And the thing that hurt is that there are games that they could have won, I mean they play good in the first quarter or the first half. And then they will just mentality collapse and it become their story as most of their losing streak is like that game.

So it's really frustration from everyone, coaches, players, management and fans.

Great game by the Cavs btw, making a great comeback and stunned the Luka crowd. Mavs took control but the Cavs won't simply go.

It was really a shocker and even for me I was like what has happened looking at the stats for that game I was like even though Domantis Sabonis got a double-double of 12 rebounds and 34 points and De'Aaron Fox got a monster 43 points for this game but it was not enough as the score of the Kings didn't spread for the team while the Trail Blazer did a great thing with this game, as Anfernee Simons, Duop Reath for the 1st time got 25 points for this game as not they have won this game, well good for him for sure,


It was really a bad night for the Sacramento Kings as this is a big upset for sure I never expected that the Trail Blazers would have their chance to win and break their consecutive losses for sure there are many who lost their bets because of this, as  was nearly bet for the Sacramento Kings aswell, this is a game last December 27, even Sabonis and Fox had a great night for this game they surely can not win by themselves, as the Trail Blazers have forcefully let those two take the score maybe,


For sure and I would also bet that the Boston Celtics would surely win this one, but unfortunately, I have seen the odds and it will not be profitable for me to bet on that game so I will pass later I will make my prediction and picks for the games today for the NBA on the betting thread that is,

And Detroit Pistons sure will not have a chance against the Boston Celtics that is for sure upon looking at the stats and who's going to play for the Boston Jaylen Brown has a back injury that enables him to play for the Boston Celtics, for me the Boston Celtics will still win this,

Yeah it's gotten pretty bad over there but to say they couldn't beat the aces is laughable.  They would absolutely destroy the aces.  They lost by 6 points against the Nets it's not like they are losing by 50 points every game.  Either way I do hope they get it together it's not good for the NBA having a team this bad.

They’re in a rebuild. Nobody thought they would be a good team. Similar to the Spurs. They’re stacking young talent and preparing themselves for better times ahead. Still, their losing streak does raise some concerns about whether or not this team has any future. You’d think they would get lucky once a month at least.

They need to find that right adjustments on both sides, nothing will change even how deep they will take these losing streaks,

they should focus on the things that they can still improve, dwelling with losses will not change anything.

Winning attitude still need inside of each players mindset, it's been a long time but still nothing is happening with this franchise, unable to create
some hypes and now a losing streak record that will be kept in the league history, something that the owner should try to work on.

I guess they have a problem in every factor you've mentioned. But the biggest factor IMO are its roster because there's not legit leader for this team, so they aren't guided especially in the crucial minutes. It's the team chemistry that is hurting the team, they for sure have talents since they are in the NBA, but if they don't play inspired basketball, this is what they will continue to get.

Tomorrow they'll be against the Celtics who are still undefeated at home, this is sure another L in the record, their streak will continue.

We can predict and continue to be amazed with the Celtics, Bucks and 76ers, but we should not forget that Miami Heat are their destroyer, so I think they are still the team to beat in the East since they are the defending ECF champion.

Oh yeah! That dude is really amazing. IMO, he will have a place for the All-Star when the time is ripe. I am actually hoping it will be this year.
Well, about their loss against the Pacers, it's given as Haliburton went wild.

How about the Philadelphia 76ers defeating the Orlando Magic at their home while the 76ers are undermanned without Embiid? Wow! They are the underdog in this game and lucky are those who trusted them because I bet you made some good money today.
How did they do it? Defense! 10 steals that made the Magic turnovers to 17. Lesser turnovers for the 76ers with just 10. That's the recipe for a win, defense, and protecting the ball.
Both teams didn't shoot well at the three-point line but the 76ers somehow made a good amount in points in the paint. Tyrese Maxey led the team with 23 points and next to him were Harris and Melton who scored 22.
But for me, Paul Reed was the best player of the game as those 10 rebounds are important without Embiid on the floor. Lucky are those who took the bet before the game started and was announced that Embiid would not be able to play.

Huge frustrations are now in side with Piston since they are now mentally in trouble because it seems they are in situation where they are so desperate on situation they are on. Losing such huge streak is so awkward especially their fans is totally ashamed on how they perform. I feel sorry for Cade but they need to step up and win their game since if they let those frustrations eat them then for sure they might continue to get a defeat. As said they also need to have good adjustment and coach have other plan to make this things work right since their play is totally a huge means and their defense is so poor and that contribute on why they encounter another defeat.

Writing off the Heat again huh? It's all good though since we're already used to them being the dark horse every playoffs. Key players from previous seasons already left but Herro and Robinson are stepping up then they have the Jaime.

Yes it's always going to be tough with those two teams around but I also think the Sixers is better as a team with their current roster. They are harder to predict with so many guys capable of running their offense.

I think there is, if I'm not mistaken, someone already posted as to what odds that the Pistons are going to break their slump. And it's just too bad though that it be their city that will have the worse record in any team sports in US history and it could really bring some problems mentally to the players itself, like Cunningham or even Wiseman who seasons ago are playing on a championship caliber team in GSW.  And as one fans said, "it's hard to represent a team that is doing so bad". And Detroit Pistons are being trolled everywhere including their own fans. I haven't heard any reaction for former Detroit great players though. Maybe it's time to look at it as what like Isiah Thomas will have to say on the current state of his former team.

