Detroit Bad Boys

The Detroit Pistons were clearly not ready to deal with the New York Knicks’ defense and Julius Randle’s offense, and by the time they got up to speed, it was too late. The Pistons fell 117-104 as Randle had a game-high 42 points, 15 rebounds and four assists. He was walking into clean jumpers, hitting

The Pelicans entered this game without Zion Williamson, which didn’t really matter since the Pistons were without Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren once again. Against the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Nerlens Noel’s defense was a huge part of the comeback, but that was not the case today. He didn’t have an answer for Jonas Valanciunas, a

It was the worst of times… then it was not that bad. Coming off their worst loss of the season in Philadelphia against the 76ers, the Detroit Pistons cruised past the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday to right the ship. Now, they welcome the injury-ravaged New Orleans Pelicans to LCA in search of their second-straight win.

A matchup between the Boston Celtics and the Brooklyn Nets was starting to feel like an honest to goodness Eastern Conference Finals preview, but then Kevin Durant got hurt. KD was playing at an MVP-caliber level so there is no way to hand wave away his extended absence with an MCL sprain. But they are

Superlatives abound when your team wins 135-118 and ends an opponent’s four-game winning streak. But the star of the game for the Detroit Pistons might have been a player who played just 21 minutes and scored two points. Little-used center Nerlens Noel was pressed into starting duty with injuries to Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart,

The Pistons were short-handed against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, but their effort was still abysmal. They couldn’t be bothered to play defense as the Pistons gave up a season-high 147 points, The Goin’ to Work Pistons cringe at that final score. Nobody expected the Pistons to beat a full strength 76ers team with the

When the Detroit Pistons announced their starting lineup against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, you knew it was going to be a rough night. Not only were the Pistons without their leading scorer in Bojan Bogdanovic, they were without their starting front court as Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart sat with assorted bumps and bruises.

Bojan Bogdanovic remains one of the most-named players in the lead-up to the NBA Trade Deadline. The Detroit Pistons forward is cost-controlled for a few seasons on a team-friendly deal, one of the league’s best 3-point shooters, and also acquitting himself nicely as a high-usage scorer on an anemic offensive team. It’s no surprise when

The Detroit Pistons will play the Philadelphia 76ers for the second half of a ‘home and home’ series. Detroit will need to put forth a season-best effort if they are to challenge the hometown 76ers tonight. After barely registering a punch in Sunday’s 123-111 loss to Philly, the short-handed Pistons will be without their leading

With a shade under five minutes to play in the first quarter of the recent clash with the Golden State Warriors, Jalen Duren, the Detroit Pistons big man, made a beeline towards the basket whilst tracking a Killian Hayes jumper. The restricted area was already occupied by a pair of Warriors bigs with one goal

Jack catches Ben and I up on what we missed during the holiday season, we have a great discussion about the Isaiah Stewart – Jalen Duren pairing and

The Detroit Pistons played a deadly combination of sloppy, disinterested and lifeless basketball in a 123-111 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in front of a mostly silent home crowd at Little Caesars Arena. The game was not even as close as the final score makes it seems. James Harden had a triple-double within the opening

The Detroit Pistons return home from a five-game road trip to play the Philadelphia 76ers for the second time this season. In their initial meeting on Dec. 21, Joel Embiid lead his 76ers to a dominant 113-93 victory over the young Pistons. Luckily for Detroit, Embiid has been listed out for this afternoon’s clash with
