I wasn't familiar with your game, Pistons. I'm a 2-80 believer now


Biglundtry

If that happens just let the best euro team in the league and put pistons out to pasture


__spartacus

Pistons better learn chinese buddy


Brief-Web-676

Bo7 vs. Shanghai Sharks. Winner becomes an NBA team. Who you got?


Solutide

5000 bucks on the Pistons


_Caek_

Damn a dollar for every loss between now and then


drokihazan

My 401k on the Pistons to beat the Shanghai Sharks in a best of 7 series.


Dijohn17

At this point better learn Filipino


iamnotkryp9

Who will guard Kai Sotto tho?


Zoesan

idk they might get cooked there, do the Maldives have a league?


Brief-Web-676

The G League Ignite will replace them.


Bound_Two

If the NBA had relegation I would immediately start watching


Puzzleheaded_Fox4684

would low key be so fun, but owners obviously would never go for it


jaredswole

It would fix tanking but also #1 picks might end up in the gleague so you’d need to restructure the draft too


audricnathan

top 3 picks goes to the team that just got promoted


DragoniteGang

That is some cheese though. What if a good team decides to tank their season and purposely relegated if there's a generational talent in two years and then destroy the Gleague just in time for them to get promoted.


aurelialikegold

Getting relegated has devastating financial consequences for teams and you can get stuck for years in the lower tier. Top players would also negotiate contract release clauses should the team be relegated, so they won’t stay good for very long.


studyinggerman

If we had a 8 team, 4 east and 4 west tier 2 league expansion right now, and have 1 team from each go up and one team from each conference relegated then the top 2 picks could go to teams now going up to the 30 team NBA proper. If you think about a lot of the recent drafts, it's usually 1 or 2 players that are absolutely we want to see them in the NBA.


DrunkDeathClaw

I legit think Real Madrid could beat the Pistons at this point.


[deleted]

But can they do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?


BlondBadBoy69

Give them Kansas


AlexisOhanianPride

Pistons is actually playing 4-D chess. They know they're getting more viewers tuning in to see them potentially breaking the losing streak record compared to just being an average team.


branstarktreewizard

Adam Silver doing everything for the rating before the contract negotiation


HoyaDestroya33

Can't wait for "Can the Kentucky Wildcats beat the Pistons?" posts


MilkBarPatron

[Right at the beginning of this highlight video you can hear the Pistons commentators talking about how they'd still beat a college team.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYPwtGnq-qw) This has been already been a topic of conversation for weeks.


Uppun

I'll give this pistons team credit they have 2 wins more than any college team would get playing against nba teams


beatrailblazer

Pistons can go 2-80 and I'll still look at you like this shit gravy


alex_zz9

They last won on Oct 28th…before Halloween


commandrr

since october 28th they have the same amount of wins as the Arizona Diamondbacks, and 2 less wins than the Texas Rangers.


Mr_Fields

What the fuck 😂


rumblepony247

And in calendar year 2023, they have less win (9) than the Lions (12).


Parking_Net4440

The post game thread from that game is quite the read. I do it like once a month. Which isn’t much but it’s crazy that it’s been almost two months since they last won a game.


thricethefun

lmao reading that has me dead


AUserNeedsAName

A reminder to anyone about to make the trip: if you comment or vote while you're there, *you will jinx your team into losing to them*. Leave the poor Pistons fans alone.


realsomalipirate

Lol I commented on there yesterday. Fuck the raptors are breaking their losing streak now

Who will finish the season with more wins, the Lions or the Pistons?


ronaldo119

They started the season 2-1!

Here I was thinking Halloween was on the 27th


FlyingMocko

Lmao Pistons games went from the ones you rest your stars against to the ones you treat like a Finals game 7.


MTing1315

I'm dead ass when I say I want us to punt the Nuggets game on Friday so we can be ready for the Pistons on Saturday.


rediveyy

i am praying cam thomas, mikal bridges, and nic claxton are all ready to bring their best. i will be depressed if you guys ruin history at this point. the jazz loss was so bad today, it can’t be for nothing


Jkru3

Idk why I have this odd feeling that y’all will beat us


rediveyy

the jazz were without lauri, keyonte, and clarkson, we all thought today was the day. you guys CANT do worse than that, right?


Jkru3

I don’t even think we are a bad team. We were 4 or 5 games over .500 before this awful stretch but man we look pretty bad right now and we play y’all twice, once off a back to back. I honestly think it’s pretty close to a 50-50 chance you guys win one of these 2 games while we are in this funk. The whole team has been really off


rediveyy

that’s not what i need to hear 😭 let’s all just manifest cam thomas for 50 points back to back


Jkru3

We are like 1-6 in games cam scores 40+ 😭


rediveyy

how tf 😭


colosusx1

Cuz most of them he's using almost 40 possessions to get to 40 points.


