It’s hard to make sense of the Indiana Pacers this season. They’ll win 7 of 10 and then go on a four-game losing skid. Their last three losses — Clippers, Jazz, Hawks. Last three wins — Thunder, Rockets, Grizzlies. Seems like they are a good bad team or a mediocre team that can’t do much

Turns out, no matter how hard you try, you can’t lose them all. Are the Detroit Pistons trying to do that? No, not at all. They do appear to have a plan of attack down the stretch as they try to balance developing a solid core of young players while trying to put themselves in
The Detroit Pistons’ roster largely falls into two groups. Eight players on the team have fewer than three full years of experience and are 22 years old or younger. They’re in show-and-prove mode.

In three games this week, it’s almost like Dwane Casey has coached two different teams. The Pistons and their coach lost the final two, wrapping up a Texas two-step Thursday with a 106-91 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. A bevy of veterans sat out the second game in as many nights, and though Josh

In what will undoubtedly be a far cry from the matchups we saw 16 years ago, the Detroit Pistons visit the San Antonio Spurs in a game that means very different things to each team. Detroit has no real motivation to win games the rest of the year while San Antonio seeks to hold onto

Cory Joseph missed Monday’s game due to a bout with bronchitis. One probably wouldn’t have guessed that, judging by his performance Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Detroit Pistons got several of their key players back in time for a tough road game against the Dallas Mavericks.
