detroit making spurs fans feel like the tallest midget
From bad boy pistons to worst boy pistons
this in the first year of the monty williams experience
All for the 5th pick
Salute to you pistons fans for toughing it out this season, I can relate. But just know, the spurs, right now, are tied for our worst losing season (1996-1997). We only need one more win to not be tied with that season. We play you guys for our final game and we will show no mercy to make sure we have only the second worst spurs season of all time and not tied for the first. This will be our finals game 7 and the battle of mid shall be legendary.
I don’t remember the last good Pistons team after their chip
Next year: 18-64
😂
Monty Williams breaking records as we all expected
Does it get better next year or what
Can’t wait for that Troy Weaver promotion to hit
There was a time when I referred to the mid-90s as the dark era of Pistons basketball. I remember the days of leaning on guys like David Wood, Cadillac Anderson, Mark Macon, Rafael Addison, and Bill Curley and I figured that’d be as bad as it got in my lifetime.
Alas, by comparison, those teams were powerhouses, winning 20 games in ’94 and 28 in ’95.
In my 40 years, this is the single darkest era of Pistons basketball I’ve ever seen and it’s not even close. I lost track of the number of times I watched a game this year and felt like I was watching a JV team playing against varsity. Just… awful in every single way.
this is what happens when you are arguably the worst team in the league and get the 5th pick.
Im not sure the answer but the current lottery and odds aint it. bad teams need a lot of help
Well, atleast the season gave Monty Williams the worst losing streak in the NBA
Gave Cokehead Owner another below .500 Season
Gave Troy Weaver a Record of 73-243 as GM
If these 4 Season of them tainted their reputation around the league, i’m happy
93 wins in 5 years
How the mighty have fallen. I hope the Cade era works out for Detroit, because I don’t know what I would do if it doesn’t.
I truly believe in another era where the players aren’t all buddies who play video games at night with each other, this team easily takes home the “worst team ever” title with the record to boot
Ran through the tape ✅
I lost my bet that the Lions would have more wins than the Pistons.
So, that’s $6 million for each win for Monty.
How did Monty Williams take the Suns to the finals and win coach of the year, then end up like this?
Higher average attendance than the Warriors this year
One thing I hadn’t realized: I knew that the Boston Celtics had legendarily fleeced the Golden State Warriors in the 1980 draft, sending them the first overall pick (Joe Barry Carroll) for the third overall pick (Kevin McHale) and Robert Parish. But why did the Celtics have the first overall pick to begin with? I thought, well, duh, because they were terrible that year. But I was off by a year. In 1980 they had the best record in the league. It was in *1979* that they were terrible. In 1978 they were also terrible, and had drafted Larry Bird, but he stayed in college for another year. I didn’t remember the Celtics drafting high in 1979, and they didn’t, because they’d traded their pick (#3, Bill Cartwright) to the Knicks for Bob McAdoo. The Celtics then traded McAdoo to the Pistons for a couple of picks, but that wasn’t really their idea: they’d signed M.L. Carr from Detroit as a free agent, but back then, there was no unrestricted free agency and the Celtics were forced to work out some sort of compensation package. That package included the Pistons’ 1980 pick, which became #1, which the Celtics turned into McHale and Parish. So no juggernaut 1980s Celtics if the 1980 Pistons aren’t so terrible!
At this point just don’t be that team
Well congrats 🎉🎉🎉
The worst team in Franchise history SO FAR
