Pistons fans chant for Tom Gores to 'sell the team' as historic losing streak continues

If Tom Gores was in attendance at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday evening he would have heard the first smattering of "sell the team" chants from a disgusted and tired fan base.

The Detroit Pistons owner has been absent since the start of the season and it's questionable whether or not he knows his team is playing, let alone playing poorly. That's a charitable way to put it, though, since Detroit's latest loss, a 129-111 drubbing at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers, set a record for the longest losing streak in franchise history.

After starting the season 2-1, the Pistons are now 2-22. They've lost 21 straight, and unfortunately, the end doesn't appear to be anywhere in sight. 

After going winless in November, the Pistons are 0-5 in December. With a schedule that features Philadelphia (again), the Milwaukee Bucks, Atlanta Hawks, Utah Jazz, Brooklyn Nets (twice), Boston Celtics and Toronto Raptors, there's a strong chance the team doesn't win another game in 2024.

Read that again. There's a real chance that Detroit goes winless in November and December.
