The Milwaukee Bucks are great. The Detroit Pistons are bad. Traveling home from Paris was hard. Killian Hayes and Isaiah Stewart were hurt. But the Pistons’ early effort in their 150-130 shellacking on Monday was unacceptable. There’s only one place to begin: the beginning of this god forsaken game. The Pistons, playing for the first

The Detroit Pistons are a bad team and no deal at the NBA Trade Deadline is going to change its season. The Pistons are also in year three of a rebuild, and I don’t think any deal would appreciably change their long-term outlook. They’re going to have a high pick in a seemingly loaded 2023

As the NBA calendar edges closer to the league’s unofficial turning point—All-Star Weekend—the Detroit Pistons once again find themselves toiling in the basement of the standings. The Pistons currently have the second-worst record in the NBA, with only the 10-win Houston Rockets below them in the standings. As demoralizing as watching back-to-back-to-back 20-win seasons has

I am sure the Pistons had a great time in Paris, but everybody watching that game did not have a great time. They were blown out by the Bulls in front of Killian Hayes’ friends and family. They now return home after only playing that one game last week to face a Milwaukee Bucks team

Hey everyone! This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s podcast, Ben Gulker and I talk about your 12-36 Detroit Pistons. It’s a mailbag episode, so Ben and I answer your questions about Bojan Bogdanovic’s trade market, what this team is capable of defensively, and what to do with Wemby if

Killian Hayes has taken a step forward this season with his overall offensive production. Whether that is to a satisfactory level is still a debate but the improvement is undeniable. In a small uptick of minutes per game, Hayes has improved his points per game and assists per game while keeping his turnovers at just

The final stretch of yet another dismal Detroit Pistons season is upon us. It’s been a tough watch at times — ok, lots of times — this season as the Pistons have sunk once again into the bottom of the standings. On one hand, that has put them in position to tank their way into

When the highlight of your game was a photo of your general manager getting a good long look at Victor Wembanyama, you know it didn’t go your way. Pretty definitively, nothing went the Detroit Pistons’ way in their 126-108 loss to the Chicago Bulls in Paris. It’s not that the Detroit Pistons wilted in the

The Detroit Pistons season hasn’t quite gone to plan, to put it mildly. A never-ending injury report has plagued the roster for much of the season, with coach Dwane Casey only having a fully outfitted roster on a handful of occasions. With injuries come inconsistency, and inconsistency quickly becomes instability, and that is a recipe

The Detroit Pistons play host the Chicago Bulls this later today, however, this won’t be you’re typical 7:30 p.m. tip-off at Little Caesars Arena. Instead, this afternoon’s contest will be played more than 4,000 miles away in Paris, France. While the NBA has allowed each team as much rest time possible to combat the travel—the

We’ve hit a somewhat sluggish point in the NBA season as All-Star ballots are released and the outlook of most teams have become clearer. For the Pistons — you can call it déjà vu— but their playoff hopes have been slashed before the new year even began. For NBA Draft junkies, that means it’s another

The Detroit Pistons appear to be on a crash course for another top-5 pick in the NBA Draft. If the ping-pong balls fall the Pistons’ way, the team will be rewarded with a potentially generational talent in Victor Wembanyama. But what if the Pistons get the No. 2 overall pick? Victor Wembanyama is one of

The Detroit Pistons were hopeful that starting center Jalen Duren would be available for Thursday’s game against the Chicago Bulls being played in France after the rookie sat the previous five games with an ankle injury. One big problem — Duren isn’t in France with the Pistons. It seems that the 19-year-old rookie lost his

The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. Omari and I take a look at the past week’s slate of games for the Detroit Pistons that started out with

Hey everyone! This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s podcast, Jack Kelly, Ben Gulker, and I talk about your 12-34 Detroit Pistons. Ben and I discuss Hamidou Diallo’s huge impact on the team playing small, Nerlens Noel staying ready, me getting myself in trouble tweeting about Jaden Ivey, and how

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,
