Detroit Bad Boys

As SOON as you finish this article, check out the amazing piece by Jack Kelly about Killian Hayes’ move to the bench, which takes a closer look at the young Detroit Pistons point guard’s offensive and all-around game. For this breakdown, I wanted to focus on the defensive end of the floor, where Hayes seems

The kids are really hitting their stride for the Detroit Pistons. Cade Cunningham is making his claim for NBA Rookie of the Year, Saddiq Bey is scoring 30 points somewhat regularly, Isaiah Stewart just bodied Evan Mobley and Killian Hayes has seemed to find something that works coming off the bench. Move over, boys, the

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 12-37 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I discuss Cade Cunningham’s up-and-down week, Jerami Grant trade rumors, Killian Hayes’ new role off the bench, and Frank Jackson’s return to the rotation. Recorded prior to Sunday’s win against

Cade Cunningham is growing up before our eyes. The question is no longer whether he was a worth pick at No. 1 overall. It isn’t even whether Cunningham might be destined for stardom. The question is whether superstardom is on the horizon. If Cunningham puts together a few more halves like his second-half showing against

Welcome to the Rookie of the Year race. The presumptive front-runner this year is Evan Mobley, who looks to be a generationally excellent defensive player with plenty of offense in his game as well. He’s helped the Cleveland Cavaliers vault from near the bottom to the top of the conference in just one season. Not

On Jan. 18 against the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons point guard Killian Hayes suffered a hip injury in a collision with a baseline camera man. To make matters worse, this was the same right hip he had surgery on during his rookie campaign. Fortunately, the second-year guard was only sidelined for a couple of

To say the Pistons started off this game poorly would be an understatement. The Pistons missed a lot of easy layups early, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. They played poor defense, turned the ball over a lot, and kept missing shots. They only had 8 points through 7 minutes of the

We’re two weeks away from the NBA Trade Deadline, which means we may be two weeks away from the end of Jerami Grant’s tenure with the Detroit Pistons. Or maybe we’re not? Marc Stein of the New York Times is reporting that “Arn Tellem [is] said to be open to an immediate trade.” That’s interestingly

Fresh off a pair of honourable losses to the Denver Nuggets, Detroit heads to Florida for a brief one-game road trip against the Orlando Magic. The 2022 Detroit Pistons look to get back to their winning ways against the one team in the league who has a worse record than themselves. In their two previous

If you haven’t heard, the NBA trade deadline is coming up on Feb. 10. Every year there is a lot of hype around the trade deadline as fans think their team is going to make the big move to put their team over the top. And most years fans are underwhelmed as a few role

Cade Cunningham had the best game of his young career Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets, and the stats he put up were absolutely eye popping. He scored 34 points, and he added 8 assists, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks. That was something no rookie had done since Michael Jordan. The most glaring state, however, might

I don’t know if Cade Cunningham is going to win rookie of the year or not, and quite frankly, I don’t care. All I care about is the fact that this man IS on the Detroit Pistons and this man IS the best rookie in the draft class. If the voters want to give it

Well DBBers, we have reached just over the halfway point of the season. With the recent win against Sacramento, some competitive losses against Denver and the continued emergence of Cade Cunningham, spirits are high and it seems like the team is playing more together. Add to that the quick integration of Kelly Olynyk once he

On episode 86 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I bring you my instant recap and reactions to the Pistons Tuesday night game vs the Nuggets. I will give my overall outlook on the game and a rundown of what we saw from the Pistons. I will also give my biggest takeaway, player of the

Cade Cunningham finally had his coming-out party. The Detroit Pistons rookie scored a career-high 34 points to go with 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks. The only other rookie to reach those thresholds was some guy named Michael Jordan. Ever heard of him? Unfortunately, that herculean effort wasn’t enough as Detroit fell to the
