The Detroit Pistons' woes deepened as they suffered their 25th straight loss against the Utah Jazz, and young star Cade Cunningham's frustration reached a boiling point. His bizarre post-game comments went viral, prompting former players and teammates to voice their own opinions on the team's plight.

Cunningham appeared frustrated despite a stellar individual performance with 28 points, 10 assists and six rebounds. He cryptically stated, "Our record isn't bad, it's not 2 wins and 26 losses. You know what I mean? We can't be that bad." The comments resonated with fans who were desperate for signs of optimism.

The video of Cunningham's comments quickly became the center of media attention, and the Bleacher Report article sparked a huge response. Former Pistons player Nerlens Noel, a teammate of Cunningham's for 28 games, weighed in with the heavy-handed comment: "A great group of players - the front office hurt them last year, no B."

Noel's words carry a lot of weight. Noel was drafted sixth overall in 2013 and experienced the Pistons' tumultuous situation firsthand. While his playing time under Dwane Casey was limited, his opinion added fuel to the fire of the front office's decision-making.

Noel's comments sparked speculation about the influence veterans like Bojan Bogdanovic, Alec Burks and Noel have on the young core. Were they truly helpful mentors, or did their presence hinder development?

Those questions now loom over the Pistons as owner Tom Gores and general manager Troy Weaver face scrutiny. Gores, who hired Weaver in 2019, ultimately approved rotation decisions that Noel seemed to criticize.

While Coach Monty Williams' new staff should have time to implement their system, Noel's comments raise concerns about the team's overall approach to building. Are the Pistons truly committed to developing young talent, or are they focused on short-term fixes that will yield disastrous results?

Cunningham's cryptic message and Noel's explosive revelations highlight a deep sense of frustration within the Pistons. Fans, players and the media are hungry for answers, and the onus is now on Gores and Weaver to provide them. If they fail to do so, the echoes of "we're not 2-for-26" could turn into a deafening roar of discontent.
