There may not be a bigger disappointment early on than the New York Knicks. Coming off a revelation of a season last year, they’ve struggled to start this season. Julius Randle has regressed, Kemba Walker has been a bust, and RJ Barrett just isn’t good enough to fill in the gaps. Luckily for them, they
On episode 74 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Ku Khahil, host of the absolutely incredible Locked on Pistons Podcast. Even though this was an all mailbag episode we had to start off by talking about the Detroit Pistons ending their 14 game losing streak Sunday night vs the Heat. Ku
New York — There was a moment when Pistons forward Saddiq Bey finally let loose. Bey, ever stoic, cracked a smile, letting his teeth shine through, just a little.

Imagine if every person in every gym across the state wears an Oxford Strong T-shirt to a game on Feb.4. Imagine the power behind a symbolic gesture like that. Imagine the money it could raise for the victims of the Oxford shooting. Imagine the statement it will be screaming: “We are united with you, Oxford. We

Detroit — It was a record that they simply didn’t want. The Pistons’ 14-game losing streak had tied the single-season franchise record, and facing the Miami Heat, they had a chance to avoid history. History will have to wait for another day. The Pistons played a spirited third quarter to push ahead — and unlike several
Before Sunday’s game against the Miami Heat, a reporter asked Detroit Pistons coach Dwane Casey how he keeps team morale high as losses pile up. They were in the throes of a 14-game losing streak. One more loss would’ve set a new franchise record. In a developmental season, the Pistons haven’t been focused on wins

Detroit — Rebuilds aren’t easy. They’re certainly not pretty, either. As the losses continue to pile up for the Pistons, one of the hardest things to grasp is the notion that it’s going to get better. At some point, it has to, doesn’t it? The Pistons entered Sunday’s matchup against the Miami Heat with a
The Detroit Pistons could make history tonight, but it’s the kind they’d mostly like to avoid. With a loss against the Miami Heat, Detroit would tie the record for consecutive losses in a season, which would match them for the 1979-80 season and again in 1993-94. This is not the kind of landmark you want

The coach is quarantining. So is the goalie. So are an assistant coach and three other players. For now, the Detroit Red Wings will keep playing — they were scheduled to host the New Jersey Devils on Saturday night. Though their game against the Avalanche Monday has been postponed.

Detroit — On a nightly basis, Isaiah Stewart gives up size to almost every opposing starting center. At 6-foot-8, he doesn’t have ideal height, but he’s learning how to make up for the difference by using his strength and positioning to his advantage. In Saturday’s matchup against Rockets center Christian Wood, who is 6-10, Stewart
