The last time the Pistons made the playoffs was 2019, but you have to go back even further to 2008 for the last time they won a singular playoff game. This franchise has been the doormat of the NBA for quite a while now and it doesn't seem like this will change anytime soon.
This past offseason the Pistons hired Monty Williams as their new head coach, marking the largest coaching contract ever in NBA history. The Pistons are a very young team with their core consisting of many players that have been in the league for a couple of seasons at most.
You can't blame it on the way this team has been built because look across the league at the Thunder and what they've been able to accomplish with one of the youngest teams as well. Something needs to change with this team and fast, or else they are going to set another record, this time for the most losses in a single season.
They have a promising young star in Cade Cunningham and the team should run through him. They have to pick it up defensively though. They have been consistently letting teams run all over them, knocking down threes left and right. They have currently played 30 games and in only one of those games did they hold their opponents to less than 100 points scored.
Change is needed in Detroit and fast. The Pistons have continued to be scrutinized as the laughing stock of the NBA and currently are struggling to simply win a game. Before every game, the goal for each team in the league is to win. The Pistons haven't accomplished their goal since October 28th, 61 days ago.
