Contentious C Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) Detroit getting taken behind the woodshed again tonight. Will tie them for 5th longest losing streak all-time. Crazy the two closest calls they had the whole time were Milwaukee and Denver. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY TENTH, HISTORY WILL BE ON THE LINE! Spurs at Pistons. Someone's gotta win, right?

The Pistons are a goddamn mess, and frankly, the roster is the least of their problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 (edited) I wonder if these are the two longest concurrent losing streaks all-time. I mean, maybe someone else lost 11 or 12 in a row when Philly lost 28 straight over 2 seasons, but two separate 15+ streaks is a bit much. Spurs' next 2 are Lakers & Pels, so those are pretty decent chances to be Ls, which would put both at 20 (Detroit is on the road at Philly/MIL back-to-back nights, so let's just pencil those both in as drubbings).

Zimbra Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Giannis trying to run up on the whole Pacers locker room got them spooked enough that they signed James Johnson for backup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Can we mercy rule the entire season for Detroit? This has reached fucking absurd levels. If they go a game above .500 the rest of the way (a nearly impossible thought to even entertain) they would still finish 30-52. They are already 15.5 games out of first place just 25 games in!

SirFozzie Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Are the Celtics ever going to lose at home again? (answer of course is yes, don't be ridickerous (TM Balky Bartokomous) but still, winning the second game of a back to back (Third in five days) against a bogey team, with a two-way player the only center available...) No Horford, No Tingus Pingus, not even a Luke Kornet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I'm not at all surprised the Wizards are terrible, but I the one thing I was sure of about them I've been dead wrong on. I was positive Jordan Poole was going to inefficiently score a ton of points, maybe even make a run at the scoring title. Like Jerry Stackhouse the first year in Detroit after Hill left.

Kuetsar Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 So the Lakers raised a banner for the IST? Pretty pathetic, especially for a team with their history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly done for Silver's benefit. It's also the only one they'll raise for it, they'll just add years on if they win it again. I think it was supposed to also look very different from the actual championship banners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy Weaver has to be running out of time Monty Williams though... He's in the first year of what I believe is the largest coaching contract in NBA history, that's gotta be hard to buyout during the first year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 This all reminds me that I saw that Wes Unseld Jr was the "favorite" in Vegas to be the first coach fired But I don't really see it since Washington is actively tanking and there is no reason to get rid of Wes (at least in season) since he is willing to coach that rabble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 (edited) Billy Donovan's got to be the guy feeling the hot seat the most. Practically everyone else on a bad team has changed coaches rather recently, or the team was expected to be bad, and the Bulls have been stinky ever since Lonzo tore up his knee. Milwaukee's playing better, but hey, crazy quirk of the schedule and their IST appearance: they've played 8 more home games so far than road. They could be in for a brutal stretch once that has to even out. Edited December 22, 2023 by Contentious C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
