Detroit Bad Boys

It has officially been two games with James Wiseman, Marvin Bagley, and Jalen Duren all in the Detroit Pistons‘ rotation. Through two games, the results haven’t been what one would call inspiring. The latest was a 121-115 defeat at the hands of the Indiana Pacers. The Pacers, like the Pistons, came into this game severely

What happens if you take the worst team in the NBA, then remove five (six, counting Cade Cunningham) of its most important players? You get whatever Dwane Casey has to work with tonight when the Pistons play host to the Indiana Pacers at Little Caesars Arena. Detroit will be without its leading scorer Bojan Bogdanovic

On a night that celebrated the title-winning 2003 Detroit Shock, the Detroit Pistons played anything but championship basketball against the Charlotte Hornets Thursday at Little Caesars Arena. The young, injury-depleted Pistons committed too many unforced errors and played too little defense, eventually falling 113-103. The loss was Detroit’s 10th in a row. Making matters worse,

The Detroit Pistons will likely be without starting big man Isaiah Stewart for the remainder of the season after the third-year player was diagnosed with a left shoulder impingement. The team announced the diagnosis after an MRI and evaluation and said Stewart would be re-evaluated in 3-4 weeks. The shoulder injury dates back to an

I don’t think you can say this about any other season matchup for the Pistons, but they are looking to win the season series against the Charlotte Hornets. It is even crazier that it is being said about an opponent like the Hornets given how poorly the Pistons have played against the Hornets the last

Post-All-Star break means it is officially the 2023 NBA Draft season for the Detroit Pistons and for Pistons fans. In that spirit, Detroit Bad Boys is sharing weekly articles and prospect breakdowns from our own Bryce Simon, who is analyzing prospects for Sports Illustrated’s Draft Digest. This week, Bryce explores a potential mid-lottery pick in

The Detroit Pistons are losers of a season-high eight games in a row. During that losing streak, they’ve managed to post the league’s worst offense a completely reasonable 16th-rated defense, the second-to-worst turnover ratio and that is despite letting opponents shoot 41.7% from 3-point range. They also have managed to tumble all the way to

As the Detroit Pistons crawl toward the finish line of an ugly season, the team will work to get some of their younger players who are still healthy some crucial minutes to set them up for a more competitive season in 2023-24. That’s the plan, anyway. You’d like for the team to build on its

If the Detroit Pistons have you down in the dumps, it’s understandable. After all, they haven’t won a game since before Valentine’s Day. Believe it or not, things could be worse. They could be the Washington Wizards, a team that is perennially mediocre with no intentions on rebuilding anytime soon. They’re a flawed team with

Welcome to the latest installment of my 313 Thoughts, your weekly recap of all things Detroit Pistons. Each week Jack Kelly highlights all the relevant news, rumors and on-court play while embracing Detroit’s 313 identity. The formula is simple—I’ll detail; 3 Things to like, 1 Thing not to like and 3 Things to monitor. Following

A frustrated fan base seemingly wants big changes for the Detroit Pistons. They wanted big changes at the deadline — either a big swing for an established player or selling off quality vets for future draft capital to package in future deals. Neither happened. Rumors swirled around some of Detroit’s veteran players like Bojan Bogdanovic,

Let’s stir the pot a bit, this might be Jerami Grant’s last game in Detroit as a visitor if you like to believe free agency rumors in the middle of the season. I am not making a prediction or anything, but there could be a reason why he hasn’t signed an extension with the Blazers

I simulated the draft order on Tankathon precisely four times (in honor of Detroit’s 2004 championship) to pretty mixed results. First, the Detroit Pistons landed at No. 6, the furthest they can mathematically fall based on current standings. On second roll, they landed No. 1 and, presumably, Victor Wembanyama. Third time, Detroit got the second
