UNDISPUTED | Pistons lose vs. Nets, set NBA record with 27th straight loss despite Cade’s 41 Pts

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 won 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 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 oh they just tanking yeah but they got C they got banovic they got Marvin Bagley I mean I 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 scho 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 or at least he was a really good basketball coach he is in you know and 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 just I don’t know I don’t know what the make of it Skip and it they’re out there playing they’re trying but they can’t win in 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 on 16 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 SK So to that point I watched their opener at Miami because I couldn’t take my eyes off it because they stormed 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 Kate

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 6 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 Kade Cunningham okay this is what I love and don’t love about basketball it can be a oneman sport because if you do have

LeBron James Early in Cleveland you can take a bunch of guys and put around him and le 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 jayen 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 to much 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 lift 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 JW came back 6 and 19 well that’s not a whole lot better than than 2 and 28 right and what has jaw 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 40 yeah 4 and0 it’s John marant he’s Transcendent there’s something about the Charisma Factor the the impact there’s something different when we compare johnar to what Kade Cunningham is not able to do 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 team is the number one seed in the college football playoffs I 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 St 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 and the even the team that beat us I mean with with uh Ben Wallace and Company they had some a nice little run

There Wallace rip joh 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 it test should tell you Lamar Jackson is the

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