Thursday nights on TNT on Tuesday nights continues to be a thing, and the night’s first matchup is not exactly the barnburner the schedule makers thought they were getting.

Ben and I go into how much we loved the decisive, aggressive version of Cade Cunningham we saw against the Atlanta Hawks, talk again about how bad the defense has

In some respects, it just wasn’t Golden State’s night. Missing Klay Thompson and on the second night of a back-to-back, the Warriors didn’t exactly have their “A” game against the struggling Detroit Pistons. In other respects, Detroit managed to take every body blow the Warriors could muster and hit big shot after big shot when

Bojan Bogdanovic, who has had a hot start to the season in his first stint for the Detroit Pistons, has agreed to a two-year extension for $39.1 million, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

The Detroit Pistons gave up 136 points to Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks on Friday and now get to face the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry.

The teal is offically back! Almost two decades since the franchise ditched the original teal color-way, the Detroit Pistons will debut the divisive jersey in their second consecutive match-up with the Atlanta Hawks. Following a competitive showing on Wednesday night, Detroit is seeking to end a four-game slide against the high-flying Hawks. With starting guard,

The Detroit Pistons stayed with the Atlanta Hawks in a back-and-forth affair at Little Caesars Arena, but a tired Cade Cunningham and an inability to protect the paint late were too much to overcome and Detroit fell 118-113.

The grind of the NBA season doesn’t stop, no matter how bad you are playing. The Pistons are getting an early lesson in that as they return home from Washington DC after a bad loss last night against the Wizards. The 3 game road trip the Pistons were on could not have gone any worse
