Detroit Bad Boys

Inside The Cylinder is back following the trade deadline! In this episode, Matt and I discuss the trade that sent Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for Cory Joseph and two second-round picks. Was it a good trade, bad trade, or just ….ya know, a trade? Also, we share our thoughts on why we weren’t

It was foolish to think, really. As much as Detroit Pistons fans wanted Jerami Grant’s early season magic to be the true blossoming of a legitimate NBA star, it was wishful thinking. Grant played the best basketball of his career, nay, life, over the first two months of the season. He scored in ways we’d

Well, that was fun. I know, I know, the Detroit Pistons need to lose games, not win them. The #FadeForCade and #BeCrappyForMobley campaigns are in full effect. However, when you have a game like this, a 118-104 win over the Toronto Raptors, you can’t help but enjoy it. It’s not that the Pistons improved one

The Detroit Pistons will know their fate on June 22 and will select a player that could well define their future on July 29. The NBA Draft Lottery is scheduled for June 22 at 8:30 p.m. EST on ESPN while the NBA Draft will be held July 29 at 8 p.m. EST on TNT. The

“With their pick in 2021 NBA Draft the Detroit Pistons select…”. Ok, as the NCAA Tournament enters the games that will cut the title challengers to Elite Eight, we’re reminded that the time is coming when Motor City will make a move that could speed up its “restoration” enormously. The coming draft looks to be

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk about your 12-33 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about what did – and didn’t – happen at the trade deadline for the Pistons, the impact of Jerami Grant’s quad contusion (just rest him, please) and Blake

The Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards played a game so up-and-down it would have made Todd Jones proud. In the end, the Pistons built themselves too big of a hole and weren’t able to complete the 30-point comeback. Detroit started off the game well with Saben Lee getting his first career start. Lee was active

I don’t like to talk about games being a “must-lose,” but the Detroit Pistons have three games against the Washington Wizards between tonight and April 17. Being a road game helps. Being the second night of a back-to-back helps. The next four are against the Wizards, Raptors, Blazers, and Wizards again. People worried the Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are trying to invent its backcourt rotation anew after recent trades sent away sniper Svi Mykhailiuk and rock-solid playmaker Delon Wright. Yesterday, the team had a chance to try its latest acquisitions, Hamidou Diallo, who looks to have a long-term future in Detroit, and Cory Joseph who likely does not. Regrettably, Detroit

The Detroit Pistons came up just short against the James Harden-led Brooklyn Nets Friday night, 113-111. While Blake Griffin made his third appearance for his new team, the Nets were without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant. Harden scored 44 points in 42 minutes and was just two assists short of a triple-double. Griffin made his

Blake Griffin returned to Detroit for the first time since he was bought out by the team and caught on with the Brooklyn Nets. Griffin was obviously energized and had his best game as a Net in the team’s 113-111 win. Blake had 17 points and a nice alley-oop dunk. He also sold a number

Now that the dust has settled following the trade deadline, the grind that is this Pistons season continues. Detroit made a move around the edges when they moved Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for Cory Joseph and a couple of second-round picks while Brooklyn stood pat despite a flurry of earlier Spencer Dinwiddie rumors.

The NBA Trade Deadline has come and gone. The Chicago Bulls went for it, the Orlando Magic pushed the rebuild button and Danny Ainge again balked at a significant deadline deal. The Detroit Pistons, well, they were active, but not active. The staff gives their thoughts on the Pistons’ moves, as well as the rest

Today is NBA Trade Deadline day! We have our first major trade with the Orlando Magic surprising everyone by sending All-Star Nikola Vucevic to the Chicago Bulls for Wendell Carter Jr., Otto Porter and two top-four protected first-round picks. We’ve also had a Detroit Pistons trade with Delon Wright getting sent to the Sacramento Kings

The clock struck 1 a.m. on the East Coast and Detroit unofficially started NBA trade deadline day with a minor move that could have major reverberations in Detroit. Delon Wright was out and Cory Joseph and two secound-round picks were in. This isn’t going to do much of anything to radically transform the standings. But

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) talked to Mark Schindler (@MSchindlerNBA) about the Detroit Pistons’ loss to the Indiana Pacers, and each team’s plans at the trade deadline. That, in turn, became a discussion about Edmond Sumner’s progression, how much dominating the G-League is worth, Batman: The Animated Series, Isaiah Stewart being ready to fire from downtown, Henry

Is it any suprise that the Detroit Pistons are the ones that opened up NBA Trade Deadline day, and that they did it at three in the dang morning? Does Troy Weaver ever sleep? The deal will send starting point guard Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for point guard Corey Joseph and a pair

The Detroit Pistons got everything they asked for except the win against the Indiana Pacers. The two teams traded blows courtesy of spurts of explosive offense by both sides. The Pacers outlasted the Pistons 116-111, but Detroit had plenty to be happy about. Wayne Ellington played for the first time in five games and was

Not long ago, we discussed Mason Plumlee’s important role in the running of Detroit Pistons’ offense and defense. Mason’s success is not based on wins and losses, but on how he contributes to the development of the team’s crop of young players. One of those young players, Isaiah Stewart, is progressing so quickly, he might
