Detroit Bad Boys

Hamidou Diallo is yet another Detroit Pistons player I had far too high of expectations for coming into this season. Watching him after the trade and even watching some games from last season with the Thunder for the DBB “Player Review” series, I was all in. That excitement was QUICKLY put into check at the

On episode 73 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Brandon Dent (known on twitter as @DetroitKoolAid) who is a Detroit Pistons and Motor City Cruise credentialed media member for the Woodward Sports Network. KoolAid and myself dive into the Jerami Grant injury and what it means for the current roster AND

The Pistons vs. Bulls game scheduled for December 14 has been postponed by the NBA, according to Adrian Wojnarowski. The Chicago Department of Public Health had concerns about the Bulls continuing to play this week, and that played a part in the NBA decision, sources tell ESPN. — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) December 13, 2021 After

On Wednesday, NBA players who signed new deals this past summer can be traded. In other words, Trade SZN will officially be open for business. Trade speculation seems to be accelerating recently, kicked off by the Indiana Pacers willing to consider a “rebuild” and seling off some veteran players. In other pockets, you’re hearing more

We are a quarter through the NBA season, which means we’ve seen enough of the Pistons to know what is working, and what needs some calibration. In this post, we will take a look at what the Pistons are doing well, what needs tweaking, and what likely can’t be fixed until the offseason. Let’s jump

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 4-21 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I have a guest! Mark Schindler of Indy Cornrows and BasketballNews.com joins us to talk about Myles Turner trade possibilities, a Cade Cunningham – Caris LeVert backcourt, and what Dwane

Kevin Durant set a Little Caesars Arena record with 51 points in the Brooklyn Nets’ 116-104 over the Detroit Pistons. The loss was Detroit’s 12th in a row and the first without star forward Jerami Grant who injured his thumb in the Pistons’ previous game and will miss at least six weeks. While the Nets

Hall of Fame Detroit Pistons guard Dave Bing knows greatness when he sees it, and apparently, he doesn’t think Cade Cunningham “is that guy,” as the kids say. Bing was on the Pistons broadcast where he was asked to opine about the young and struggling Detroit Pistons, and the legend couldn’t help but throw some

The Detroit Pistons announced Sunday that star forward Jerami Grant suffered a UCL ligament sprain on his right thumb. The injury occurred in the second quarter of the the Pistons’ game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Dec. 10. The team said Grant will be re-evaluated in six weeks. Six weeks from the injury would

The Detroit Pistons return home to face the surging Brooklyn Nets after a disappointing road loss to bottom dweller counterparts; the New Orleans Pelicans. With reports of James Harden being out (rest), Detroit will look to snap their worst losing streak in 40 years. However, they will have to do so without the services of

The Detroit Pistons have now lost 11 games in a row. The latest, a shellacking at the hands of the also-bad New Orleans Pelicans, was another particularly ugly loss. It’s the third time in as many games that the Pistons built a big lead only to be outworked and overwhelmed in the second half. GM

Jerami Grant, the Detroit Pistons’ leading scorer, is out indefinitely after tearing ligaments in his right thumb, according to a report from The Athletic. If you’re wondering how the season can get worse for a team with the worst record in the NBA, one of the most anemic offenses in the league, and currently on

Welcome to Vol. 2 of our NBA Rookie Rankings! I know you all have been waiting patiently to see where your favorite rookies land on this list (most notably, the one wearing the Pistons jersey) and now the wait is over. Before we jump in, let’s review the methodology. Methodology Rookies who make this list

The Detroit Pistons’ losing streak lives on as the team drops its 11th straight game, falling at the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans by a score of 109-95. Detroit fans, stop me if you’ve heard this before. The team looks great to start. They get out to a big first half lead. The lead

The Detroit Pistons have lost 10 in a row, and if they can’t pull out a victory tonight against the similarly pathetic New Orleans Pelicans then I’m not sure where their next win is going to come from. The Pistons’ next five games will be against the Brooklyn Nets, road gams against the Chicago Bulls

The streak has to end sometime, right? The Detroit Pistons, coming off a pair of disappointing losses that extended their losing streak to 10 games, will look to break out against another bottom-feeder — the New Orleans Pelicans.

We are barely over half a season (45 games) into Killian Hayes’ young NBA career. Injuries derailed his rookie season and left a small sample of ineffective games to judge (too quickly) Hayes’ NBA future. He’s already played nearly as many games this season as he did all of last season, and I think we

Isaiah Stewart was and is one of my favorite players on the Pistons roster. I am not from Detroit, in fact I have never been to Detroit (something that will change in March), and just recently started following the team and creating content exclusively a little over 12 months ago. I say that because even

Cade Cunningham scored 8 of Detroit’s 10 points in overtime, but a Kyle Kuzma three-pointer with less than one second remaining proved to be the difference in the Detroit Pistons’ 119-116 defeat at the hands of the Washington Wizards. The Pistons coughed up another huge lead to see themselves down double digits late, but unlike

After a hot start the exuded competence and then evolved into outright confidence, the Washington Wizards hype train has derailed a bit. The Wiz have won just four of their past 12 games and are again facing questions about the long-term commitment of Bradley Beal. Of course, when you let the OKC Thunder, a team
