Three quick observations from Sunday night’s 131-124 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center QUITE THE FIGHT – Wrapping up a five-game, weeklong Western Conference road swing with a back to back against two of the NBA’s most potent offenses seemed a recipe for a long night. The Pistons nearly made it one…

There is nothing more appropriate than Josh Jackson leading the team in shots in the Detroit Pistons’ 131-124 loss to the LA Clippers on Sunday. It was an extremely Josh Jackson game for both squads. Defense was intense but each team just kept trading offensive body blows, nailing 3-pointers, hitting step-back jumpers, and driving into
The Detroit Pistons are facing some former Detroit Pistons without some current Detroit Pistons. The Los Angeles Clippers will have Marcus Morris, Luke Kennard and Reggie Jackson. But Jerami Grant remains out with knee soreness and Killian Hayes is being held out as part of injury management. Dennis Smith Jr. is also questionable. That means
Pistons second-year forward Sekou Doumbouya has earned more playing time in recent games, serving as a key cog in the team’s rotation this past week. The 20-year-old saw just over 23 minutes of action on Monday, nine minutes on Tuesday, 13 minutes on Thursday, and nearly 23 minutes on Saturday. He finished with 11 points
There’s something to be said for the Pistons in the MOET Index. It’s not some complicated advanced-statistics formula to break down a player’s value in comparison to others around the league. It’s just a simple “My Own Eye Test” gauge that doesn’t rely on statistics, but just what’s apparent by watching the game. For most
The Detroit Piston have two games in a row against the Los Angles Clippers starting tonight in the Staples Center. The first matchup will be the second game of a back-to-back for the Pistons, so we could see some guys sit, which could lead to some wonky lineups. Killian Hayes could be held out again,
Arn Tellem | Special to Detroit Free Press During his first six seasons in Detroit, Ben Wallace’s hair was something to behold. Though he was listed as 6 feet 9, he says at least two inches of that was actually his untamed Afro. From 2000-06, Pistons fans were so crazy about his wild coiffure that they
Jalen Green would be a nice get for the Detroit Pistons (Photo by Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images) One thing the Detroit Pistons will have to consider when making their 2021 draft selection is how that player fits with the young guys they already have, including Killian Hayes, Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart. We’ve already looked at
The Detroit Pistons are in the middle of the second half of their schedule (that only looks easier on paper) in which they’re playing 36 games in 74 days. They are currently in almost certainly the most difficult stretch of this half or even the entire season. In the span of seven days, they’re playing
To some degree, the Pistons’ western road trip already is a success, with two victories, over the Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings. One more win would give them a winning record in a difficult stretch of games. It didn’t come against the Portland Trail Blazers. Enes Kanter had a historic night and as usual,
Detroit Pistons draft picks (Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images) The Detroit Pistons currently have the third-worst record in the NBA, which gives them a 14 percent chance of landing the number one pick in the NBA Draft. This is what all the bad teams are hoping for. Getting lucky in the lottery is the best
The Detroit Pistons are finally approaching the homestretch of the season. The NBA trade and buyout deadlines have both passed, meaning that the current roster is intact until the offseason. With 19 games remaining, the most interesting story line for many fans is probably where the Pistons’ NBA draft lottery odds will be. There’s still
Killian Hayes #7 of the Detroit Pistons (Photo by Abbie Parr/Getty Images) The Detroit Pistons were routed by the Portland Trail Blazers, who got a bit of history from their big man. Enes Kanter ended the game with 24 points and a franchise-record 30 rebounds on a night the Pistons’ bigs would rather forget. Rookie

The Pistons suddenly have a glut of guards since the return of Killian Hayes and Dennis Smith Jr. from injury to go with recently acquired Cory Joseph and rookie Saben Lee. Which made it hard to see where Frank Jackson fit into the puzzle. But two things have converged to clear the fog a little…
The Detroit Pistons looked just fine without Jerami Grant on Thursday, cruising to a road win against the Sacramento Kings. Grant also missed Saturday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers with a sore knee. The Pistons missed him this time. Portland led by as many as 24 points and easily handled the Pistons, 118-103, behind
The Detroit Pistons went into Portland on Saturday evening without the services of Jerami Grant (knee). Everyone knew it would be a tall task to beat a playoff team in the Trail Blazers. That proved to be exceedingly true. The Blazers defeated the Pistons 118-103. The Blazers won the first and third quarters by 10

Three quick observations from Saturday night’s 118-103 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers at Moda Center CAN’T KEEP UP – Playing hard consistently has kept the Pistons in most games this season, but there are nights – especially when they’re without the firepower Jerami Grant supplies – where they can’t make the scoreboard move fast…
