Make it 5 Losses in a Row for the Detroit Pistons

The Pistons won their first four games in a row. People figured it must be a combination of having new Coach Dwayne Casey and a healthy Blake Griffin, whose play prompted fans to chant "MVP."

Since then, the Pistons have been looking like, well, the loser Pistons they've been for so many seasons now.

On Monday night, the Pistons lost to the Miami Heat at home by 120-115, the fifth straight defeat Detroit now is 4-5.

Different lineup, same result.

“It’s very difficult; guys played their hearts out. We knew this season we were going to have a lot of games like this,” Casey said., according to Rod Beard of The Detroit News. “Again, it seems trite, but we are right there."
