The worst losing streak in NBA history has been equaled, there is almost no talk about the Pistons. They are still sad, but they have become inconsequential… until they are close to another negative record. And they will be. They lost to the Rockets by 110-112 and since October 29 they have accumulated a balance of 1-35 after now linking six consecutive defeats. They started 2-1. Impossible to think about all the drama that would come later.
The Pistons’ terrible season could be summed up in a play from the clash against the Rockets. Killian Hayes he put the ball into play and passed it to his teammate Isaiah Stewart, who in an absolute lack of concentration, went out along the baseline to serve him. The play, of course, ended in a loss of the ball. On the bench, as it could not be otherwise, the coaching staff threw their hands up.

In a game that is resolved by two points, any loss of the ball can be considered decisive and if it is as absurd as that… Fred VanVleet was the executioner on this occasion. The point guard led the Rockets’ comeback against score 17 of his 20 points in the second half. In the last quarter he scored eight in a row to go from 107-102 with three minutes left to 107-112. In the last possession, Jaden Ivey missed a triple to give the Pistons the win. Impossible.
It’s hard to find a team this bad and for so long. Because If we go back to the last five seasons, the Detroit franchise has won 83 games and lost 257, which represents a 24.4% victory rate.. The recent past was bad, the present is terrible, and the future will put the franchise back in the history books. It is heading towards the worst season ever.
