Well somehow that matchup only produces wins at a 12% clip, yet we somehow can’t figure it out
Naw. I don't boo my team unless they quit. They were bad tonight but they didn't quit.

That's it, the clear answer is the Kings taking Cade and Bojan off their hands so they can continue on this new path of Detroit basketball. haha.

This Pistons team is terrible, though.

They were down by something like 25 to this team in Detroit

Welp. I can’t even bear to go on twitter and look at the comments tonight. All the melting down and doomer comments, i can’t even be mad at em tonight. Seems like other teams can put together these great streaks of winning and we go and do crap like this at home?? This is just like last season as far as “homecourt advantage” goes.

We honestly should have been blown out by 25 given Detroit’s shooting splits. The question is what can we do about it? We can’t keep having buzz saw three point performances from other teams. I don’t have the answer

This is why when people said that getting snubbed in the All Star selection would bring the fire to prove people wrong, nah, not our guys, they just don't have the swagger and that killer instinct consistently.

Story of the season.
I hope people can begin to see it - our offense is one dimensional. It's a huge disappointment as I thought our roster was poised to be basically unstoppable offensively this year.
I am pleasantly surprised by our defense. But we aren't winning anything being a jump shooting team.

We have to make a trade to wake this team up
Somebody got to go. And the coaching staff needs to do better from top to bottom
The substitutions have been terrible, game management, accountability you name it.

The Kings can be attacked by certain combo's and if a team is hitting their 3's it's going to be a rough night.

This team is deeply flawed.

"Scoring is not a problem. We can score with the best of them."
Why didn't you drop 140 on this Pistons team then?
I guess his shoulder must be acting up again... I'm done hearing excuses for Fox. He's not showed up for all of our games this season and there's no other way to put it. I don't feel like that's fair for Sabonis. Sabonis is playing the best basketball of his career, but his teammates don't give it their all every single night.

So are they going to send Keon Ellis to the podium as the cherry on top?
I’m sorry but you’re wrong. You don’t lose to a team that is this bad, at home, and without its two best players, without showing some “quit.” We quit for long stretches of the second and third, turned it in for about 6 minutes to end the third, and then thought we had it in the bag. Zero effort in the 4th. We played hard about 18 minutes. If that doesn’t deserve being booed I am not sure what does.

and they lost in the first round, by losing games 5 and 7 at home. It's a real concern for those that don't want to see that again
Everyone knows that Cade Cunningham is the Pistons' leading scorer. I don't think that everyone knows that he's their best player. They're 3-37 with him this season, and now 4-6 without him. Has yet to have a season where he's even finished Top 5 on his own team in Win Shares. His efficiency is remarkably average, despite being Top 15 in Usage rate. I don't see any clear indication that he's the best player on the Pistons. There aren't many indications that he's even one of the Top 2.
Doesn't make this loss any less embarrassing, though.

And Monte thought this roster was good enough to “run it back” this year . What a waste of a year if nothing is done tomorrow.

I agree with everything in this post.

To make matters worse we are out of the top 6 and New Orleans is about to beat the clippers to give them a one game lead over us plus the obvious tie breaker. Really bad timing for this loss considering the terrible stretch of games coming up. We need to hold steady and then rip off five or six in a row in march

The problem is that the players do not take other teams seriously.
Also, Detroit was hitting a lot of three-pointers with shorter players trying to guard them; the closeouts were often good, but the Pistons are taller. I know Mitchell plays very good man-to-man defense, but we needed someone like Edwards out there to keep them honest from the three-point line.
Maybe Mitchell will be gone by tomorrow night? Here's hoping.

But clearly they have talent. Their issue is the same issue the Kings had forever. Taking that talent and trashing it through usage or stacking positions draft after draft. I think on paper the Pistons have been one of the better drafting teams but my goodness, without a plan or real workable team it's going to be garbage. Just like it was garbage stacking a bunch of PG's next to Fox and putting him off the ball.

No the pistons are great! They only broke the record for most losses ever!
What is this guy
Kings remain an enigma
Best 7 game road trip in franchise history.
Come home to get worked by the worst tram in basketball.
Starts with Fox not showing up and supporting his running mate. We can gripe all we want about the rest of the guys, but as max players Domas and Fox are expected to show up night on and night out, regardless of how the rest of the team is playing. Fox looked great for most of the road trip, but he just doesn't get a pass for a performance like this. Domas certainly does and he far too often is the only one working out there
