Detroit Bad Boys

The biggest mistake the Detroit Pistons can make is assuming that the Chicago Bulls team they will face tonight will look anything like the Bulls from the first half of yesterday’s game. Those Bulls couldn’t throw the ball into the ocean and were limited to 29 first-half points. Chicago might be a rebuilding team struggling

So, that was a lot of fun. With a much-deserved break coming soon due to the All-Star weekend, it’s important the Detroit Pistons don’t lose sight of the playoff picture and use every game as a stepping stone toward the 6th seed. If tonight was any indication, this team is hitting their stride in the

The NBA has some weird scheduling quirks, and one of the weirdest is back-to-back games against the same team. It doesn’t always happen, but every team seems to have at least one of these a season. I am sure it has to do with reducing travel during a long season by knocking out a couple

The thing about playing for seven teams in five years is that you’ve seen it all. That’s exactly why Trajan Langdon and JBB Bickerstaff wanted Dennis Schroder to become a member of the Detroit Pistons. The well-traveled point guard has started for years, come off the bench, captained young teams, and deferred to superstars. He’s

It wasn’t always pretty, and the Detroit Pistons didn’t always look like they were taking the game seriously, but they did enough to put away the overmatched Charlotte Hornets 112-102. The win moved Detroit above .500 (27-26) and 4-2 to end their homestand. Their two losses were by a combined five points. The Pistons were

The Pistons just acquired Dennis Schroeder, Lindy Waters III, and a couple of second round picks, so the guys thought they’d bring in an expert to break it all down. Laz Jackson joins Wes and Blake to discuss Schroeder’s play, his role for the rest of the season and if he changes the expectations for

The Detroit Pistons were determined not to let this game come down to the final shot—not after two back-breaking losses in consecutive games. A short-handed Pistons team without its engine, Cade Cunningham, worked together and stormed out of the gate to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 125-112. The Pistons scored a season-high 78 points and went

A member of the Detroit Pistons will compete in the NBA All-Star 3-point shooting contest, but it’s not the one everyone was expecting. Cade Cunningham is one of eight players selected to compete in the annual event during NBA All-Star weekend. Many Pistons fans were hoping that Malik Beasley, who is second in the NBA

After a trade deadline in which the Detroit Pistons added a much-needed secondary ball handler in Dennis Schroder, they now get to play their first and only ESPN game of the season (unless they get more added). Playing on ESPN isn’t that big of a deal for a team like the Philadelphia 76ers, but for

Depending on who you asked, the expectations for Trajan Langdon and the Detroit Pistons leading up to Thursday’s NBA trade deadline were all over. Some wanted to parlay the team’s surprising start to the season with a big move. Otherwise wanted to eat sin and take bad contracts for draft picks. Some were in the

The Detroit Pistons used the NBA Trade Deadline to fill its most glaring weakness, adding Dennis Schroder to fill the role of backup point guard. The deal means Schroder is being traded to his fourth and final team in 24 hours and his fifth franchise of the season. Schroder began the year playing solidly for

The NBA trade deadline is at 3 p.m. ET today, and the Detroit Pistons have already made a couple of moves. First, they netted a couple of second-round picks in exchange for defensive forward KJ Martin in a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Next, they received Lindy Waters III and Josh Richardson from the Warriors

Jimmy Butler finally escaped from Miami and the Detroit Pistons were happy to be one of the five teams that were part of the deal that took him from South Beach to the Golden State Warriors. The Pistons received guards Lindy Waters III from the Warriors and Josh Richardson from the Miami Heat in what

The Detroit Pistons need a big game from starting center Jalen Duren and his primary reserve Isaiah Stewart if the team hopes to steal a win from the Cleveland Cavaliers. Duren has been on a hot streak lately, with more activity level defensively (though still a long way to go), some elite rim gravity, and

After being on the wrong side of a Trae Young game-winner, championship contenders Cleveland Cavaliers waltz into Little Caesars Arena for their third game in four nights— this will be JB Bickerstaff’s third game against his former team this year. The Detroit Pistons are coming off a day of rest, so they have a slight

The NBA Trade Deadline may not be until tomorrow, but the Detroit Pistons got things started early on Wednesday. Mark Stein is reporting that Detroit has acquired forward KJ Martin and two second round picks from the Philadelphia 76ers. Funny enough, Detroit gives up nothing here as they will absorb Martin’s 2-year, $16M deal —

Trae Young got a bit of revenge. Days after Cade Cunningham was named to the All-Star game over Young, Trae hit a game-winning 20-foot jumper with 1.6 seconds remaining to give the Hawks the win over the Pistons, 132-130. The loss snapped Detroit’s two-game winning streak and also ended Atlanta’s eight-game losing streak. It was

One of the reasons Detroit Pistons president has conserved $14 million in cap space is to facilitate deals with teams looking to dodge the NBA’s luxury tax and cap penalties. It looks like he might have a deal lined up with his former franchise which would allow them to fall below the tax line, but

Cade Cunningham was named an All-Star on Thursday, and on Friday he proved he deserved it by dropping 40 points in the Detroit Pistons’ 117-102 win against the Dallas Mavericks. When Cunningham was breaking down defenders and making off-balance layups to seal the win for the Pistons in the fourth quarter, the crowd started showing

The Detroit Pistons are back home at the friendly confines of Little Caesars Arena after a grueling five-game road trip. The Pistons started that trip with two wins, but then dropped three straight. They are looking to right the ship tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. The Mavs have their own woes to contend with. Key
