The Detroit Pistons fought hard but lost a competitive basketball game against the Utah Jazz. After Detroit was blown out in all of their losses for the last three weeks, the competitive nature of the loss was a small step in the right direction. The Pistons were in the game late. Down four with over

Detroit Pistons assistant coach Rex Kalamian has been named the new head coach of the Armenian national team, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. While this is his first season coaching with the Detroit Pistons, Kalamian is a well-traveled NBA veteran in coaching circles, serving stints with the Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets,

Rookies are almost always universally bad. Let’s put that fact on the table right away. Young players need time to develop, learn the speed of the NBA game and figure out how to be effective on the floor. They need time to get better, stronger and faster. That doesn’t mean they are bad or destined

There was a basketball game in Sacramento on Wednesday night. It wasn’t fun. Until it was. It was two teams — one trying like hell to make something of its season and another trying equally hard to land a top-three pick — playing one of the uglier high-scoring games you’ll see. It was high school

If you haven’t heard, Kelly Olynyk has been cleared to play and could be returning to action as early as tonight against the Sacramento Kings. He is officially listed as probable. Having Olynyk back will be a huge spark to the Detroit Pistons bench, but what if it could be a spark to the starting

The simple calculus for the Detroit Pistons is to draft the best player available. The team is still devoid of top-end talent and the end all, be all is to take the best player. But there are often many good players who have a wide array of talent. The next level of arithmetic is to

The Detroit Pistons visit the Sacramento Kings on the second night of a back-to-back. Detroit lost resoundingly a night ago to the Golden State Warriors and looks to rebound against a decidedly less formidable opponent. Killian Hayes’ status is in doubt after he left the Warriors game with a hip contusion. Kelly Olynyk is expected

The Detroit Pistons stumbled out of the gate early on the first of their four-game West Coast road trip falling behind by as many as 34 in the first half and eventually falling to the Golden State Warriors 102-86. Things were so easy for Golden State early that they started playing a little fast and

The NBA schedule tonight is light — just the Timberwolves vs. the Knicks and your Detroit Pistons facing off against the Golden State Warriors. The Pistons have gotten absolutely demolished by good teams (see Bulls, Chicago) and shocked great teams (see Bucks, Milwaukee). Which version are we in for tonight? I’m hoping for something at

The Jerami Grant rumor mill never seems to stop churning, but even I had to stop and take notice when Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report dropped a heater of a story centered on Jerami Grant, his trade value and even a little Ben Simmons. Fischer is well-connected throughout the league, and he’s dropped his fair

The Detroit Pistons visit the Golden State Warriors to begin a four-game West Coast road trip. The Pistons look to build on a strong 5-4 start to 2022 with another win against a top-tier opponent. Kelly Olynyk appears close to returning but is listed as questionable for the game. Frank Jackson and Jerami Grant are

Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk represent not only two of the most highly paid and talented members of the young Detroit Pistons. The two of them also represent more than 40% of the career NBA minutes played on the entire Pistons roster prior to this season. Both have seen extended absences due to injuries —

On episode 83 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Jared Greenberg of NBAonTNT & NBATV. We ask Jared what he thinks Jerami Grant’s true value is and what the Pistons may get in return. We also find out what the trade value could be for multiple other members of the Pistons

It is no surprise that second-year point guard Killian Hayes is the most polarizing member of the Detroit Pistons after an injury-marred an ineffective rookie year. What is most surprising is who might be second on that list — Trey Lyles. First, it’s a surprise he’s getting enough minutes to warrant a large amount of

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 10-32 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker returns to talk about whether the Pistons are a good bad team or a bad good team, Jerami Grant trade interest, the struggles of Isaiah Stewart, and the Bol Bol trade

In a game between two teams at the opposite end of the NBA standings, the Phoenix Suns managed to improve their NBA-leading record, defeating the Detroit Pistons 135-108. As most did not expect the now 10-32 Pistons to top the NBA’s best team, the story of this one for Pistons fans was that their star

Cade Cunningham delivered perhaps the highlight of his young career with a vicious dunk along the baseline, but the Detroit Pistons rookie didn’t have long to enjoy it because he was ejected from the game seconds later in controversial fashion. Before we get into the details, though, we should enjoy his dunk against the visiting

Fresh off an impressive victory against the Toronto Raptors, Detroit has it targets set on the league leading Phoenix Suns. The 10-31 Pistons have the chance to win back-to-back games for the third time in as many weeks. After winning a season-best 18 games in a row, the Suns have somewhat come back down to

The Raptors came into this game winners of 6 of their last 7 while the Pistons came off of a 46-point blowout loss to the Bulls on Tuesday. It seemed like the result of this one was already pre-determined, but the Pistons had other plans. There seem to be no rules when the Pistons face
