Detroit Pistons: Crying? Ha! 3 takeaways from the loss to Sacramento
The Detroit Pistons lost a weird one to the Sacramento Kings in a battle of two teams jostling for lottery position.
The Pistons employed some strange tactics down the stretch, missing multiple free throws on purpose before they really needed to and giving away a strange game in which they were down 17 in the first quarter and up eight in the 4th quarter.

Let’s face it this was a good loss for the Detroit Pistons, who have an easy second-half schedule that could threaten all the hard work they’ve put in on their tank.
Both of these teams are bad, but only one of them seems to realize it, as the Sacramento Kings’ social media account had some interesting things to say after the game.
Normally, I wouldn’t respond to obvious trolling but given it came from literally the worst franchise in the NBA, I had to respond.
Here are three takeaways from a beautiful tank loss to the awful Kings.
Detroit Pistons: The Pistons are rebuilding, the Kings are just plain awful
After finally ending their nine game losing streak, the Kings had this to say on Twitter (I’ll include my response):
One team is rebuilding and trying to lose, the other had delusions about the playoffs and is losing because they plain stink. Which one do you think you are? https://t.co/DxCOICdElJ

I have to wonder if the Kings’ social media manager just started last night and thinks these two teams are headed to the playoffs. On one hand, I appreciate a team this bad talking trash and actually laughed when I saw it. On the other, it’s the KINGS! If the Pistons did this I’d be ashamed given the recent history of these two franchises.
Crying? Nope. Pistons’ fans are smart enough to know that their team is rebuilding and would love to add a player like Cade Cunningham, while apparently the Kings think beating the last place team in the East to end your nine-game losing streak gives them the right to talk greasy on Twitter.
Have fun with that.
The Kings are in the worst possible place to be in the NBA, which is tanking but doing it on accident, headed for a middling pick and another decade or two of being terrible.
I guess when you haven’t made the playoffs in 14 years and haven’t made the Finals since 1950 you have to celebrate literally anything.
Crying? Nope, we’re cringing for you, Kings.
