NOBODY wants to be the team that loses to the Pistons! – Austin Rivers | SportsCenter

All right to the EST Association we go because we got the worst team in the NBA the two and8 two and 28 Pistons uh taking on the best team in the NBA with the lot of the Nets on Tuesday Detroit became the first NBA team to lose 27

Consecutive games in a single season if they lose this one tonight Detroit would match the record for alltime consecutive losses at 28 one thing that could help the Pistons a little is the fact that the Celtics will be without their second leading scorer Jaylen Brown who will

Miss tonight’s game with a lower back contusion all right we got NBA Austin Rivers joining us now Austin the Celtics obviously a championship caliber team how do you avoid not playing to the level of a team like the Pistons listen you know this this is so funny to me just because well I

Shouldn’t say funny but it’s interesting nonetheless because we’ve all seen in the past when a team’s on a huge winning streak everybody wants to be the team to like break it now we’re seeing it on the reverse where we have a team that’s historic for losing so many games in a

Row and now they’re going into Boston play the best team in basketball not only Boston but every team that Detroit is going to play from here on out nobody nobody wants to be the team that loses to the Detroit Pistons so now every game that Detroit plays from here on out it

Is going to be tough it is going to be difficult and they’re going to have to find a way to claw out I know J both uh Jason and Jaylen are questionable tonight that would help but at you know listen we all thought the same thing

With Utah what was that like a week ago or so when half of their team was out and that’s not even a playoff team and they still weren’t able to win that game so at this point I think we all need to be cheering on Detroit we all want this

Slump to end Monty is a good coach they are a young team I feel for Kate Cunningham he’s a talented player but it’s going to be hard for them to go into Boston and get this one tonight I’m not going to hold you I do want to

Mention by the way that Jaylen Brown is actually out tonight in the matchup also should be noted that the seas are a perfect 14-0 at home this season so it’s going to be rough and like you mentioned nobody wants to take that L to the Pistons okay let’s go out west johnar

And The Grizzlies have won four straight with him on the court they fac the Nuggets tonight uh you said yesterday that this Memphis team is dangerous with JW back in the lineup but they do have to dig themselves out of a bit of a hole they have the defending champs the

Two-time MVP is this a good measuring stick for them it is it has to be I mean listen we haven’t seen Memphis as a whole this whole entire season we’ve actually seen the opposite this team has not been themselves they’ve tried to figure out ways to muster wins together

But without their guy they’ve only just been below average but with jawc they’re 4 and0 they got a closure they got their guy he brings more than just basketball to them he brings he brings energy jaw is an affectious personality his teammates love him there’s a reason why

They cheer him on so much there’s a reason why in his first game back Desmond Bane tells him no you go get the ball and he goes and gets that gamewinner so just you know this team fully healthy we saw a couple years in the past be a premier team in the

Western Conference now with jawb back this is a good game to see they’re going against the defending champs the Denver Nuggets it’ll be a good game tonight this is the game that I’m personally going to be watching so uh we’ll see what happens yeah it’ll certainly be a

Very fun one to watch the Grizzlies are current in 13th Place in the west at 109 Austin thank you thank [Applause] you

Austin Rivers joins SportsCenter to preview the Boston Celtics’ matchup with the Detroit Pistons, who are on a 27-game losing streak, and discuss the Memphis Grizzlies’ matchup with the Denver Nuggets.
