74 games into the NBA season, the Detroit Pistons finally have more wins than the Detroit Lions!
These wins were against: Charlotte Hornets (3x), Chicago Bulls (2x), Toronto Raptors (2x), Washington Wizards (2x), OKC Thunder, Sacramento Kings, Portland Trail Blazers, and the Brooklyn Nets.
Now let’s look at player stats. PG Cade Cunningham averages 22.7 points a game, 4.3 rebounds a game, and 7.5 assists per game. Jalen Duren averages 13.6 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. Yes, those are all the notable players on their squad.
The Pistons win percentage is just .171! For comparison, the 5 seed New York Knicks have a .592 win percentage without two of their star players.
Now, you may be wondering, why are the Pistons so god awful? Well, it’s complicated. It has to be the combination of bad coaching, lack of talent, and being unlucky. With all those traits of the Pistons, they sit dead last in the East (15th), and are probably not going to surpass the Washington Wizards any time soon.
Well, congratulations Pistons! You officially have more wins than the Detroit Lions.
Oh wait, the Lions won two playoff games…
