I find it funny too, Kyle Kuzma poked fun at their 28 game streak on X (Twitter) and he said “at this point just don’t be them😂” yet he is almost in that exact same position with his team. I guess the basketball gods did not treat him well…
I once had a customer at the restaurant I work at tell me a story. You see one day he'd gotten two tickets to a Detroit Pistons game. He was at the grocery store when he remembered he left the tickets inside his windshield for anyone to see. Once he remembered, he ran out to his car, but it was too late. His windshield was smashed and now all that was left was broken glass... and four Detroit Pistons tickets.
That is truly the most tragic story I've ever heard, I can't believe someone would be so cruel as to dare leave behind 4 Pistons tickets like that. I hope he recovered from the ordeal.
@@sportsgamer2342They weren't totally awful in 93. Lost in the Wild Card round, sure, but being fair to that if they had won they'd have had to take on Dallas mid-dynasty so they'd have lost in the Divisional anyway.
Long overdue. The Pistons had to die for our sins in order for the Lions to be our best team in Detroit. I’ll take it! Tom Gores has fucked this franchise.
Tom Gores deserves one of those bad owner videos. One thing I have been grateful for is that he failed to get an MLS team here. We still have DCFC and he can't run that into the ground.
It really was. The most impressive thing about it was that it got people on national TV talking about the Detroit Pistons, whereas otherwise they would be more than happy to ignore us. I mean, can you blame them?
Honestly, the Pistons problems can be traced back to two things 1.) Trading away Chauncey Billups 2.) Joe Dumars completely losing his touch as GM with stupid mistake after another
Joe Dumars the GM after 2008 was a disaster. 1. Trading Chauncey Billups for AI 2. Drafting UConn players 3. Signing Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon to massive contracts 4. Trading Khris Middleton to the Bucks 5. Signing Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings to massive contracts
@@MKISports The funny thing about what you said about drafting UConn guys is in 2011 Draft, that was the one time not picking the UConn Guy was a mistake when he picked Brandon Knight literally One Spot ahead of Kemba Walker
@@comefwteeThat happened before they won a Championship and made a bunch of Finals. You could argue they probably would have done better if they drafted Melo, but that can't be considered part of this downfall.
Nov 3rd, 2008: The Pistons make arguably the worst decision in team history by trading away Chauncey Billups for a past expired A.I after losing in ECF 3 years in a row Trading your team leader for a washed up, arrogant, ballhog who had lost perspective on his value who didn't fit team culture at all. Meanwhile Billups helped Carmelo go as far as he ever did in playoffs as the headliner. Team never recovered from that trade and all the failures stem from that decision. Enjoy your team's good times and NEVER become complacent. Cause it will always come to an end
We didn't trade for AI, we traded for AI's expiring contract. It allowed us a ton of money for free agency the next year. What we did with that money was the real mistake. I'm amazed to this day how many people do NOT understand that trade. And Billups was done as a Piston. He was absolutely sleep walking out there for us. The trade woke him up, but if he stayed it would still been a slow circle of the drain.
Having players like rodman laimbeer aguirre mahorn even thomas and then getting ben sheed prince corliss and billups meant they were scary...now what is there to fear
All the while the Red Wings seem to bring good luck for the Lions and vice versa where the Red Wings wins against the Kings and Maple Leafs coincided with the Lions round 1 win against the Rams and then both the Red Wings and Lions beat the Lightning and Buccaneers on the same day. Also of the 3 Red Wings games that Jameson Williams, Ben Johnson, and Aidan Hutchinson each came to in the pre puck drop rally speech and pull the horn the Red Wings scored 6 or more goals in all of those 3 games
The last time UrinatingTree uploaded an NBA video that wasn't a Haters Guide to the NBA Finals: • The Tampa Bay Lightning won back-to-back Cups • Dan Snyder still owned the Commanders • The Texas Rangers Legacy of Failure was still going on And so much more
As kid kid who grew up about 10 mins from the palace in Pontiac, MI, I loved the Pistons growing up and still do. I came from a poor family and one of the local boys and girls clubs would give us like 10 tickets a year to see the pistons and thru those tickets I was able to watch the stars of the 00s such as billups, hamilton and the wallaces. my first jersey was a blue pistons iverson back when that hype train was still rollin. I seen alot of other stars play too like young bron, kobe, prime dwight howard, steve nash, etc. and thats what kickstarted my love for sports. Its especially sad for me to see the pistons the way they are today considering how many core childhood memories they made for me, gores needs to sell the team. hes taken the little life left out of detroit basketball that there was in the mediocre 2010s. We need to Build around cunningham for the future, dudes a stud. Till the skies get brighter for pistons basketball, at least we got a natty this year in cfb and the Lions and Wings are looking up!
My great grandfather, in 1939, was part of the very first Pistons basketball (and Men’s softball, look it up!) squad in Fort Wayne, Indiana at Fred Zollner’s auto parts factory. If only he were alive to see his team now… …it would kill him a second time.
