Christmas is over, the new year is right around the corner, and the Detroit Pistons need to learn how to win again. It’s been ... awhile. Detroit has lost 9 of 11 and all of the goodwill it earned among a skeptical and/or disinterested fanbase seems to have been squandered. Sounds a lot like Detroit’s opponent tonight — the Washington Wizards. John Wall, Bradley Beal, Otto Porter (out) and Markieff Morris. Blake Griffin, Andre Drummond, Reggie Jackson and Stanley Johnson. A whole lot of talent, a whole lot of zeros on the paychecks and a whole lot of disappointment.
