One of coach Dwane Casey’s primary post-All Star break goals for the Detroit Pistons has been to get an extended look as the young players — particularly the Motor City Cruise players who haven’t spent much time in the rotation this season. A slew of injuries on the roster has made that task easier. The

Marvin Bagley III, who posts 20 points and 11 rebounds Friday, says his Pistons can beat anybody, even though they fade in the fourth quarter and lose to the Celtics 114-103.
The first 40 minutes of the Detroit Pistons‘ Friday match against the Boston Celtics followed a similar script to the first two. The Pistons have been surprisingly competitive against the Eastern Conference contender this season, defeating them, 112-111, in Boston on Feb. 16 and playing them closely in Detroit on Feb. 26 before falling behind
Detroit — For many people, the pandemic has had a way of altering the perception of time. There’s a clear delineation between things that happened before 2020 and things that happened after — and even the stuff after has its own rhythm.

Suddenly, the Boston Celtics look like a team ready to go to the NBA Finals. Of course, you could have said the same thing Feb. 16, and the Detroit Pistons escaped from that road contest with a buzzer-beating win courtesy of Kelly Olynyk. In a rematch on a rare noon Sunday game, the Pistons coughed
March 10th 2022 at 7:31pm CST by Dana Gauruder The Pistons won in Boston just before the All-Star break but they’ll be shorthanded when they visit for the second time on Friday.

Detroit — In the past couple of weeks, the Pistons have demonstrated that they’re capable of playing well against playoff-caliber teams. Wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Charlotte Hornets and Toronto Raptors gave them a needed boost to show some of their improvement. The next step is figuring out how to move forward in
I have to be straight up with everyone, Isaiah Livers has QUICKLY become one of my favorite players on this Detroit Pistons roster. While I am a fan of the NBA team in Michigan, I must admit Livers was not a player I was super familiar with during his career playing for the Michigan Wolverines.
Michael Scotto of HoopsHype spoke to five executives about Mitchell Robinson‘s value as the Knicks center nears unrestricted free agency and came away the impression that a deal in the mid-level range ($10MMish) might be on the low end for Robinson this offseason.

Detroit — For three quarters, the Pistons looked as if they were going to take another playoff team down to the wire, and maybe get another surprising win. This time, they couldn’t close the deal.

The Detroit Pistons battled with the Chicago Bulls back and fourth through three quarters, but in the decisive fourth the Pistons went ice cold and the Bulls ran away with a 114-108 victory.
