We have suited 31 different NBA players this season. That is the NBA record.

So I just learned watching the Magic/Bucks game that the Pistons have the fewest challenges in the league this year at 59. The most is Dallas with 103 i think. So none of us were crazy thinking Monty never challenges. 59 in 82 games.

Highest paid coach. Doesn't care about his players at all.

Man Monty is a terrible coach.

Cade's 2nd year (17 wins) and 3rd year (14 wins) combine for about 18.9% win total... pretty disgusting turn for this franchise after the hype of landing the #1 pick and the strong finish we had down the stretch of his rookie season.

We've shot a league worst 32% from three the past two years. Unless Weaver is fired soon I'm not sure there is much hope for this offseason or the future.

On the flip side you have teams like Orlando landing an all-star #1 guy in Banchero sitting in the 5 spot right now. You've got Indy who quickly flipped the script and is a playoff team today. You've even got Charlotte with Brandon Miller looking like a sure fire future all-star. OKC one of the best in the entire league. The Rockets took a big step forward and are at least a respectable 11th seed looking like they should push into play-in territory next season.

OKC + DET + HOU + IND + ORL were the bottom 5 teams two seasons ago during Cade's rookie year and we are still dead last.

20 + 20 + 23 + 17 + 14 its crazy if someone still has a job after five years into the rebuild being one of the worst teams of all-time.

Clearly it's Metu's fault that Wiseman can't make a point blank dunk.

Troys strategy of GMing was the Hinkiee strategy. It used to be worst record had 25% 2nd 20% 3rd 15.6%. Also the worst record would pick no lower then 4th. So pre 2019 Troys strategy or should I say the Hinkiee was very very effective but not anymore.

The worst record only gives you a 14% chance so about 1 in 7 chance at the Wembys. If their is two guys you're looking at 1 in 3.5 chance. Its literally a coin flip 48% to drop out of the top 3. Some fans think we've been incredibly unlucky in the draft but we hit a pick one 1 in 7 and then lost a couple flips to go to 5.

Also in some drafts like the Paolo draft many people had Jabari one myself included its possible we would of won and still missed Chet and Paolo. If we got real lucky in the Killian draft Troy was going Wiseman over Edwards and Melo. You really cant rely on pure lotto luck anymore its been nerfed.

Rather then sit back and pray for a lotto ticket to hit we should of been focusing on building the proper roster around our best player. Build a winning culture. Troy said the goal this season was to be competitive 82 games. So we go out and our only additions are Joe Harris and Monte Morris. Troy is a failure he should be fired now.

Kinda crazy in the last 2 seasons COMBINED, Cade has suited up for a whopping 12 wins.

Thank goodness the season is almost done. That's the only positive thing I have to say about the Pistons. And the box score? I don't really think any of these players will matter next year save ivey or Sasser - probably one of them will be gone this offseason.

Edwards said if we do make a big trade Ivey is the most likely to go. Hes been stinking up the joint though just killing his trade value. Its incredible how close his numbers are to last season. He has elite athleticism though we only need one GM to fall in love and hope change of scenery levels up his game.

Troy has a lot of work to do this offseason. Trade our pick for proven talent, upgrade our bench and sign a 4. Hopefully our starters improve they're game this offseason. Looking to make the play-in next season!
