The Pistons went colder than the mother-in-law down the stretch in a terrible showing in Brooklyn.
For the first time this season, the Pistons are below .500. Let me reiterate. We are 17 games into the season and we are just now falling below the Mendoza line of Eastern playoff contention. Last season, it took us 48 minutes into the season to fall below .500 and we never even got close to recovering. That being said, this does not excuse the abysmal display offered up for our viewing displeasure on Sunday evening.
For the first time in my life, I saw the Pistons live in a game that meant something, as part of a holiday to New York over Thanksgiving break.
