The Pistons lost 122-128 in overtime to the Celtics and suffered a 28-game losing streak, which has now equaled the NBA losing streak. The last team to go on an 28-game losing streak was Philadelphia in 2015, but at that time they were simply shameless and wanted to rebuild. But the Pistons don't want to mess up this year, and it can be seen from the fact that they spent hundreds of millions of dollars to sign Monty, and the team wants to make the playoffs.
Monty's contract is not a small amount, it is the existence of crushing Popovich and Kerr, the contract is as high as six years and $78.5 million, including the seventh and eighth years of the team option, adding up to hundreds of millions of dollars. The team has enough talent, the veteran has Bogdan, the interior has Duren, the quarterback has Ivey, the 21-year-old Cunningham, and the two former leaders of the bench Bagley and Wiseman. If you are an afterthought now, the Pistons take Monty and want to continue to play bad for a year, who believes this?If you want to put it badly, Pistons assistant coach Silas is not a professional?
Silas led the team to the bottom three in the three years of the Rockets, won a list, a scout, a No. 4 pick, and if you want to talk about who is the worst coach this year, I think Monty is definitely the first in the league. Udoka led the Rockets to eighth in the West, and that hand is not as good as you, it can only be said that Udoka led the Green Army to the Finals is something, but Monty is not leading the Suns to the playoffs, it is Paul and Booker and Bridges who lifted Monty to a height that does not belong to him.
It can be seen from the process of the game that Cunningham was full of firepower at the beginning, and he scored 10 points in a row. The Pistons quickly stretched to 11 points, and in the second quarter, Cunningham exploded again to score 12 points, and the Pistons had a 21-point lead at the most. But throughout the second half, Monty didn't have any ability to adjust, and could only watch Boshen and Tatum eat away one point after another, until they were tied at the end of the third quarter. The final quarter of the life-and-death battle, or the old tactic, Cunningham unlimited singles, Bojan outside bet three points. The two sides battled hard until the last minute, and Cunningham's block was blown to interfere, and the two sides went into overtime, and the game was basically over.
In overtime, the Celtics fired a lot of arrows and quickly put the game to a halt. On the Green Army's side, Tatum scored 31 points on 11-of-31 shooting, and he still won the Pistons despite being so inefficient, Boshen scored 35 points on 13-of-21, White White scored 22 points, Holiday scored 12 points and 9 boards, and Horford scored 8 points and 5 boards. On the Pistons' side, Cunningham once again scored 31 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists, Duren had 15 points and 14 boards, Ivey had 22 points, and Bojan had 17 points. So far, Cunningham has lost all of the first 11 games of his career with 30 points, continuing to set a new personal record, and it is also a record of 30+ consecutive losses at the beginning of his NBA career.
I'm afraid no one will be able to surpass Cunningham's humiliating record in December, when he scored 40 points twice and 30 points multiple times. In other words, it doesn't matter how many points he scores. The team does not have a sound system to operate, and if it continues to play like this, Cunningham has experienced a third year of losing culture, and it is estimated that the outside world will evaluate him as a data brush. And Monty's contract with the Pistons is still very early.
The Rockets need to rejoice because they were interested in Monty in the offseason, but in the end, after data analysis, Fertitta signed Udoka. At present, it not only saved the young people of the Rockets, but also saved Fei Di 100 million US dollars in spending. Because they want to sign Monty, the Rockets have to go to the lottery. But in the next few years, the Rockets' first-round picks and swap rights belonged to the Thunder, which was simply a wedding dress for the Thunder. Now the Rockets' record is okay, Shin Kyung and Smith are also playing, and Ethan Whitmore Amen is also developing.