@sportsgamer2342 never said I didn't cheer for the Pistons. I cheer for all Detroit sports teams. I just don't care for basketball as a whole, and it's hard to get invested when your team is just fucking awful.
I still vividly remember the 2004 Pistons winning the NBA Championship and crushing a loaded Lakers team in the process. Those days must seem eons away for Detroit fans now.
Funny how they picked darko over wade and let okur go though...total mistakes that cost them multiple titles...imagine having a wade billups hamilton ben sheed prince okur team from 2004 onwards after a title....they would literally win the east until 2011 at least every year...and win like 5 titles
And his Detroit Shock won the WNBA title the year prior (and two more in '06 and '08). And his Detroit Vipers won their minor league hockey title in 97.
You could honestly make a pretty long video about just Joe Dumar's last half decade as head of operations. Firing Flip Saunders after three straight ECF appearances, trading Chauncey Billups for washes up AI, refusing to move on from aging pieces until they had no trade value, the horrible drafts, and of course the Josh Smith and Ben Gordon contracts (being forced to trade a high first rounder to get off the latter deal). And he still somehow managed to get hired elsewhere after the fact.
He built that 04 Pistons team which gave him leeway . But he made some truly bad moves like drafting Darko and letting go of Ben Wallace and the trade of Chauncey.
The fact that this organization has not won a single playoff game since I was in MIDDLE SCHOOL shows me how far the Pistons have fallen. Funny and sad at the same time
@@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly Yeah they were playing the Celtics in the ECF. I was in the eighth grade during that time. Damn I feel old remembering when the Pistons were respectable
Hopefully they repeat that line in the Netflix adaptation. On the other hand, I'd like to see Tree roast the one NBA team that didn't last long: the Vancouver Grizzlies. Yeah, we did have a basketball team until they moved to Memphis.
@@agent45625The Vancouver years of the Grizzlies are an example of how not to run an expansion franchise from the start with inept people at the helm. Stu Jackson alone should never be forgiven for that Otis Thorpe trade, which cost Memphis a draft pick in 2003 that turned into Darko Milicic for Detroit, missing out on a generational player in the process.
@@JShaggy If that pick fell at the No.1 spot the Grizzlies would've kept it and may've had a chance at selecting LeBron James (if he declared himself for the draft).
this vid had that old school UT vibes like your earlier work: quick, straight to the point, and just flat out taking a dump on a terrible franchise. love it.
Okay, I've got one for you: before the Pistons you see today, the 2011 Charlotte Bobcats proudly claimed the worst winning percentage in NBA history. That team was coached by Paul Silas...kinda. He let his son Stephen Silas coach a few games, and it actually worked out pretty well. Now the Pistons are threatening that record. Their assistant coach? Stephen Silas.
The minute I realized that the game that would have been the record-breaking loss was against Toronto, I knew the streak was over. It was *exactly* the type of game that's become cliche for Toronto's sport teams to lose: a game where losing would be one of, if not *the* most humiliating loss of the year. I'm not a superstitious man, but I'd *swear* that city is cursed.
I was waiting for this one, Tree, you could have gone WAAAAAYYYY DEEPER then what you did. This franchise is going nowhere so long as Gores is here, it’s just pure unadulterated shit
I think at the time he made the video, the Pistons were the lol cow. As a Warriors fan, I just can't believe I'd see Jordan Poole regress this badly AND relish seeing Chris Paul in a Warriors jersey. The Kofie 2K simulation timeline bled into ours.
This is one of your best videos in recent memory. This feels like every era of UrinatingTree mixed together to form a masterpiece. The style, humor, format, it all works so well. This is tree at his absolute best
Interesting new video style. I feel like it will grow on me over time. I want to see what you do with your next few videos. That being said, you better do a classic LOLMets video. Traditions must be maintained. The standard is the standard. LOLMets is eternal.
The Detroit Pistons still has a fierce history of the past in defensive dominance, that is at least something..... Still why they abandoned there 1996-2005 logo SUCKS. That logo was awesome and the uniforms as well. The horse with flames for a mane and the PISTONS script across with flaming tailpipes. And the Pistons won the 2004 NBA Championship with this logo and 2005 finals (!)
During that long losing streak they had a 20+ point lead at the half against the Celtics at the Garden and lost in OT. That game the Pistons money line was +1600 to start the game.
The past 19 years or so as a Pistons fan have been *PAINFUL* , none more so than this season. I say 19 and not 20 because they came within a fraction of a game of repeating as NBA Champions for the second time ever before inexplicably falling apart to the Miami Heat. It started that day in 2005 and has been rapidly downhill ever since. *💔😢😭*
*from the back of the room* DO THE ROCKETS NEXT!!! Two losing seasons in 30 years and on pace for their fourth consecutive since Tillman Fertitta bought them.
