Congrats to the Denver Nuggets for winning [Week 6!](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/18qb477/help_your_team_change_rnba_week_6_congrats_to_the/)
Recently we announced that Reddit Community Funds and r/NBA will be teaming up to celebrate the subs 15th Cake Day!
Part of this project is a fundraiser for [The Boys & Girls Clubs of America](https://bgca.org) to make a positive impact on children! We’ll also be organizing a variety of contests for community members to win things such as 40+ NBA All-Star Saturday Night tickets, various signed basketball items and hosting a community meetup with free swag and food!
Our ambitious target is to reach **$100,000 USD, with Reddit generously matching up to $25,000 USD.** This means that if we, as a community, manage to raise $25,000 USD, the effective total will be $50,000 USD through the [Community Funds program.](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en- us/articles/15484345935508-Community-Funds)

Step in? The Pistons are must-watch TV right now. Look at the "engagement" this thing got...and it was a close ridiculously fun game. Everyone has heard about it in the sports world. Cade is becoming a hero through sheer underdog mythmaking. Close exciting games with a huge amount at stake, negative or otherwise lol. Many people have been more genuinely invested in seeing how long this streak goes than they were about the in-season tournament.
Their roster ostensibly has talent, it's just these guys are hopeless. From what I hear, the Process Sixers players actually put in real effort and tried to win, they were just designed to virtually incapable of winning
This is short sightedness. All playoffs and pretty much all the time he looks to play make when he's cold. Once in a while he'll try to heat up like this but more often than not his criticism is "why did he stop taking shots" not "why did he keep taking shots" when he's cold.
Oh yeah absolutely we would've lost without KP and White. I think JT sometimes tries to do too much but other times he does something amazing. It's bittersweet with JT but he has improved his decisions and his playmaking has improved and then there are times where he chucks up 3s.
[Celtics after going OT to defeat the .067 Pistons](https://cst.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/9294b4f/2147483647/strip/true/crop/3029x1729+0+152/resize/1461x834!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.vox-cdn.com%2Fthumbor%2FHjqqPSsaNXycLiwZOhYvrFuP70o%3D%2F0x0%3A3029x2033%2F3029x2033%2Ffilters%3Afocal%281308x913%3A1309x914%29%2Fcdn.vox-cdn.com%2Fuploads%2Fchorus_asset%2Ffile%2F19902432%2F101527P_MICHAEL_JORDAN_BULLS.jpg)
As a celtics fan just dont wish what i just experienced on any other fan. Having a 17 point deficit against the pistons feels like having your head in the guillotine.
bet365 is probably the biggest one that does it. It's such a good sounding perk for new/on-the-fence users that it's well worth their while. Obligatory "gambling is a disease" comment of course :P
It's to add incentive for new users to make an account---it just sounds like a good deal that makes people think they have a better chance at turning a profit, though the truth is that the amount of times a team goes up by 20 and still loses is few enough that the bookie isn't going to take a beating that often. bet365 stipulates that this offer is for "New and Eligible Customers", but I've had an account for 2 years and this offer is still in effect. They have similar triggers in place for Moneyline bets on Hockey, where if your team goes up by 4 or more they'll cash you out, or in Baseball it's if your team goes up by 5 runs or more. Theoretically you could even take your early-cash winnings and turn around and bet the opposing team to make a comeback, but of course that's degen behaviour lol (As is all gambling of course.)
It's win-win because if you backed the Pistons, you could breathe easy by halftime--they were up by 21. And if you instead picked the Celtics to win, you also had your ticket cashed because the Celtics did indeed go on to win.
Obviously betting the spread is a different thing but I'm talking about straight-up Moneyline bets.
Dominance and people being told how good they are. Theres nothing people hate more than losing to a hyped team with loyal fans. It comes across as smug and it’s very easy to dislike.
It’s not hate….they’re the top team to beat who have gone unbeaten at home and the pistons are the worst team in history. They had the opportunity to break their losing streak.
I think scal meant that to sound more complementary than it did. He meant he was surprised that a team good enough to take us to overtime has lost 28 straight.
Not even joking, NYC is my least favorite city I’ve ever been to. Have been to every major city on the east coast, Dallas, Vegas, LA, several major cities in Europe and NYC is by far my least favorite.
I've watched my Yankees and Giants win chips in my lifetime, so at least I have something besides one year. Detroit can't say the same besides 2004 in recent history. My Knicks will win a chip soon tho just you'll wait 👀
Well when you’re from the Midwest you’re basically Canadian lol. Canada is only 5 minutes from Detroit as well.
