I’ve been a major distributor of doom and gloom on this sub for a week or so (for good reasons) but now I’m just questioning my whole life. Not in a scary way, but like a “why am I signing up every night to watch my favorite team lose over, and over, and over, and over, and over again” type of way.

I could easily learn how to play a guitar. Or write a book. Or solve world hunger. But instead, I watch James Wiseman be bad at basketball.

And it’s not just this year. Besides the Bad Boys and Goin’ to Work Pistons, every single era of Detroit Pistons basketball has been, historically, absolute dog shit. For ALL upcoming Pistons fans, the highlight of their fandoms have been watching this team getting swept as an 8 seed…twice. It is truly incredible how much we have endured losing in our lives and we continue to turn on the TV for every game as if we have amnesia.

All I want in life is for this team to be competent and competitive. I don’t think I’m asking for much. But somehow that is impossible for this organization.

And I’ll never give up. I’ve gone too far to do that. I’ll keep being depressed about this team, and still turn on the TV every night for the rest of my life. It’s a sickness I can never cure.

I have no idea what the purpose of this post was, but then again, what is the purpose of being a fan of this team anyway. Moral of the story: I just want better. This fanbase deserves better. Sigh
