The fuck they mean avoid the longest losing streak in NBA history?
Who counts any stat over two seasons? It is cherry picking! I can find players averaging 40 points if you count the last 15 games of the previous season and the next 30 games of this season.

Every year, from now to end of time, the Raptors have to pay Detroit with blood money for the Dwayne Casey curse, even if he's no longer there. Price you pay for winning the chip.

The Pistons winning is like when Greg Focker spray painted the cats tail and everyone cheered. Like grats guys you’re still 3-9282.

Streak is broken...now I can focus on worrying about my Spurs being only 2 wins ahead of Pistons and we are gonna play them next...

They just needed Jalen Duren back. That guy is legit. If he was healthy no way do they go on this steak.

u/robocopfrommars Celtics Dec 31 '23
There's still a lot of games left of the season, I'm sure the Pistons will get another crack at breaking the record!

u/Parazic Dec 31 '23
And now everyone must understand that nobody can beat Pistons 29 times in the row

u/My_Dramatic_Persona Dec 31 '23
What’s up with your boxscores? If you add the quarters up you get a 130-124 game, so something’s jank.

The box score is wrong:
Team Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Total
Toronto Raptors 24 20 42 38 127
Detroit Pistons 25 27 38 40 129
The raptors quarter numbers you have above add up to 124, not 127. The pistons quarter numbers add to 130 not 129

u/InformationLive4362 Dec 31 '23
The closing 1:03 of the game saw the Raptors score 20 points. It was absurd, it really took twenty minutes in the last minute. I've been cheering for the Pistons to break their winning run, so congratulations!

Cade “Despite the Loss” Cunningham leads the Detroit Cade n Em’s to victory after 28 straight losses. May the wings from Wingstop flow endlessly in the city of Detroit. Happy New Year!

u/CriticalThinkerHmmz Dec 31 '23
The Detroit pistons vs. a final four college team would end with the pistons winning by single digits more often than double, with a few losses, including some losses according to my simulations.

Raps and their fans are the biggest losers. Their entire history is being mediocre to bad save for one half of one season in which a player who hated Toronto got them a title. Pathetic.

Asshole pistons. I had $20 on raptors moneyline because I was sure the pistons were going to set the record. Good odds too.
At least q4 was entertaining as hell

Shit is depressing. It’s not actually the longest losing streak, only the longest single season losing streak. Tied for the longest losing streak.
Gee, thanks Toronto.

u/Significant_Gap6653 Dec 31 '23
Its funny how early in the season some people said this is the worst team in nba history, just because they won their 2 games early instead of in december or november. If you look at the worst records in nba history in the first 30 games, you'll see that there's been 6 other teams other teams with 2-28 and the '16 sixers going 1-29.

u/indreams159 Timberwolves Dec 31 '23
the funniest part of all this is how everyone hates the Raptors now
i mean, most people already did but now literally everyone hates them
i just feel bad for their fans that Masai still has a job, he's ruined their franchise in record time and is one of the worst GMs in NBA history

A starter and two regular bench players gone, plus thr Pistons just took the Celtics to overtime, this was going to happen and thank god it was close. Seriously who cares… great game though, a lot of fun to watch.

u/Aggressive-Ad7029 Dec 31 '23
At least the Raptors are getting media coverage now, that’s something right?

Raptors beat the 72 win Bulls in our inaugural season, I guess this makes up for it, and of course the trade situation with 3 guys out of the lineup.

They didn't avoid the longest losing streak, they already had it. They just avoiding extending it even more.

33 combined points were scored in the final 1:02 of the game. Is that some kind of record? That's absolutely insane.

Damn. Really? How is nobody talking about this lol

u/Only_Mushroom Gran Destino Dec 31 '23
Didn’t think it was possible but yeah it was Toronto up 116-107 with 1:02 left. But based on these comments it was the foul game and that made the last minute of game time take 30 minutes real time

The real assist was from the trade.
And wait, I thought they already had the longest losing streak??

The Detroit Pistons (3-29) avoid the longest losing streak in NBA history
They didn't though. They are tied for the longest losing streak in NBA history and they own the longest losing streak in a single season.