Right, we have witnessed Cade shredding tears if I'm not mistaken as they have lost another game. I'm not sure though if they have time to fix it, I mean just look at the body language of this players, they surely doesn't want to be in this space.

I heard a lot of fans really getting mad, even in their reddit, if you follow them they are some fans that ridicule this group that you don't want to read what this fans are saying to their team. And I guess as you have said, they are going to carry this one for years until someone erases that record.

That's awkward record written in history and for sure those players part with this is really been ashamed because they experience this on their career.

But they still got some time to fix this and also their coaching staff should help this kid so that they can help their team to win at least one game since this might be a game changer for them and their confidence will be back since they might get boosted to win more games.

For sure Pistons fans are more pissed of now that they record this long streak loss on NBA so I guess they need total revamp on their roster or even the coaches handle their team since its like they had a problem in that area.

Great win as well by the Sixers, even without Joel Embiid, they travel at Amway and beat a good solid team in Orlando Magic. And as far as betting goes, they are the underdog, so no one expect that they can pull this win on the road.

Melton is back and so he had a good game together with Maxey and Tobias Harris. Morris in the first quarter was cooking as well as he take advantage of Cole Anthony guarding him. I think this is a good year for Sixers, but it's a tough Eastern conference with the Boston Celtics and Giannis lead Bucks.

^^ But then again, even though Luka has another big numbers against the Cavs, they still lost in the end. As what the announcer say, pesky Cavs and even they enjoyed a big lead going into the 4th quarter, the Cavs keeps coming back and eventually take the lead and that was enough and then they double team him in the dying seconds and Curry didn't get a good look.

So after beating Booker and KD the other night, they've lost a bad and ugly game that is winnable for them.

39 big points for Luka, but Cavs has more solid balance scoring and they have the heart, specially Lavert who lead the Cavs tonight.

Luka was only the pick number 3, probably the reason behind is that they are doubtful an europian player could do well in the NBA, or would carry the same skils. There was a Europian player before named Andrea Bargnani the number 1 overall pick in 2006, he didn't do well in the NBA, I mean he is not playing like a number 1 pick, so most likely that's one of the reasons considered as Europian players could not compete with the NBA at a high level, plus they are slower compared to the NBA players, however Luka was different.

he was drafter by the Hawks but was traded for Trae Young, I think both teams already had an agreement before that trade happen.


You can only say based on our opinion, but if we look at his number, you can easily tell that he is bringing his A game day in, day out.

To be fair, Luka has some special hatred towards the Suns, one season they faced and Booker made fun of it when they were leading the series, dude literally turned the series all by himself and won it just because he was mocked.

But, I do dislike all the Luka love that he is seeing recently, I have been a big Luka fan even before he got to NBA, and I said that no matter who has the first pick, should get Luka as the first big, nobody in that draft was even remotely as good as Luka, dude is a superstar and he was Euroleague MVP even before getting to NBA, at age 18, that's something magical and teams made a HUUUUGE mistake not getting him, I literally said this on reddit before he was drafted, months before.

But, the thing I dislike about him now is the fact that he looks like he doesn't care, he is not aiming at grinding hard, why do I think like that?

Well, Suns game is the proof, when he puts his mind into it, he could take Mavs to near title levels, and he just doesn't, if only he cared about every game like he cared about Suns games.

The Detroit Pistons played well when Grant Hill was still playing there.
Now Grant Hill is also the owner of the NBA club, the Atlanta Hawks.
Although grant hill when playing at the detroit pistons was unable to bring the team to the NBA championship.
but at that time the detroit game was quite dazzling.
because his time grant hill NBA is still in the control of michael jordan

I also don't know what's happening with the Pistons, they even have reasonable players, like Bogdanović and Cunningham, but 27 defeats in a row is something surreal, I was surprised that the Pistons could break the record for the team with the longest streak defeats including the NFL, NHL and MLB.
In fact, I believe it's crazy to bet on the Pistons in this NBA season...

What is one of the reasons why Detroit is having such an extremely poor performance this season? Lack of chemistry between the players? A bad staff/coach and technical committee? Or another variable that I didn't mention?

The misfortunes of the Pistons will end soon. But not to a ruthless Celtics team but rather to another team in their next matches. Pistons is 11x on the match with the Celtics. The next gambling odds could be 7x to 11x in their next matches. Perhaps it is not terrible to put down a bet in their next 7 to 10 matches.

But this is truly awful when it is consistent that a group of teams remain at the bottom of the table. I keep thinking about whether the owners have revenues. Ticket costs will be modest. TV channels would favor the other NBA matches assuming they had the decision of which teams to broadcast.

A close game from the Pistons wouldn't be unexpected. If you look at the results of the last four games, you'll notice that they've been losing by a few points. For example, the Pistons lost 6 points against the Hawks, 8 points against the Jazz, and they lost their last two games against the Nets by 11 and 6 points, respectively. I mean, sometimes it seems like the Pistons can break their losing streak, but at the same time, they don't get lucky or lack something else in the endings of games like this.