I’ve been waiting years for this video. I messaged you on twitter asking for this. Talking about Stan van gundy and my hatred for Tom gores. I haven’t watched pistons basketball since they left the palace. You. Are a gentleman and a scholar
Odd seeing an NBA video here, but a team being (as of this post) 9-52 is a special occasion among special occasions. Also, shout outs to the Gunstar Heroes dice maze bumper jingle.
here i though Detroit was going to get the Mets treatment, the player rundown, Injury or Suck....but no, 2 players, a ? and the rest love the Ba Sing Se mention....and when Gores spoke, i though his eyes were crossed
Thank you tree for this. We need more people spreading the word about the horror that is Pistons basketball. Perhaps the more embarrassing the franchise is the more likely the NBA is to investigate tom gores negligence. A fan can dream can't he?
I was at the game of the streak being broken, I honestly didn't believe the Pistons won the game even after it ended. The sad part is, the team is so much better than their record.
And I thought the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos/Elks' home losing record was the talk of the sports world. This puts that streak to shame. 28 vs 22. I thought the "Ground Control to Major Tom" reference was good, but then you broke me with 'There is no war in Ba Sing Se".
Its weird seeing the Lions winning and the rest of the Detroit teams that have championship history in the past 50 years stumble in mideocraty. Red Wings just need that extra step, Tigers are skrewed cause of Biaz and management, then the Pistons....dear god evetything is on fire.
Craziest thing is that Wizards have a 15-loss streak right now. Piston’s record might broken in the same season they set it in.
On behalf of all of Michigan we would want them to beat it. Least we can’t already go deeper than we did
It’s still a loss for Michigan. The wizard’s “star player” is from the U of M. It all circles back
I find it funny too, Kyle Kuzma poked fun at their 28 game streak on X (Twitter) and he said “at this point just don’t be them😂” yet he is almost in that exact same position with his team. I guess the basketball gods did not treat him well…
Wizards could tie the 28 game losing streak and guess who they face after that? The Pistons
Roster-wise, the Wizards should have got more wins than the Pistons. But they don't care unless they'll move to Virginia.
The Red Wings, The Lions, The Tigers & Now the Pistons

The past 19 years or so as a Pistons fan have been *PAINFUL* , none more so than this season. I say 19 and not 20 because they came within a fraction of a game of repeating as NBA Champions for the second time ever before inexplicably falling apart to the Miami Heat. It started that day in 2005 and has been rapidly downhill ever since. *💔😢😭*
LMAO THEY ACTUALLY GOT THE 5TH PICK
Can’t wait for a Washington wizards video. Its been 44 years since they had a 50 win season 78-79
And they got fucked at the draft. 5th overall, and ATLANTA gets the first pick.
Tree, you're evolving. A live acting segment at the start??
wizards have entered the chat
at least the Wizards are actively TRYING to suck
@@RealTomahawk7 i mean at this point just “dont be that team”
And with that tree has done all four Detroit teams
I love the Sims outro music. Jerry Martin is awesome!
Rare NBA video from Tree. I appreciate it if Tree will do more NBA basketball content, even though Pittsburgh doesn’t have one.
*from the back of the room*
DO THE ROCKETS NEXT!!!
Two losing seasons in 30 years and on pace for their fourth consecutive since Tillman Fertitta bought them.
Watched the reaction from a loyal Pistons fan in Krispy Flakes and he seemed to agree as well.
I’ve been waiting years for this video. I messaged you on twitter asking for this. Talking about Stan van gundy and my hatred for Tom gores. I haven’t watched pistons basketball since they left the palace. You. Are a gentleman and a scholar
I love all UTree videos, but there’s just something special about when he shits on my hometown teams. *chef’s kiss*
Odd seeing an NBA video here, but a team being (as of this post) 9-52 is a special occasion among special occasions.
Also, shout outs to the Gunstar Heroes dice maze bumper jingle.
I enjoy when Tree uploads NBA content! How fitting it’s the Pistons.
The intro was peak cinema lol
Tree making NBA videos is like witnessing a blue moon, a rare commodity.
You know it’s a good day when Tree drops an NBA vid!!!!
here i though Detroit was going to get the Mets treatment, the player rundown, Injury or Suck....but no, 2 players, a ? and the rest
love the Ba Sing Se mention....and when Gores spoke, i though his eyes were crossed
Always a treat when tree makes an NBA video. 👍
Thank you tree for this. We need more people spreading the word about the horror that is Pistons basketball. Perhaps the more embarrassing the franchise is the more likely the NBA is to investigate tom gores negligence. A fan can dream can't he?
I was at the game of the streak being broken, I honestly didn't believe the Pistons won the game even after it ended. The sad part is, the team is so much better than their record.
And I thought the CFL's Edmonton Eskimos/Elks' home losing record was the talk of the sports world. This puts that streak to shame. 28 vs 22.
I thought the "Ground Control to Major Tom" reference was good, but then you broke me with 'There is no war in Ba Sing Se".
GAH! Tree you scared me with your face in the beginning!
I’m joking, good video keep it up
Its weird seeing the Lions winning and the rest of the Detroit teams that have championship history in the past 50 years stumble in mideocraty.
Red Wings just need that extra step, Tigers are skrewed cause of Biaz and management, then the Pistons....dear god evetything is on fire.
