It’s hard to have sympathy for the Detroit Pistons. #pistons #nba #basketball

  1. Draft lotteries have always been flawed! I hated that baseball added it, guardians shouldn’t have the #1 pick either

  2. 100% done for the time being, Mike. Muted the word "Pistons" on twitter, and not paying attention anymore. I've been screaming to the high heavens to boycott this team, if no one else will listen, I'll listen to myself. Pathetic franchise.

  3. the proof of nba rigging came out in the Daughnehey affair — the lottery being rigged is another thing and probably not real

  4. A 14 percent chance to win to number-one pick is not very high.
    Better than a 3 percent chance, but it’s still a pretty long shot.
    The change to this system came about to keep teams from tanking to gain the number one pick.

  5. HOU got it because of BKN deal, it wasn’t their original pick. When Detroit has Darko at #2 it was then having Memphis pick.

  6. The NBA draft incentivize teams who try, you don't have to take to win the lottery you could be a run of the mill team and still have a chance to win the lottery this is intentional. But none of you want to sign any free agents so this is what I get

  7. Nobody in their right mind can claim the lottery isn't rigged. It's not "flawed," it's flat-out rigged! Isn't it convenient that the year after LeBron left Cleveland for Miami Cleveland conveniently gets a lottery pick 3 straight years, and 2 lottery picks in the same year! Yet the Pistons can't get a lottery pick in 3 years when they're the worst team in basketball! That is precisely why I stopped watching basketball once the Pistons started sucking and the lottery obviously being rigged!

  8. It’s (the Pistons future) not hopeless Mike. We’ve got one of the youngest team in the league. Building a franchise is trying to win while also being patient with player development. We haven’t seen peak Cade, Duren, or Ausar yet.

  9. It’s broken because the odds don’t make much sense. How does the worst team in the league have only a 14% chance against the number one pick

  10. Okay last comment lol. Abdul should’ve brought up the draymond green suspension that happened in the afternoon the day after game 4. And it was a technical foul UPGRADED to a flagrant foul the day after the game…

  11. NBA ratings are NOT on the rise…Stony said that without knowledge or facts…Love the NBA, but just saying the facts here.

  12. Pistons were, I believe, 18th in the NBA in attendance. For whatever reason, the Pistons still have fans.

  13. No team had EVER dropped from 1 to 5 in the history of the NBA Draft Lottery…
    It’s now happened to the Detroit Pistons TWO years in a row.
    It's not the fact they didn't finish with the #1 pick, it's the fact they didn't get picks #2-#4 in back to back years that screams the system in broken. (And Mike is right, play-in teams have no business in the lottery)

  14. I’m done with the pistons. I like NBA, can’t stand to see anything pistons related. Dumpster fire of a franchise, at least I was still entertained by the lions even at their worst, pistons are just depressing.
