“NBA Gonna Call Off Expansion”: Pistons Disgust Fans as Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co Hand 23rd Straight Loss

Following a long struggle, the San Antonio Spurs ended their 19-game losing streak defeating the mighty Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. The following night, the Detroit Pistons also had the opportunity to end their 22-game losing streak against the flaming-hot Milwaukee Bucks. However, it didn’t turn out in their favor. Giannis Antetokounmpo & co, in turn, produced a blow-out 146-114 victory on Saturday. Meanwhile, it triggered an adverse reaction from fans.

The last few seasons for the Pistons haven’t been the greatest, leading to the franchise’s worst record. The team has lost 78 games in their last 80 outings. And if this proceeds, the team is heading towards an infamous NBA record. While the team’s loss only affected its fans and management, now the rest of the NBA world has joined in, as they feel it could affect the league’s expansion.

Fans fume as Giannis Antetokounmpo & co. destroy the Pistons

Giannis Antetokounmpo stepped on the court for the Saturday night game after his career-high score game against the Indiana Pacers. However, in tonight’s game, it wasn’t the Greek Freak who exploded but Damian Lillard. He dropped 33 points. Meanwhile, Giannis had a quiet night, compared to his standards. He dropped 22 points with 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

On the other hand, the Pistons didn’t have any chance of out-scoring the flaming-hot Bucks. They ended up losing the game right from the tip-off as the Bucks generated a 23-point lead in the first quarter, dropping 43 points. And it eventually paved the way for the 23rd straight loss. Importantly, the loss affected the rest of the NBA world as much as the Pistons’ fans.

In the past few seasons, conversations about the expansion of NBA teams have always been in the air. Debates around the preferred city have also come into the picture. But following the Pistons’ worrisome losing streak, the NBA world is skeptical about the expansion and they let out their frustration via social media.

One user said, “The Detroit Pistons are so bad, the NBA is going to call off expansion talks.” Here are some reactions from fans.

While some fans were worried that the Pistons’ record would disrupt the expansion, one fan feared that the league would remove the existing teams for their slump performance.

While the doubts about the expansion in on the surface level, the important question is, will it reach the decision-makers?
