Thanks to a complete destruction by the vengeful Lakers following the rout during their match in Philadelphia, the 2023-24 Pistons are now the owners of a dirty record: that of the franchise’s longest losing streak , with 15 matches lost in a row. Monty Williams nevertheless wants to put things into perspective, by emphasizing the experience gained.
What to remember from the Pistons – Lakers match? That it was probably more interesting in the late 80s than today. Pretty easy and mediocre low-level joke, sorry. In reality, we retain very little. Just that these Pistons do not have a viable game solution, but can we even ask a group at such an embryonic level of development to produce something of their own against a team as experienced as that of the Purple and Gold?
Not necessarily. And Monty Williams’ role is also – according to him – to help young people get through this difficult time. Through play, of course, but also by building on the experience gained today, which will materialize into determination and desire tomorrow.
“My job is to help the guys get through this period. I told them, one of the ways to earn respect in this sport and in life is when you go through tough times, and you hang on.” – Monty Williams, for ESPN.
Statements to try to put out the fire as best they could. The fans don’t see it that way, since the Pistons players were entitled to a nice bronca at the final buzzer. Unfortunately, Detroit’s schedule is really, really not cut out to hope for a victory – on paper – soon.
The Pistons had to win last night.
They had to beat the Wizards.
For what ?
Because they are currently on a 14-game losing streak…
…and that’s their calendar until the end of the year.

Until the end of the calendar year, the Pistons will face established teams who need to win. We could then perhaps reach the all-time record for consecutive defeats in the NBA, co-held by the Cavaliers and the Sixers with 26 defeats in a row. Which you don’t want for guys like Killian Hayes, Cade Cunningham and company. Because at some point, you still have to progress, Draft or not.