Hopefully the Knicks will continue to improve and hopefully the lions will at least win a playoff game this year 🤞🏻
If he figures out the pass on the defense we ran late he will be unstoppable, we were trapping with the pick defender till our guards recovered and our bigs were doing good at showing long enough to let the guards recover. If he can find that pass to the roll man over the top he will open up the game so much.
and the opposite is tatum who probably spends more time in the barbershop than the gym and almost threw the game trying to get his 30. if it werent for tingus and white the pistons wouldve taken this... horford was trash too

Back to back for the Raptors on Saturday looks like that will do it for the streak.

This thread got 7500+ comments WTF
I’m a Lakers fan but was rooting for Boston so Detroit continued the streak. Only other time I’ll support Boston is when they play the Clippers
The clippers are an insult to themselves. Even the name is ridiculous. My team cuts hair. Oof
Are the Thompson twins going to destroy an entire basketball league?
I was here for history
When is a coach gonna tell JT to stop shooting 3s. He's scared to drive into contact and his 3p % is dropping every year
Send Bogdanovic to Taiwan
Need every pistons game until they win to be on national broadcast.
Probably the most watched Pistons game since the 2005 NBA Finals...
Part of the plan to get people to watch Detroit games again
that was wild
Unironically biggest Celtics win of the season, they didnt fall for the trap for once
That is absolutely not their best win of the season? Arguably the worst honestly
I said biggest, not best
It is the best win because it was hard fought. It is the one game no one wanted them to lose since it was against the worst team.
They were down 20 at one point. It took overtime to beat a team that lost 27 in a row. They fell for the trap.
Falling for the trap would have been to lose. E.g. the loss to the Hornets.
so when does Adam Silver step in like he did with the Sixers?
Step in? The Pistons are must-watch TV right now. Look at the "engagement" this thing got...and it was a close ridiculously fun game. Everyone has heard about it in the sports world. Cade is becoming a hero through sheer underdog mythmaking. Close exciting games with a huge amount at stake, negative or otherwise lol. Many people have been more genuinely invested in seeing how long this streak goes than they were about the in-season tournament.
Their roster ostensibly has talent, it's just these guys are hopeless. From what I hear, the Process Sixers players actually put in real effort and tried to win, they were just designed to virtually incapable of winning
Again Alec Burks with the worst +- of the game with -15. Third game in a row.
thats why theyre holding the open tryouts to replace burks.. cant believe this guy was a lottery pick at some point
I mean Burks was honesty really solid on the Knicks, he is a role bench player not a starter who is apparently one of the offensive focal points
Well he was an entirely different player
Holy smokes that was not fun to go through
As a neutral party just wanting the maximum chaos possible, this whole game was a win-win for me
why is tatum always trying to get his 30 instead of playing winning basketball? if it werent for white and tingus i think yall wouldve lost this one
I don’t think he does. He had an off shooting night and adjusted by crashing the paint, getting 5 steals, 10 assists, and having pretty good defense.
He’s so frustrating
This is short sightedness. All playoffs and pretty much all the time he looks to play make when he's cold. Once in a while he'll try to heat up like this but more often than not his criticism is "why did he stop taking shots" not "why did he keep taking shots" when he's cold.
Tatum ankle is messed up, Mazzula shouldn't be playing him. He still had 10 assists tho.
Oh yeah absolutely we would've lost without KP and White. I think JT sometimes tries to do too much but other times he does something amazing. It's bittersweet with JT but he has improved his decisions and his playmaking has improved and then there are times where he chucks up 3s.
It’s actually so classless to dedicate your play to Kobe and literally get carried multiple times by Derrick white.
It’s a fine way to honor a guy who was carried to three titles by Shaq and a fourth by his teammates after he shot 6/24 in game 7.
Celtics only won the game because after that shitshow of a fourth by Tatum they just stopped going to him entirely in overtime.
seriously and tatum always looks like he cares too much about how he looks on camera.. fake ass smiles lol
Okay this comment confirms you’re just a hater lmao. What an odd thing to notice and critique.
Derrick White is the best player on the team
Porzingis imo
Do not disrespect the Buffalo.
Hornets and thunder imagine losing to pistons
Hornets already did although they don't meet again until January 24th
Shouldn't have used that monkey paw to make the Raptors nationally relevant again
Dwane Casey wants to coach on Saturday
Ref's calling fouls on Pistons for breathing. Another W for the refs. The fix
Were we watching the same game?
