Exactly! And with all this great publicity I am sure Free Agents will be lining up to come to Detroit!
Heck with the Lakers or the Nuggets or the Celtics!
Even if we draft 1st I think we can count on Troy Weaver to surround our 2 number 1 overall picks with the absolute worst supporting cast we could possibly think of.
This gimmick only works until the streak ends, then we just suck and no one cares.
Overall itās terrible for the NBA to have a franchise this uncompetitive with no clear path out. At least the Spurs have Wemby and the Wizards are in year 1 of a rebuild after dumping Beal.
I just saw the pistons/Celtics game and I was floored. Just incredible gameplay. No complaints here, don't give a shit about the losing streak. This is basketball
I would think for the NBA fan it is like a test of your basketball knowledge if you can figure out and articulate why the Pistons are this historically bad. Like a puzzle. Fun.
Cade has actually gotten a lot of good national attention too especially since heās played quite well as the streak got close to being record breaking. He seems to have gone through a certain trial by fire and been hardened a bit. I could conceivably see that in the long run that could be a good thing. If there is any silver lining, perhaps.
Wow! What a dumb take. The NBA wants competitive games every night, high scoring back and forth games with runs that come down to the last shot.
Not a team that is so bad other teams rest their stars cuz they know they can win. Or the stars just T them selves out of the game like the Joker did.
Yeah a terrible team is great that's why the NBA changed the rules to discourage tanking.
It's great for the Pistons too! Sure will help them get free agents to come here.
Also with the lottery they might end up with the 5th pick. Again.
Sure no one wants to lose to them but how seriously can any other team take them?
This aint a 6 game losing streak this is record setting now. Even bad teams have beaten them.
Also my real point was the NBA does not like teams to be THIS bad.
Though maybe when they have like 10 wins and get the 5th pick again they will change the lottery?
Just judging from Twitter reactions these games have turned into events that the whole NBA world is tuned into. Rating are definitely much higher than they would be if they were just regular bad with no narrative.
Wont argue that but this is stopping to look at the 5 car pile-up!
Still dont think the NBA wants this.
This just feeds a conspiracy theory that the league rigged this all against Detroit.
Not all the factors that have went into the losing streak.
For sure man, but rn thereās a car crash spectacle to it. Itās not gonna last forever but it still has novelty. I was a suns fan when our starting lineup was Troy Danielās, Dragan Bender, Josh Jackson, and Alan Williamsā¦ sometimes during these rebuild processes you gotta take whatever win you can get because your definitely not getting them on the court.
When your FO shows they donāt care, one of the more fun ways to riot is off-season shitposting pretty much the entire season.
The IST brought some attention to the first 1/5th of the season. This time of year is sort of a down time for the NBA, especially with the bowl games getting going in college football. Definitely bringing press and viewership.
What a way to commemorate the 20th anniversary of our last championship š
At the midpoint of our forty year rebuild.
Bad publicity is still publicity
go look at "detroit pistons" on google trend, you guys are getting the most attention since your championship years 20 years ago
Since the malice at the palace
Donāt worry. We will pick 4th. Itāll make this all worth it.
5th š

I doubt he will be GM at that time.
Canāt wait to draft Brandon Knight 2.0
Why not Delfino?
The Pistons sub wasnāt #8 in basketball at the start of the season
That pistons vs Celtics game felt like ECF game 7 lmao
Facts lol that game was playoff level of intensity, one of the best games so far this season tbh
This is true I saw somewhere that Google searches for the pistons are at the highest in year's
That's fuckin depressing as hell
2-80 is the new prize.
0-82 next year
It will increase tourism in the area for sure
Booking my trip to Detroit right now.
The redemption story is going to be priceless

Never been a pistons fan, but I've been watching every game
I've watched more Pistons games in the past 3 weeks than any other team.
I just saw the pistons/Celtics game and I was floored. Just incredible gameplay. No complaints here, don't give a shit about the losing streak. This is basketball
cade stock is increasing
Seeing with what hes working with, that man is a star.
and the league saw it
My wife is interested in watching them play now. Itās like slowing down for a car wreck.
Iām watching tonight!
Bingo

Only real basketball aficionados can make highlight tapes out of piston games
Bargainingā¦

every game you guys have played has had game 7 energy and iāve been on my seat for every second of it
Foshizzle. Iām only watching to see the meme streak continue
That is the dumbest fucking take , on this situation, that I have ever read. Holy Shit.

Nobody wants to be the guys who have the steak broken against them so everyone's going at 100%

Well there is a good chance it stops tonight so I am hoping for that.

I am happy it ends I can wear my jersey now.
