Cade Cunningham is entering his first All-Star game at a time when the game itself has never looked more different. The fourth-year guard is playing in the NBA All-Star game’s new multi-team tournament format. He is the first Piston player to make the All-Star team since Blake Griffin in 2019. In prior years a player

NBA All-Star Saturday Night is the league’s signature event night, with various NBA stars competing in the Kia Skills Challenge, the Starry 3-point Contest and the AT&T Slam Dunk contest. For Detroit Pistons fans it’s also the night where they get to see their best player and *cough* fifth-best 3-point shooter Cade Cunningham compete in
Not all the Detroit Pistons are getting an extended break during All-Star weekend. Cade Cunningham is in in the big show, the NBA All-Star game on Sunday. His young teammate, second-year forward Ausar Thompson hopes to join him. First, he’ll have to win the NBA Rising Stars game, which is airing tonight on TNT and
The Detroit Pistons finished the unofficial first half of the season exactly how they wanted to. A 128-110 win over the Chicago Bulls, three games above .500 for the first time this season, and with real momentum as the lineup continues to gel. The game wasn’t as easy for Detroit as the 40-point win against
Only one more game stands between us and the All-Star break. For the fans, it is the last meaningful 48 minutes of basketball for an extended period, with only some Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson All-Star festivities to distract us. For most of the players, it is near an extended break they can use to
When you’re a team coming off one of the worst seasons in NBA history, a season when you set an NBA single-season record for most consecutive losses, league-wide and casual interest in the product you’re offering is going to be minimal at best. That was reflected in the national TV schedule prior to the start
The biggest mistake the Detroit Pistons can make is assuming that the Chicago Bulls team they will face tonight will look anything like the Bulls from the first half of yesterday’s game. Those Bulls couldn’t throw the ball into the ocean and were limited to 29 first-half points. Chicago might be a rebuilding team struggling
So, that was a lot of fun. With a much-deserved break coming soon due to the All-Star weekend, it’s important the Detroit Pistons don’t lose sight of the playoff picture and use every game as a stepping stone toward the 6th seed. If tonight was any indication, this team is hitting their stride in the
The NBA has some weird scheduling quirks, and one of the weirdest is back-to-back games against the same team. It doesn’t always happen, but every team seems to have at least one of these a season. I am sure it has to do with reducing travel during a long season by knocking out a couple
The thing about playing for seven teams in five years is that you’ve seen it all. That’s exactly why Trajan Langdon and JBB Bickerstaff wanted Dennis Schroder to become a member of the Detroit Pistons. The well-traveled point guard has started for years, come off the bench, captained young teams, and deferred to superstars. He’s
It wasn’t always pretty, and the Detroit Pistons didn’t always look like they were taking the game seriously, but they did enough to put away the overmatched Charlotte Hornets 112-102. The win moved Detroit above .500 (27-26) and 4-2 to end their homestand. Their two losses were by a combined five points. The Pistons were
The Pistons just acquired Dennis Schroeder, Lindy Waters III, and a couple of second round picks, so the guys thought they’d bring in an expert to break it all down. Laz Jackson joins Wes and Blake to discuss Schroeder’s play, his role for the rest of the season and if he changes the expectations for
The Detroit Pistons were determined not to let this game come down to the final shot—not after two back-breaking losses in consecutive games. A short-handed Pistons team without its engine, Cade Cunningham, worked together and stormed out of the gate to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 125-112. The Pistons scored a season-high 78 points and went
A member of the Detroit Pistons will compete in the NBA All-Star 3-point shooting contest, but it’s not the one everyone was expecting. Cade Cunningham is one of eight players selected to compete in the annual event during NBA All-Star weekend. Many Pistons fans were hoping that Malik Beasley, who is second in the NBA