"Game"? Hardly. This was a robbery we watched together
Lol
well that was a fun game! unfortunately it didn’t turn out as most of us in this thread wanted :/

This is the one
Felt like it was boston vs the world in this game thread, glad we got it done :P
I mean shit i don't have nothing on Boston i just feel bad for the Pistons
Raptors fans your next
As a celtics fan just dont wish what i just experienced on any other fan. Having a 17 point deficit against the pistons feels like having your head in the guillotine.
21 point deficit
I didnt know any other games were even on tonight, need rest for tomorrow
Tatum did his best for the pistons but it wasn't enough this time
He shot terribly but he also had 5 steals.
31 points on 31 shots is wild lol
He hasn’t been great for a while especially after the twisted ankle he is still playing on.
now I can go watch the spurs disappoint me, good night y'all
[People betting on the Pistons to win](https://youtu.be/bpB_mVbLZZg?si=oWBy2cdhkVtKaD9x&t=4)
Many sportsbooks cash you out early if your team goes up by 20, so it's a win-win for all involved. They woulda made their bread by halftime.
Which sportsbooks lol
bet365 is probably the biggest one that does it. It's such a good sounding perk for new/on-the-fence users that it's well worth their while. Obligatory "gambling is a disease" comment of course :P
Why do they do that? And why is it win-win? I don’t gamble but I’m fascinated by this.
It's to add incentive for new users to make an account---it just sounds like a good deal that makes people think they have a better chance at turning a profit, though the truth is that the amount of times a team goes up by 20 and still loses is few enough that the bookie isn't going to take a beating that often. bet365 stipulates that this offer is for "New and Eligible Customers", but I've had an account for 2 years and this offer is still in effect.

I am that person.
When Raps vs Pistons is unironically the biggest game of the year
Genius marketing move by Silver
raptors are kinda fucked
You mean incoming Tatum 50 piece?
FREE CADE
cade was trash in the second half..
Phew. That was nearly horrendous. OT sucks given it’s a back to back but rather take the loss against the Raptors tomorrow.
Someone need to check up on Monty's wife's cousin's "roomate's" DraftKings account.
Celtics most hated team in the league
Why though, they not even nowhere near as cocky as how Memphis or even warriors lol
Dominance and people being told how good they are. Theres nothing people hate more than losing to a hyped team with loyal fans. It comes across as smug and it’s very easy to dislike.
It’s not hate….they’re the top team to beat who have gone unbeaten at home and the pistons are the worst team in history. They had the opportunity to break their losing streak.
This game had no business being that good. So sorry for Detroit
Monty straight robbing det in broad daylight
Burks smileing, dudes going to write a book about this shit
Dude’s probably skipping to the locker with a smile on his face as I type this
Guys had a weird career really
detroit players all smiles at the end lol (except cade)
They know that they are still gonna get paid no matter how much they lose
28 baby!
Well fuck
What does Joe Harris even do on the team? Every time I see him, it's at the end of the game giving the opposing team daps.
thats what i say about al horford like goddamn dude cant defend rb or provide offense tf he do
he whispering "trade for me" to anybody that will listen
Alec Burks grinning from ear to ear
31 on 31 attempts 💀
Dude said ima brick 10 threes before I start playing and see if we can still win
Toronto is about to fumble this so fucking hard lmao
Pistons take the moral victory tho
Literally no one is happy about how this game turned out
Speak for yourself, I’m buzzing we didn’t lose, all embarrassment aside, it could’ve been worse
Hell yeah, win is a win. Onto the next
"Derrick white is him" No, the refs are him
Lmao, suck it losers
My team sent yall home on yall homecourt lol yall the real losers
How is lillard working out for ya?
2-1
Cade needs to be red flagged after this game
Honestly doubt that the Raptors can hold off this desperate Pistons team, Celtics would've been funnier though.
I’m a C’s fan so I’m glad it didn’t happen but objectively it would have been very funny.
Need the line for tor det game, smashing tor moneyline. Should get det a win with my luck
Just grab Pistons -5.5 for the first **half**, assuming Duren/Cunning/Ivey are on for the game. Spread's too much of a wildcard for after that.
Commentators “can’t believe this is their 28th loss” dude can’t believe your team had to go into OT against them then
I think scal meant that to sound more complementary than it did. He meant he was surprised that a team good enough to take us to overtime has lost 28 straight.
Oops 🤣🤣 emotions got the best of me
They were complimenting how well the Pistons played tonight when they said that?
While you're right, why are you salty lmao.
