B/R AM: The Pistons Are Cursed
The NBA draft lottery was yesterday.
It turned into a Pistons troll-fest.
Despite the NBA's worst record and a 28-game losing streak, the Pistons wound up with the fifth pick ... again. (Full order here.)
- That's now three years in a row Detroit's had the best odds to get No. 1, only to end up with No. 5
- So, a 54-192 record over three years without Wemby, Paolo Banchero or a top 4 pick to show for it
Cursed.
Other lottery notables:
- The Spurs grabbed Nos. 8 and 4
- The Rockets, via the Nets pick from the James Harden trade, jumped up to No. 3
- The Hawks won the lottery despite a 3% chance
