It’s the holiday season, and fans of the Detroit Pistons aren’t in a very merry mood.
And can you blame them?
Tonight’s 114-93 loss to the Boston Celtics was just the latest in what’s been an incredibly trying and frustrating season that began with hopes of a second consecutive playoff appearance.
Tonight’s loss drops Detroit to a less-than-stellar 11-18 record and 10th place in an already questionable Eastern Conference.
Immediately afterwards, fans took to social media to vent.
@DetroitPistons as a fan I traveled to Boston tonight to see the game and this is the effort that you guys give? You’re going to tell me these guys are that much better than us, I don’t think so, have some pride in the uniform and stop stealing money!!!!

Detroit Pistons are an embarrassment to the game of basketball. I wanna stop watching them but my love for D Rose keeps bringing me back for more suffering…😔

I'm not watching another @DetroitPistons game. @drose is not starting and if he not starting on this losing team. Just trade him. 🤦♂️ ASAP.

no Marcus Smart, no Hayward, no Robert Williams, Kemba just didn't have it, and the Celtics are still cracking these Detroit Pistons by 20+…
Reggie Jackson and Blake Griffin, please, please let the Health Gods shine on them. This is so pathetic

Tom Gores and Martha Ford HAVE to be the worst duo of owners in sports.