Jkru3

Damn bro you want to lose that bad 😭. I don’t think it’s possible you win enough games to not have the highest draft odds possible for the #1 pick already… guess you just want to make history


rediveyy

i’ve seen every one of these losses man 😭 the depression started when we lost to the pelicans without zion, ingram, and murphy, and it got really bad when we lost to the wizards it can’t be all for nothing. if we get the record, we at least made history. if we lose now? we’re just a terrible team with nothing to show for it


guydudeguybro

Still on pace to beat the 11-12 bobcats for worst win% though, y’all can take that history. I just hope you don’t then get screwed out of the first overall pick (Anthony Davis) and instead get the second pick (MKG) Even more painful when in the next 4 picks Bradley Beal and Dame go


[deleted]

i appreciate you for being an optimist. history gets shit done


rediveyy

going from 2-1 to 2-26, you gotta get whatever happiness you can


Dudedude88

Let's hope jokic makes quick work out of y'all. Reality is those 2 piston games are important if you guys want to make it into the playoffs.


theonlyjuan123

You were losing against the nuggets no matter what


MTing1315

Exactly, so rest the starters.


Ifinishfast42

No one wants to be the team that loses first lol.


mF-Jonezy

I mean for real with every loss you have to think their opponents become more motivated to not fuck this up


trambilo

It’s targeting atp


newman796

So basically the Browns those 2 years and they’re waiting on their San Diego


SilvioDantesPeak

Yeah, if I was a coach I'd be telling my team to make them feel like they'll never win again. Which they probably already do.


dotelze

I wonder how the coaches are treating like this. Is it like a normal regular season game where the day before they’ll go over some basic stuff or is it like the playoffs where they’re actually going over film and properly planning etc. Tbf that’s probably unnecessary


LazyBuhdaBelly

"I wish the Pistons were *the* team to beat this year" *monkey paw curls*


branstarktreewizard

Jazz was the one with no pressure since they have a ready made excuse of 8 players missing. but now every team would be switching it on to avoid years of slander


iRockaflame

You don't want to be the team that lets them break the streak. Last year everyone made jokes about the Nuggets being the first team to let the Lakers get their first win of the season when they started 0-5. The team that lets them break the streak is going to eat so much shit lol.


theonlyjuan123

If a team wants a coach fired they know what game to lose.


Afraid-Department-35

Marks calendar for March 9. JKidd might be watching his last game on that day.


yoloqueuesf

that hell of a losing streak if y'all are going to end up losing to the pistons ending their streak


cSwish

Don't play us again til Feb 27th, thank god, idk if I could handle the stress of that game lol. We will see when that day comes.


SincereFan

Sell the team chants. I have honestly never seen it. This is historically bad. Somebody on the Magic discord said they might be the most sad team in all of pro sports and I can see it (at least in America from what I know). This is just bad bad. I could only laugh at how bad it looked. The Process Sixers were intentionally tanking the fact that the Pistons aren't even tanking and are this bad just is sad.


Colonelcool125

The Process was legitimately fun because there was a plan


Gerald_the_sealion

The process also brought out a bunch of solid players. Dario, RoCo, TJ, Grant, Embiid (of course) and many memorable moments. I was at Kobe’s final game in Philly where the Sixers are 0-18 and we got our first win of the year. Proceeded to go to like 1-29 or something stupid. But watching the young players get a chance to prove themselves was some of the most fun I’ve had as a fan. Tickets were cheap. I paid $12 for two tickets and probably the same in fees. Add in parking, the game was the cheapest part. Also the players did more meet and greets and events. We all knew the result going into the game, so it was just about watching guys try hard


TRES_fresh

That's sort of how it feels to watch the wizards this year. We finally have direction so I'll watch a loss cheering for kuzma as he scores 30, Poole as he makes his shaqtin a fool highlight reel, Bilal getting blocks, and kispert hitting his 3s. The pistons have tanked for enough young talent, they got a new coach and it felt like they were ready to get some wins, but somehow they could be the worst team in NBA history.


AngryUncleTony

Those teams played awful basketball and I couldn't stomach watching every game but they had a fun, chaotic energy and were rewarding to follow because of rooting for all those guys hustling to make a career that otherwise wouldn't have gotten a shot.


Colonelcool125

The game they almost beat the 73-9 Warriors >>>


Appropriate-Cap-4140

McConnell and Covington game-winners!


AUserNeedsAName

That's how I feel about the Spurs this year. We're absolute booty, but a little less booty every game and watching the experimentation has taught me a LOT more about the players we have than a mediocre season would have.


