The Detroit Pistons were embarrassed at home by a shorthanded Milwaukee Bucks team, and once again their offense is to blame.
The Pistons have the worst offense in the NBA this season, scoring the fewest points per game with the lowest field goal and 3-point percentage in the league.
The Pistons’ are off to a historically cold shooting start as a team, and to be honest, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team shoot this poorly to start a season. Even with the excuses of new teammates and young players, it has been ugly and there is no way to sugarcoat it.
I thought the offense would tick up when Cade Cunningham returned, but he is clearly still coming back from his injury and isn’t 100 percent. It was evident last night, as he was rushing everything and looked really frustrated at times.
I don’t think anyone thought this team was a title contender, or even a playoff contender, but it is disappointing to see them take a step back offensively, especially when they were awful last year too.
The good news is that it is still very early and the Detroit Pistons have only played two games with their full roster. The bad news is this offense is so bad that it’s going to take a monumental turnaround for them to even be average.
The question is who is to blame. If you did a lap around Pistons’ Twitter you’d find two camps, those who blame the players and those who blame the offensive strategy of Dwane Casey.
Congratulations! You’re both right.
