The Pistons have been terrible this season – so bad, in fact, they have a chance for the worst statistical season in team history. In honor of broken-down and beat-up a models everywhere, I present “Hooptie Watch” – periodic looks comparing the 2011-12 Pistons to other teams in franchise history that missed the playoffs.

There are two basic ways to measure a team’s regular-season level:

1. Win percentage

2. Pythagorean win percentage

To rank the Pistons’ non-playoff seasons, I’ll average of both win percentages, and for ease of use, set everything to an 82-game schedule.