SincereFan

Honestly think they need to just trade their players at the lowest/fair value and reshuffle. They will get a high pick no matter what but for their local fans and to not cause alot of problems for their players, go big on changes. Ivvey out maybe (as he has some value), clearly keeping Cade is the plan but if he wants out, get some great value for him and just go big.


lildinger68

Go all in on Wiseman, got it


JoeTheHoe

Just put a bunch of shooters around Cade. Even if they can’t defend or do anything else, just give Cade spacing to run a normal nba offense and see what happens. It’s an idea, anyways. I’m not sure the young talent will amount to much.


ReasonableDisaster2

They could probably trade Ivey to the Raptors for OG, get an elite defender who can shoot alongside Cade, and they've got the cap space to max him in the off-season.


WikiHowWikiHow

why the fuck would the raptors trade OG for Ivey lol


waterneeded

Knicks fans were [chanting ](https://youtu.be/NirXxnvRbac?si=IOlNps8V9nC5Hocs) it back in the 19/20 season.


duckscanflytoo

Panthers give them a run for their money


guydudeguybro

Panthers have double the win% as the pistons.


duckscanflytoo

Fair, but Pistons could get rewarded with the No. 1 pick as a result of their terribleness. Panthers traded away the No. 1 pick.


realsomalipirate

The pistons could also go 2-80 and still get the 5th pick (which would be really, really funny).


AlienCrashSite

> Sell the team chants. I have honestly never seen it. You’re probably right but for some reason I choose to believe that’s just a weekly thing for Philly fans.


JNerdGaming

not from a franchise perspective. at least theyve been a really good team many times before and won three nba titles. theres some history behind the pistons name, which is more than you can say for some other teams. if youre talking about this team specifically, yeah, i can see it


BlondBadBoy69

Cleveland Browns still exist


Busquessi

This season? They’re 9-5 lol. The DeShaun contract is straight up clown shit so if you’re counting that, I’ll allow it.


Puzzleheaded-Cash491

He's talking about the 0-16 Browns team


Dijohn17

Right now they are in Elite mode


JimmyButlerOverdrive

And this is one of the NBA's historic franchises. Three titles, the Bad Boys, the unprecedented 2004 run, DEEETROIT BASKETBALL........this is so sad.


Shamsyil

Nets losing one for sure.

Odd_Total_5549

I hate so much that you have a Sixers flair but are completely right. This recent stretch of Nets games has me shook about these games.


HereForTOMT2

Do not fucking blow this


Ifinishfast42

It’s what they do


Subredditcensorship

We’ve sucked so yes I think it’s very possible


Working-Clue-5637

Never thought I’d be watching piston regular season games but here I am 😂


LiaM_CS

Honestly the most mind-boggling thing about this team is that they somehow won 2 games in a row and that actually resulted in them having a record above .500 for a time


CasimirPulaski

Damn near beat Miami to start 3-0 too


Diligent-Use-7268

I'm annoyed that they have a home and home with the Nets. playing the same team twice actually gives the pistons a chance.


legend023

They played a below average team missing 4 of their best 7 players and was 2-13 on the road and lost


jeremy9931

And that were on a back to back. Still lost


welmoe

This is just downright sad.


HoyaDestroya33

Nets on the pressure cooker now


_coed_

first game is the 2nd half of a b2b for the nets with the first game against Denver Nets are absolutely losing that game, no doubt in my mind


Street-Common-4023

Maybe nets should rest there guys tomorrow then again they’re at home


Odd_Total_5549

I really hope they do. Bridges’ consecutive game streak is awesome, but he’s already proven he’s an Ironman. Bro has looked completely gassed lately, he really needs a night off.


Mosh00Rider

Have him play 10 minutes and get fined


FlyingMocko

You underestimate the Pistons


SirJoeffer

Home and home against Philly and they demolished them. I could see Mikal going off for 40 both nights.


_dim1

I hope so. Mikal has been playing pretty bad lately.


_letitsnow

I mean they just lost to the Jazz with 8 missing players


FeedbackContent8322

This is legit historical ill end up telling my kids about this


superlazerX

how low can we go?


Cough_Syrup55

Unify the belts and get 29 losses in a row. The Process 6ers cheated and did it over 2 seasons


HoyaDestroya33

2-80 please

LoWE11053211

if the nets want win this comfortably they need to rest 2-3 starter make it a trap game for the pistons because now it is a trap game for the nets


Ok_Yesterday_9911

The funny thing is that the nature of the Pistons makes this the opposite of a trap game. Most trap games happen because you don’t know half the players and/or don’t prepare properly because you think the opposition will be easy. You also don’t expect the toughness of the opposing team, who often come out with a chip on their shoulder and play way harder than you might expect from the reserves. Most teams will be playing this like a Game 7 simply because they don’t want to be the ones losing. All of their recent opponents that can have come out HARD against them.


