Well, that was exhilarating. Let’s start with the ending: That’s a tough, tough basket over a tough, tough defender in Dyson Daniels by Cade Cunningham. Followed by some great individual defense by Jaden Ivey, forcing Trae Young to give it up, and Cade zips things up with a block from behind. Pistons coach JB Bickerstaff

I should be starting off this preview talking about the Pistons 3-game winning streak, but because they could not box out Brandon Miller, they are looking to bounce back from a tough loss. Some home cooking can definitely help and playing a Hawks team that is better than the Pistons, but not significantly, also helps.
I had something really nice written about how good the Detroit Pistons bench played and how Cade Cunningham’s second-straight triple-double was vital in a win over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. It was really good. Maybe I’ll leave it in below. Instead, the Pistons were, well, the same old Pistons. They held multiple late leads,
The Detroit Pistons have not won three games in a row since April 3, 2022, when they scratched together a few meaningless wins at the end of the year, en route to a woeful 17-65 season. They’ll have an opportunity to put together an actual win streak tonight against the Charlotte Hornets, who are coming
Led by a triple-double from Cade Cunningham, the Detroit Pistons secured their second straight win on the second night of a back-to-back with a 115-103 win over the Los Angeles Lakers at Little Caesars Arena. The Pistons led by as many as 20, and held a lead consistently through most of Monday’s game against the
The Detroit Pistons welcomed Bronny James and the Los Angeles Lakers to Little Caesars Arena for some Monday Night Football Basketball. JJ Redick and JB Bickerstaff both are looking to grow in their new roles as head coach for their respective teams. The Pistons got off to a hot start that started with a 15-7
I fear what Anthony Davis is going to be able to accomplish today against the Detroit Pistons. I fear what Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick will be able to scheme up to create open looks and clear driving lanes for his team. I always fear LeBron James. I’m not sure how excited I am
The Detroit Pistons put on a defensive masterclass in the second half in their 106-92 victory against the Brooklyn Nets, holding their opponent to just 35 points. Detroit looks to build on that defensive momentum as they face their toughest individual task to date: stopping Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers. Game Vitals When:
For more than a decade, the Detroit Pistons seem to be the home of depressing stats. But you know what they say: depressing records were made to be broken. One particular record fell on Sunday evening — the Pistons and the Detroit Lions won on the same day for the first time since 2021. Yes,
After an early season blowout to the New York Knicks, the Detroit Pistons jump on a flight to New York to take on another Atlantic division foe, the Brooklyn Nets. Detroit came out flat Friday night after snagging their first win of the season vs the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. After the Knicks punched them
There was not a lot of fun to be had for the Detroit Pistons last night in their blowout loss to the New York Knicks – but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from the tape to see where the Pistons need to improve. JB Bickerstaff seems to think our defense has to improve from
On a morning episode of The Pindown, Blake and Wes dive into the past two weeks over some caffeinated morning beverages. They discuss what has been so impressive about the pairing of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, and why the strides both have made defensively say more about JB Bickerstaff than either player. They also
It was bad – everything was bad. For the Detroit Pistons and for Pistons fans. It was the kind of game that had people saying “goodnight” to each other in the game thread after the first quarter. The Pistons were down 26 (!) points after the game’s first 12 minutes. They actually earned a puppy
