In-game fan misery, every 15 minutes.
What happened
Detroit went 2-1 and climbed to 5-1, and the fanbase somehow got twice as miserable. The turning point came in New York, a 97-111 loss where the Pistons "shot 24% from 3." Wins of 97-89 over Charlotte and 110-94 in Brooklyn calmed no one. Ron Holland absorbed most of the fire, branded "the worst offensive player I've ever seen," while the top verdict insisted this "is not going to work against high-level teams in the playoffs." Five wins in six games, and Detroit is already grieving May.
