Much to the horror of Greg Monroe
The Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder haven’t fared too well this season, but for the Pistons, this may be the story of their still young 2014-2015 season. The Thunder, who were without two of the NBA’s Top 10 players for the first 18-or-so games of the season are now beginning to perchlorate, and have won 4 of their last 5. The Pistons, meanwhile, are losers of 12 straight if you count last night, and people are beginning to look at Stan Van Gundy, who has enjoyed a fair amount of success in his coaching career, a little funny.
Russell Westbrook only added to the Pistons’ despair last night, throwing down two monstrous dunks, the latter of which could be on the short-list for one of the best of the year. Westbrook casually brought the ball up the court, and at one point, appeared to be surrounded by four different Pistons looking to make a play. Well, that didn’t matter, because two seconds later, Westbrook was flying through the paint to the rim, and all Josh Smith could do was watch.
