Los Detroit Pistons They have completed their collapse this Saturday and, after falling to the Brooklyn Nets 126-115, they have equalized the worst streak in NBA history with 26 consecutive losses.
There was no Christmas miracle for these Pistons absolutely in ruins and already Through their own demerits, they have earned a place in the saddest pages of the NBA history books. along with the Philadelphia 76ers of the 2013/14 season and the Cleveland Cavaliers of 2010/11, both also with 26 consecutive losses.
Next Tuesday, December 26 and in Detroit, Monty Williams’ men will face the Nets again with the pressure of obtaining a victory by any means possible to not becoming the team with the worst streak of all time. There is yet another unfortunate border in their descent into hell that the Pistons could cross: that of the 28 consecutive losses that the Philadelphia 76ers accumulated in 2014/15 and 2015/16 counting the end of one season and the beginning of the next.
Statistics aside, there is no possible consolation for this team that does not do justice to an iconic NBA franchise with three championship rings: both of the fierce and fearsome Bad Boys by Isiah Thomas (1989 and 1990) and the one in 2004 with Chauncey Billups at the helm, burning a magnificent Los Angeles Lakers with Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, Gary Payton and Karl Malone from defense.
Bottom of the Eastern Conference with the worst record in the entire league (a chilling 2-27), the Detroit team is now a team buried in the abyss and He has not won a match since last October 28when they beat the Chicago Bulls 118-102.
Taking away that victory and one more on October 27, against the Charlotte Hornets (99-111), the Motown city team He has lost 27 of his 29 games this season and he did not achieve a single victory throughout the entire month of November or so far in December.
The conversation around the Pistons already revolves around the teams with the worst balance and winning percentage at the end of a regular season in NBA history.
And the 2-27 leaves Detroit with a winning percentage of .069 while the worst teams in the history of the league at the end of the regular phase were the Charlotte Bobcats of the 2011/12 campaign (7-59 and .106 in a lockout-shortened season) and the Philadelphia 76ers of the 1972/73 (9-73 y .110).
