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.
The difference between us and the rest of the teams you mentioned is that they actually have talent.
And the Cavs are not on our timeline. They are so far ahead.
Similar timelines. A year or two ahead.
In a year or two, we should have a solidified roster of young talent, be in the playoffs, with the capital to go out and get an all-star.
You’re trying to say the Pistons don’t have talent? Are we talking about the same Pistons who have been hoarding half the All Rookie Team selections in the league for going on 4 years now? No talent?
