Gores, sell the damn team to someone who genuinely cares about basketball. Just disgusting.
In all honesty, we have our summer league roster out there tonight.
This. We're beyond tanking at this point and it was intentional what we were running out there. Not sure what people expected when we can't even name half the starting line up on any given night
3 years ago, or hell even last season, I would probably agree. I expect more.
Now?
When will the pain stop? I feel like Apollo Creeds coach from Rocky 4, but he got bored and went home already after yelling and screaming for hours.
Every single game should count right now. Not showing any effort or care,
4 years into a rebuild, and the
5th straight 23 or less win season.I've said it before, and ill say it until I'm blue in the face;
What is happening here, in Detroit, is exceedingly rare. So much so, that there are only 3 teams that have ever been this bad for this long of a stretch, (one team was during a lockout shortened season!)and if they do it again next year, they will be in the same realm as the first
6 years of the expansion Vancouver Grizzlies.
Other teams fans, and apparently a sizeable portion of Piston fans, don't understand what is happening here, and how highly irregular it is.
The Pistons have become the
very definition of rock bottom.
Worst, or second worst run franchise over a 5 year period,
EVER. 6 is looming LARGE.
This stretch is
historically bad.
