worse by far of course. Even Monroe's progress and McFail failure can't change it. Pistons are a bunch of selfish players alongside Monroe
If they have a better record (doubtful), the only reason will be is they are in the Eastern Conference, a far less superior conference compared to the West.
People would rather coach the Timberwovles over the Pistons? I would at least say they're comparable in coaching desirability.
