NextImg:Pistons fans loudly chant ‘sell the team’ as losing skid hits dismal 25 games

Things are not going well in Detroit, which might be the understatement of the year.

With a home matchup against the struggling Jazz on Thursday night, the Pistons eyed a chance to get back in the win column and end their ugly losing streak.

But things were again spiraling for the Pistons, who dropped their 25th straight game with a 119-111 to Utah at Little Caesars Arena.

The home fans were none too pleased as the team inched closer to reaching record NBA ignominy.

As the clock wound down toward the final minute of the fourth quarter, an audible and rather loud “Sell the team chant” broke out inside the arena as the fans seemed to have lost their patience with the club that is now 2-26.

Those chants — seemingly to be pointed at owner Tom Gores — continued with under a minute to go when Jazz big man Kelly Olynyk was at the free-throw line.

Pistons fans are fed up with the team.

That audible anger came after the home crowd also called for the team to fire general manager Troy Weaver and head coach Monty Williams, according to NBA journalist Duncan Smith.

A group of fans was even seen wearing paper bags with a sad face and the words “sell the team” written on the head garb.

Unsurprisingly, this is a team that came into the night ranked as the third-worst offense in the NBA (108.9 points per game) and the 25th-ranked defense by allowing 120.8 points per night.

The Pistons now sit one defeat away from tying the NBA single-season losing streak record, which is held by both the 2010-11 Cavaliers and 2013-14 76ers.

Philadelphia has the overall record at 28 games, which carried over from the 2014-15 season into 2015-16.
