The Pistons with their loss against the Celtics conceded their 29th loss this season and have lost 28 straight games, an NBA all-time record. Under the guidance of head coach Monty Williams and star rookie Cade Cunningham, the team have been nothing but castaways to the entirety of the league.
Young star Kyle Kuzma from the the Washington Wizards took to social media platform X, to share his thoughts on the fixture between the Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons. The player’s comment on the game did not age well for him as NBA fanatics were quick to clock the irony of the Wizards’ player’s statement.
Kyle Kuzma shares candid thoughts on Celtics vs Pistons game
Kyle Kuzma, a smart businessman and a very socially interactive player, got caught in a social media roasting session as he shared his candid thoughts regarding a scoreline during the game between the Boston Celtics and the Detroit Pistons.
While the Pistons were absolutely desperate to gain their first victory in over 28 games, Kuzma referred to the fact that the Boston Celtics would not want to be the team that the Pistons get their victory against.
Addressing the score which read 66-47 at the end of the 2nd quarter, Kuzma chipped in saying, “At this point its like “don’t be that team””. The comment by the player, however, did not sit right with the NBA Twitter community who reminded the player that the Wizards weren’t doing too well themselves.
Eventually, as the star suggested, the Celtics ended up gaining a gritty victory over the valiant Pistons in a game that went to the final seconds of regulation time. However, the young Pistons couldn’t keep up with the flourishing prowess of Jayson Tatum and Co. in overtime.
The Washington Wizards, led by young stars Kyle Kuzma and former Warriors player Jordan Poole, have had a brutal season which is going completely under the radar because of the Detroit Pistons. Sitting just above the Pistons in seeding, the Wizards have a win-loss record of 5-25 and are on a three-game losing streak themselves.
Considering their performances this season, the comments from the Wizards’ star seemed a bit too hypocritical which the NBA community did not fail to highlight in their repartees to Kuzma.
Fans slam Kyle Kuzma and Wizards
Kyle Kuzma’s ironic statement on the Celtics-Pistons clash did not go well with the NBA Community as they wasted no time in getting back at the Wizards and former Lakers star.
A user wrote, “the Wizards only have 3 more wins than the Pistons, stop trolling” referring to the Wizards 5-25 record this season which places them just above the Pistons in the Western Conference.
Another netizen called Kyle Kuzma and the Wizards the second biggest losers in the league, specifically saying, “Said the second best loser.”
The Wizards under the duo of Kyle Kuzma and Jordan Poole have been unable to connect the dots yet in order to carry the franchise to winning ways. Another user brutally suggested that since the star was playing for the Wizards, his status as an NBA player is non existential.
The Washington Wizards will hope to get back to winning ways tomorrow against the Brooklyn Nets led by Mikal Bridges and Cam Thomas as they try to get things right to put them in a competing position for the NBA Playoffs later next year.