Subredditcensorship

Yeah it almost is making it harder to break because now nobody wants to be the team to lose it to them


Sp_Gamer_Live

this will be the finals for idiots


JimmyButlerOverdrive

gamblers, degens, and gambler degens


WateryPasta

If it’s any consolation to them, they are now the scariest team in the league


FragileCilantro

Whichever team this Piston team beats is never going to live or down, if the pistons ever win again that is


zoopi4

Funniest outcome would be if the celtics manage to lose by some miracle aafter the pistons break the record


papi617

I'm terrified, cause ts definitely the type of game we'd lose or Pritchard drops 30. No in between


JimmyButlerOverdrive

*William Laimbeer Jr. sends his regards*


AthKaElGal

whichever that team is will hold a players-only meeting, fire their coach, and have the team issue a PR statement on X.


valkerine

This pistons team might all have to be released at the end of the season I’m starting to believe they won’t even get double digit wins


junker359

Just pull your best guys and go for it. Own history. Gonna be weird rooting for the Nets for the second time this season

[удалено]


2ToTooTwoFish

Yeah, bench them and play who? Some of y'all just talk just to hate without thinking


MiyaharaAce

Nah, he makes sense, we need to bench Cade/Ivey/Bagley to play Burks/Livers/Wiseman. Burks shooting .331% from the field. Livers shooting .284% from the field. And Wiseman being James Wiseman He's clearly right, Cade/Ivey/Bagley are trash negative players, our bench would be so much better!


GeneralZhukov

Sure, they aren't looking great, but the rest of the squad are apex level net negatives. You don't lose 25 in a row because three of your starters are bad.


nghiaaaaa

Dudes really just dont watch games and be saying anything now


iMixMasTer

>Cade, Ivey Just admit you don't know basketball


Z7771997

Imagine being the team that breaks this losing streak, someone gone throw hands in the locker room afterwards lol


I-only-play-rubick

Don’t fuck this up Brooklyn! Play like there’s no tomorrows!


Disastrous_Bluejay57

Let's say hypothetically the Nets fumble this and the Pistons break the streak. Do you think Detroit's celebrations will be on par with Timberwolves play-in?


Gatorpep

They might riot.


StoicRetention

Phoenix_2412

When somebody said "Records are their to be broken" they were not implying this


baccunawa

Brooklyn nets must be feeling the pressure rn


Gatorpep

We are truly witnessing histroy, it’s vert exciting. I was so happy they lost tonight. This is the worst team i have ever seen in my 37 years. Bobcats had less talent, but this team is worse at the game. It truly feels electric watching these games.


ShowdownValue

Why does everyone keep asking 2-80? It’s -78 people. Not that hard


JimmyButlerOverdrive

dumb redditors think this is a math site


Big_Bad_AL17

Pistons couldn't beat a glorified G-League team and now have to match up with Cam Thomas? TWICE??

They might as well just go for the record at this point


dkdoki

Ppl bout to be fired


suplizzle_drizzle

They were 2-1


TheDraftGuy

Damn, what the heck, Pistons? At the beginning, they did look like a playoff team lol. Or at the least, something akin to what the Thunder or Magic were last year. Still think they can look great in 3-4 years but right now, it's like there are too many players with redundant roles.


Scratchlax

I think a Heat announcer said it years back: "in the first few games of the season, the bad teams don't know they're bad yet"


sylviaplath6667

They would 100% deserve the distinction. There are AAU teams with more cohesion than this group. Cade is a selfish ballhog and Monty might as well be a scarecrow with how passive he is


doodypoo

Bump 76ers Heat and move Pistons-Nets to Christmas. #HISTORY


sstteepphheenn

at this point the pistons should sign melo for his farewell tour


Crazy_Employ8617

Please embarrass Gores so badly until he sells the team.


RGPISGOOD

With a b2b, the Pistons might have a chance to win one. Nets have a chance to be clowned upon as the team that broke the streak.


Gerald_the_sealion

So looking at their schedule, they have only won against OKC. I don’t see that happening again. The next closest possibility of a win is 1/10 vs Spurs, if they lose, that’s 35 straight. After that is Wizards 1/15 with a potential 37th straight loss. Followed by 1/24 (Hornets) and 1/27 (Wizards) for potential 41st and 42nd straight losses by the end of January. We’re witnessing monumentally bad basketball. Time to replace them with Loyola of Chicago so the nun can see a championship


NinetyFish

Their wins were against Charlotte and Chicago IIRC


0zymand1as-

Bro ain’t no way lmaaaooo

Afraid-Department-35

They did do it lmao, didn't even get a top 3 pick. Maybe the Hornets are slowly transferring their curse over to them.
