The losing streak has been brutal. But so has this early schedule. Numerous back to backs. Playing tough teams. A depleted roster. But looking at the standings and it doesn’t really look as bad as it felt.

  • Clippers and Wemby’s Spurs have only 1 win more than us.
  • Suns and Cavs (who are on a similar timeline as us) have only 2 wins more.
  • We are still only 4 games back from the 6th seed. 71 games left.

Just saying. I don’t know how the season will shake out but it’s early.

      Houston started with a harden, and Westbrook trade. Also cashed in on money and fvv hasn’t been worth 40 million so far.

      Orlando was given 2 very high firsts thanks to bulls and wcj.

      This frustrates me too, but the Pistons’ rebuild is not really cut from the same cloth even though it may look like it on the surface.

      Houston is also paying FVV $44M a year lol

      They actually went out for free agent vets this offseason, we have cap space for the foreseeable future. Dont think our teams are as comparable with us not spending this past off season.
