Detroit Pistons: Learning how to lose with Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose

At the end of the Detroit Pistons most recent “competitive” loss, announcer Greg Kelser said something about the young Pistons “learning how to win.”

Huh?

It looked to me like they were learning how to lose considering all of the young guys were on the bench watching Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose, who were a combined -29 in their 68 minutes of play.

The rookies got to watch as the veterans blew a 14-point 4th quarter lead to a terrible Hawks team when they suddenly couldn’t score.
