  1. The celebration when they finally win is going to be wild. It could top Pat Bev's celebration when the Wolves won the play in game.

  2. They have the coach they and they have the young talent if they were 10-18 we could atleast say their getting better but 2-28 is inexcusable

  3. Thank goodness my Spurs broke their losing streak as we would be breaking the record right behind them. But unfortunately we are starting ANOTHER losing streak.

  4. Ja Morant is a great player he can be one of the top 15 players of all time but I promise you this he will never be the face of the NBA and I’m willing to bet anything on that

  5. I miss when the pistons had joe dumars drafting players but drafting darko was a bad choice and larry brown coaching the team. Larry brown won't take no bull shit from any of the players because he cares about coaching and winning. It's up to the players that buy into the what the coach is trying to do to implement a winning formula to help the team to be successful. Most players nowadays have too much have an ego that are not willing enough to make sacrifices to help achieve the team win with a total team effort. The 2004 detroit pistons and the 2023 denver nuggets are examples of players wanting to play for each other and willing to make sacrifices such as individual sacrifices to do whatever it takes to win and be as successful as possible. There are hardly any current coaches that can handle each players egos like phil jackson and larry brown, the only coach left is greg popovich. The players need to be held accountable and if they don't, they will most likely keep on making the same mistakes over and over again and will hardly make a difference even when they are being traded to a championship calibur team since the ego gets the best of the player when the player thinks they are the reason why they end up winning when in fact they are holding the team back in order to win a championship and being as successful as possible. In the modern nba, players with egos is not a guaranteed championship unless they have a coach that can help maintain the players ego when things turn for the worse and the coach is on the same page as the players and the team. I wish the pistons got bill laimbeer because of his coaching experience and john salley because of his basketball knowledge and he got to play with former players in the nba that are in the hall of fame like michael jordan and isiah thomas. Monty williams does not seem to be on the same page as the players and it's not getting thru the players on the team and it's affecting the teams chemistry to become better than they currently are. Some how, dwayne casey was able to coach the team and they were not this terrible. There were mediocre but at least the players were coachable.

  6. Bring back Liangelo GELO Ball, at least you will bring in some fans 😂 and you already have nothing to literally loose
