The Detroit Pistons are 4-37 since last year’s trade deadline. That is an 8 win pace for an 82 game season which would be the worse record in history. (alien.top)

The Pistons are in year 4 of their rebuild (some would say they’ve been rebuilding since the Drummond draft), and currently seem to be taking steps backwards with their young core.

Cade is currently the least efficient player to average 20+ ppg in the league & Monty has been questionable with his coaching patterns. Their 2020 draft where they selected Hayes, Stewart, & Bey, has been a failure considering who was available on the board. They had similar cap money to Houston this off-season & instead of adding quality vets to help their core, they took on expiring contracts for players that aren’t even in the rotation.

There is no doubt they are the “black eye” of the league, & have been for some time.

Giving Monty that contract was such a huge mistake

No coach in the league could succeed with such shit talent. The Pistons have a bottom 5 roster and a bottom 5 record. Why should that surprise anyone?

Lmaoo u give spoelstra that exact team and they have atleast 8 wins by now

[–] prettyboylee@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You think they wouldn’t have a bottom 5 record simply cause Spoelstra coached them?

Coach spo coached dion waiters , Hassan whiteside , and James Johnson as his main players and turned around an 11-30 record to start the season and finished 30-11 41-41 for the season in 16,17. So yea u give spo the pistons roster and he’s getting u wins

turned around an 11-30 record to start the season and finished 30-11 41-41 for the season

I’m confused by your comment

In 2016-17 we started the season 11-30 , with the core players of goran,waiters , whiteside , James Johnson , Tyler Johnson just mediocre ass players and with no trades in that season that team turned around in the second half of the season going 30-11 so I’d think he’d do just fine with the talent the pistons have

Of the first 41 games they only won 11 of them, they then proceeded to win 30 out of the next 41 games to give them a 41-41 record. There are 82 games in a season.

I mean shi literally look at last year what ? After the first round where it was just jimmy every team we went against had a better roster and coach spo ran laps around mazzula and thibs he’s doing that to everyone

Hard homer take

[–] livefreeordont@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Not really. Spo has a history of turning shit into silver

[–] Gauthzu@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

In the regular season?

[–] TuasBestie@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Of course lol

[–] CluelessTennisBall@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Yes

[–] 333jnm@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This doesn’t make sense. You say this then you later that he had a team that started 11-30. That’s what the pistons are doing right now. But a lot do the issue with Detroit is they have a losing culture for the last 15 years at least. Miami with Riley and Spo have created a winning culture.
