“These fans show up more than you think to support this team — believe it or not, 2-26 (now 27) Detroit, which hasn’t won a game in 54 days, ranks 15th in total attendance in the NBA. They show up proudly, with smiles and optimism. Jerseys. Hoodies. Hats. Whatever they can get their hands on that flashes the Pistons logo, they wear it. When, at this point, they should be showing up with brown paper bags over their heads — like in 2008 when the Lions went 0-16. This is that bad because it doesn’t feel like it’s getting better anytime soon.”

soon the pistons wins will be in the negatives
They should sign austine rivers
People come in hoppes of seeing their team win. If and when they do its gonna be a happy day worth celebrating.
In before “ X team has worse attendance than the Pistons”
Pistons are 28th in % at 87.3%. Hornets and Wizards are worse.
The following teams have sold out every game so far this season
1. Mavs
2. Kings
3. Bucks
4. Nuggets
5. 76ers
6. Heat
7. Hawks
8. Magic
9. Celtics
10. Cavs
11. Warriors
12. Suns
13. Timberwolves
14. Jazz
The pistons are like a train crash. Hate to see it but you cant look away
One factor is the cheap tickets probably. “Oh we got nothing to do. Might as well watch LeBron pound the Pistons for 5 bucks court side or something.”
But tbf, the Pistons do have a good bb legacy.
After the 76ers worst record ever, Embiid came back they drafted Ben Simmons and the process officially started. They have now been contenders in the east for 5+ years. Don’t hang your head Pistons fans, this season has no indication on what the future holds!
Sounds fake. I’ve watched some Pistons home games and their arena seemed empty as can be.
should start offering some of this “sell the team” merch.
okc just paid for a whole new stadium when they are behind the pistons in attendance 😂😂😂😂
This is because they have the 4th largest arena by seating capacity. They have the 3rd worst attendance rate (87.3%).
This is the Wizards 4th straight year as the last place team in %. Even in 2017 when they had their best season in the last 40 years, they were only 27th.
They are 3rd worst in the league by percent of available tickets sold.
The sold tickets thing doesn’t matter. Teams mass dump to groups for like $10 the day before the game to claim it was “sold out”.
You’re buying a ticket to history making games if this keeps up. After seeing the “sell the team” chant I would almost want to be there for it if I were a Pistons fan.
That’s dope honestly. They deserve a better product
This should be normalized this by seating capacity.
Cheap tickets + being in Detroit= 🤑
Omg Raptors should be higher, lots of people buying those $150 + tickets ..
They have to pack the house for the SELL THE TEAM chants
Considering the Pistons are on pace to be historically one of the worst teams in NBA history, I’d pay to watch this trainwreck live
Move to Seattle 🤩🤩🤩
This is the perk of the Pistons playing in the Detroit city proper, not in the faraway Auburn Hills suburb – at least loyal Pistons fans in Detroit can watch it for very cheap ticket prices.
the spurs swing from 24 to 6 is, yeaaaahhh….
I mean ppl watch car accidents all the time so yeah