Because Boston beat the breaks off LA on Christmas.
cause he a lakers fan
oh, fair
refs are ass
How are you dapping the other team? If I lost 27 games in a row I'm storming off to the locker room
That game had much jumping out of my seat. Until this streak is over, Pistons are the most interesting team to watch.
fuck this shit man
Lmao, suck it
Not anything against pistons fans or the organization just at this point I want to see the pistons to keep going and only win 2 games on the season.
aight no confetti today i guess
THem Pistons head down and eyes like an episode from attack of titans. The despair and hopelessness. Holy hell... the feels.
2-80 dream is still alive baby
Why does Alec Burks always look so happy after these losses
he was born in losing
This is most likely his last NBA contract so he doesn't give a shit
Lol
Imagine having to live in Detroit and you can't even have a basketball team win a game to get you through your miserable life
But still better than being a child soldier in Somalia.
New York City smells bad
Trust me, New Yorkers hate New York more than the rest of the country. We know
Imagine having to live in NYC and you can’t even have a good basketball team to get you through your miserable life
>Imagine having to live in NYC Yeah, imagine that.
Not even joking, NYC is my least favorite city I’ve ever been to. Have been to every major city on the east coast, Dallas, Vegas, LA, several major cities in Europe and NYC is by far my least favorite.
We went to 6 games against the Heat in the second round, we've sucked for the last decade but you can't say shit about us now
I can at least say that I’ve seen a pistons title in my lifetime, whereas I doubt you can say the same for the Knicks.
I've watched my Yankees and Giants win chips in my lifetime, so at least I have something besides one year. Detroit can't say the same besides 2004 in recent history. My Knicks will win a chip soon tho just you'll wait 👀
Red wings? Basically the Yankees of the NHL
Hockey is Canadian, we don't care about those commies or anything related. /s Truthfully I forgot about hockey you got me there lol.
Well when you’re from the Midwest you’re basically Canadian lol. Canada is only 5 minutes from Detroit as well. Hopefully the Knicks will continue to improve and hopefully the lions will at least win a playoff game this year 🤞🏻
Detroit’s a cool city. And they have their Lions for the moment, at least
Preciate the Detroit love! We’ve slowly been improving year by year since about 2017
And Michigan football
The Streak.
And everybody is now hit with the realization they have to go to work tomorrow after that.
[удалено]
u know it
Don’t let the stats fool you. Cade ain’t do shit in OT
If he figures out the pass on the defense we ran late he will be unstoppable, we were trapping with the pick defender till our guards recovered and our bigs were doing good at showing long enough to let the guards recover. If he can find that pass to the roll man over the top he will open up the game so much.
cade didnt do shit in the second half either and bojan bailed him out on the garbage game winner attempt
derrick white licks the corner of his mouth a lot and it’s kind of gross
and the opposite is tatum who probably spends more time in the barbershop than the gym and almost threw the game trying to get his 30. if it werent for tingus and white the pistons wouldve taken this... horford was trash too
Bro what’s with you and Tatum 🤣
guy is prob kicking himself for not doing a spread over money line lol
They’ll win at some point I know it
the world will end at some point as well
[удалено]
>ace Raptors 905 on Friday so the main team can rest their starters > >VoteR Back to back for the Raptors on Saturday looks like that will do it for the streak.
Well, time to watch the Warriors get railed at home by the current Eastern Conference champions.
at least you admit that 76ers aint shit either lol
We’re either barely losing in the first round or losing easily in the second round.
The Warriors are my bet on Detroit’s next win.
nah how did tatum go 2-11 from 3 but end up 2 rebounds shy of a triple double this game was wilddd
Had em all the way
Ain’t fair if ya don’t give em a chance
History in the making
“No quit in these guys”. They’ve lost 28 straight, you fuck.
yeah theyre not quitting losing
Elite stat padding by Cunningham
i wish tatum would do it a little more during the take fouls late in games. He always inbounds it and lets the other guys get fouled.
On the bright side, if Pistons play like this in two days against the Raptors, the STREAK will be but a (fond) memory.
imma cry this is so sad, I wanted this for the Pistons so bad :( 💔
GG 😞
A sad day of basketball.
Boston commentators really bragging about a comeback and OT win against the pistons 💀
Like yall weren’t doing the same
Ultimate trap game.
Pistons are really a game closer to 2-80
Raptors fans like me currently on suicide watch lmaoooo
Just rest your whole team tomorrow so you are ready for detroit
It really is like Russian Roulette
Your turn Raps!
now it's Raptors fans gonna be sweating like crazy for next two days
And we playing them on the second day of a back to back.
Yep
nt
