Detroit Bad Boys

I hope you’re able to contain your excitement for tonight’s In-Season Tournament game that pits the Detroit Pistons against the Philadelphia 76ers. It is Detroit’s first tournament game of the season. And of course, it is against one of the league’s best teams, and it is while they are still without a handful of important

Young teams have a very small margin of error no matter who they are playing. They have an even smaller margin of error when they are missing so many regular rotation players, especially ones that are experienced and can help in clutch moments. That is the reality the current Pistons are facing and it was

There are moments every game where you see how Cade Cunningham could become a dominant NBA player. The Detroit Pistons guard is clearly capable of scoring at the rim even without explosive athleticism. Using his size and patience to get to his spot and easily hitting a mid-range jumper. Finding cutters even while being swallowed

When the Detroit Pistons are playing meaningful basketball, Cade Cunningham and Marcus Sasser will be two of the biggest reasons why. The young backcourt went deep in their bag against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday and came away with… another loss. Detroit’s guards got them a lead in the fourth quarter, but the team crumbled

The injury-depleted Detroit Pistons have signed a familiar face, agreeing to a one-year deal with free agent forward Kevin Knox. Knox played 42 games with the Pistons last season before being dealt to the Portland Trail Blazers. The 24-year-old Knox averaged 5.6 points and shot 46.9% from the field and 37% from 3 last year

The Pistons season was off to a promising 2-1 start, but as the injuries have started to pile up, the fun, defensively gritty team has turned into a nightly question of who will play and how much they will lose by. The NBA schedule makers haven’t done the Pistons any favor, as after a 4th

When we last spoke, the Detroit Pistons were 2-1 through three games, and Sasser was a few seconds short of logging 24 total minutes. In the five games since then, he’s averaging 24.8 minutes per game, and while the team is 0-5 over that stretch, Sasser has looked like one of the Pistons’ best players

A night after their head coach questioned their toughness, the Detroit Pistons fought for four quarters, but they still came up short 120-109 against the Golden State Warriors. Steph Curry led all scorers with 34 points, while the Pistons were led by 21 apiece from the starting backcourt of Killian Hayes and Cade Cunningham. “I’m

The Detroit Pistons have an uphill battle going against the Golden State Warriors on Monday, and the task got even tougher as the team has lost another player to the injury/unavailable list. Veteran forward Joe Harris, the team’s best (only?) 3-point shooter with a track record is out tonight with a right shoulder sprain. He

A performance worthy of the original Bad Boys this was not. The Detroit Pistons, donning their Bad Boys alternate uniforms and court for the first time were easily dispatched at home by an undermanned Phoenix Suns team 120-106. The Suns were without Bradley Beal and Devin Booker, but that doesn’t matter when you have Kevin

It’s been an up-and-down start to the season for the Detroit Pistons, but let’s hope Monty Williams is able to provide some calm and focus as the Pistons debut their Bad Boy uniforms and court and face Williams’ former team the Phoenix Suns. The superstar-led Suns are down two of said stars — Bradley Beal

We’re not even 10 games into the season and Detroit Pistons fans have experienced a roller coaster of emotions through six games. They were a good defensive team. Then a bad one. Cade was great. Then he wasn’t. Killian Hayes couldn’t shoot. Then he still couldn’t. Jaden Ivey wasn’t playing enough. Then he still wasn’t.

DETROIT – Motor City Cruise executives, players, and staff spoke to media on Friday as the team works through training camp at the Pistons Performance Center. New Cruise head coach Jamelle McMillan, who came to the organization with Pistons head coach Monty Williams, spoke highly of his team’s ability to set the tone in the

When a guy named Matt Ryan, not to be confused with the retired football player, scored 11 points in the first quarter on Thursday night, you kinda knew it was going to be a rocky evening for the Detroit Pistons. And, boy was it. All those good things from Games 1, 2 and 3 were

Is it time for a lineup change? The Detroit Pistons have dropped two in a row, and even in games when they have played well the starting lineup isn’t really getting it done. The spacing around Cade Cunningham is non-existent, and the defense — behind Ausar Thompson, Isaiah Stewart and Killian Hayes — is good

I can’t imagine the kind of work that goes into building the NBA schedule, but this is a weird one in the schedule. After playing at home against the Trail Blazers last night, the Pistons travel to New Orleans to face the Pelicans, before returning home for games against the Suns and Warriors on Sunday

The Detroit Pistons were more talented, more focused, more ferocious, and had a big 18-point lead and an excited home crowd. Then the completely and unreservedly gave away the game to the young Portland Trail Blazers in a 110-101 loss. If the Pistons are truly looking to turn the corner this season, this is a

The Trailblazers travel to Detroit to face the Pistons for the first time this season and bring Chauncey Billups and Jerami Grant back with them. For Billups, it is as the Head Coach and for Grant it is after inking a lucrative contract with the team in the offseason. Chauncey Billups is obviously the more
