The Detroit Pistons had a disappointing 2016-17 season, particularly late in the campaign as they melted down after the All-Star break. There may have been no more indicative issue last season than the troubles they had on the second game of back-to-backs, hereafter referred to as SEGABABA.
The Pistons had just three wins in 17 SEGABABA scenarios and had the worst net rating in the NBA in those games by almost two points, being outscored by a stunning 9.8 points per 100 possessions. For context, the worst overall net rating in the league last season belonged to the Los Angeles Lakers, who were outscored by 7.
