Pis tons have collected players that are great athletes but unrefined players. Don't have glue guys willing to do the little things that win games. Like a all star AAU team.
It cracks me up every time another talking head says "they play really good basketball" or "they have a ton of talent." They don't. They're amongst the worst in the league in nearly every category. They have a ton of development projects. They don't really have a core at all; just prospects. If all their prospects reach their max potential then they could be good in a couple or few years, but not all their prospects are going to develop as good as the fans hope. They virtually never do.
Now 19 losses and Duren is out. It seems this current roster will NEVER find it's footing. The fact that any setback seems to ensure a loss tells us this roster build is fatally flawed. It's sad because I was eagerly waiting to see the off- season " improvements" bear fruit.
I think it's getting to the point where teams are really trying to beat them. Because it's embarrassing to lose to them. And no team wants to be the team that stop the streak.

Slow down with the excuses James. Tell the truth and stop feeding us watered down crap. Detroit deserves better.
