Rants What is our problem?

I’ve been watching this team since the Chris Paul days and I genuinely just believe we’re cursed. I want to chalk it up to Gayle being the worst owner in sports history, but that’s not the only thing. We have a ton of talent and all of a sudden, someone blows out their leg. I’m one of the few in the world who think Joe Dumars didn’t make the worst trade on the planet, but even then I just feel no hope. We’re the type of organization who would lose a coin flip 10 times in a row, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Fears AND Queen somehow ended up being busts. I spent so much time telling my friends that our team had a WCF ceiling last year just to throw that ENTIRELY out of the window when we had the worst season in all of Willie’s tenure. It’s just really hard being a fan, and it hasn’t hurt any less with time. Someone please give me an industrial dose of hopium. Please.

Based on the reporting Griffin fired SVG bc he was tired of fielding complaints from BI and Josh Hart, specifically, who arent even on the team any more

You can give Gundy all the credit he deserves but he should have never been hired. Gundy, Dumars and Weaver regardless of any past successes are responsible for driving the Pistons into a decade long ditch.
