The situation is grim for the Pistons as they enter week 11 having lost six of their past seven games and only a win over the Washington Wizards to show for their efforts.
Timing, as they say, is everything – and with the Pistons
Detroit began a Western Conference road trip to finish out week 10 and it continues into week 11 with four more foes on the opposite coast prior to returning to Cleveland to close out their longest road trip of the season.
The thumping Detroit put on the Wizards got eviscerated by a similar thumping they had leveled on them in San Antonio. Even their ninth-ranked offense is deceiving as teams score once games are out of reach. As of this writing, the last eight losses served up an average score of 120.6 points.
