Which team will end their losing streak first?...Pistons or spurs? (Update: Spurs win a game!)

At least we know one streak will end on January 10th.

Looking at both of their upcoming schedules, I don't think any of them will win a game until they play each other on 1/10 :lol:

Pistons probably have a slightly harder schedule though as the Spurs get Portland twice, Chicago, Utah, and Memphis before their game against Detroit. But I have a feeling Detroit will catch either Philly or Milwaukee sleeping and probably will end their streak before us. As long as Pop refuses to make obvious adjustments, it's hard to envision the Spurs winning any time soon

They should put their game against each other on national TV.

We'll find out on January 10th.

Pop fired Bob Hill for a record not as bad as this one.

How long before he mans up and fires himself to let some other guy come and coach a future hall of famer?

Bob Hill was not a 5 time champion as head coach...that's a big difference!

Boston LOVES not showing up for teams that are not very good.

Boston plays Detroit on 12/28 and the Spurs on 12/31. Chances are high the pistons beat Boston.

It's not impossible it happens at the same time. At some point they'll catch someone you wouldn't expect off guard

Either was Popovich when he fired Bob Hill.

Some sucker team will fall asleep and lose to these teams eventually. Just hope it's not your favorite team!

I am going to say the Pistons because Popovich is too skilled at the tank to accidentally win a game.

2 once proud mid/small market franchises with multiple NBA titles in the past. Lots of history. The 2005 NBA Finals seems like a long time ago. SA/Det classic went 7 games, Spurs beating the defending NAB champs Pistons. Multiple HOF players on both sides in the past. Such a shame, both of us has stunk for the past many years now. Lottery teams . lol

Anyhow. I think we might end it sooner than them? Or this thing could drag out til Jan 10 (Spurs at Pistons). :lol:

Bob could never get us over the hump in the playoff years.

Did you forget???

Pop won us our 1st NBA title ('99) and beyond.

We certainly tried our very best to lose to Spurs a few nights ago. They were just too awful to take advantage of just how horribly we played. It was one of the worst, ugliest games of basketball I had the misfortune of watching in a long while.

funny washington also would have had a 15-loss streak if they didn't play against Detroit and won.

expansion doesn't make sense if there will be more awful teams.

Then you have the Wizards with the same 3-19 record as SA. I doubt the bottom 3 of the league has ever been this uncompetitive. We might end up with three 70+ loss teams.

It was like that in the late 1990s with 6-7 teams with 60 or more losses or something like that in a season...it was ugly!
