When Will The Pistons Win Another Basketball Game?

The Detroit Pistons have been one of the least-successful franchises in the NBA in recent memory, having won more than 40 games just twice in the past 15 seasons.

After that, they will play two straight against the 76ers who are currently 13-7, followed by a game against the 2nd place Bucks.
