this is amazing.  

what a run of futility!  

do the nets bring up their gleague squad as a kind of "xmas bonus"?  "we love the work youve been doing this year, as a sign of our appreciation, you get to come up for two games to beat an nba team!"*

 

*: the pistons are technically an nba team even if they probably belong in the gleague.

It's sad that they have to play at the very best to even have a chance to beat a depleted bad team like the Jazz. They just have no margin for error cause they don't have any one skill they can rely on. They can't play defense, can't protect the ball, without Duren can't rebound and most importantly can't shoot.  The only way they can win is if they play a near clean game, shoot good from deep and hope their opponent has an off night shooting.

I read that as they probably belong in the gulag. Maybe they can would win some games there.

Yep.  I don't watch a lot of NBA basketball outside of the Pistons but could never imagine an NBA team sinking this low.

Aside from the actual physical and skill limitations from this team they also just aren't very smart. Like too often when they do have the numbers in transition they will either make the wrong pass, make it too early/late or not make it at all and attempt a tough shot where there only hope is too be bailed out by a whistle.

Same thing in the halfcourt, they could have an easy or atleast easier look but instead choose to pass it in traffic at somebody's feet, kick it out for a 3(which wouldn't be bad if they had guys that can shoot) or hesitate allowing the defense to close in. 

On defense they switch off and help at the wrong times, seem to never be in right position for the rebounds or leave their feet when it isn't necessary.

Good thing they have the 2nd highest paid coach in the league.

so bogey is cooked and livers sucks.  the two guys we were told the team was relying on and who would have made so much of a difference if they werent hurt to start the year.

they refused to trade bogey last year or in the offseason.  why?  so they could watch the redictable decline of a mid-30s unathletic shooter?  and then doubled down by trading for broken joe harris?

basketball malpractice going on here.

I think they might lose 77 in a row. I mean, they're not even close in these games, the Memphis, Washington and Utah games all at home were pretty much double digit losses.  It's actually comically bad at this point and the sadistic side of me wants to see how far they can take this losing streak.
