Many of the top teams contending for the NBA title have a roster stocked with former Pistons players. The defending-champion Los Angeles Lakers have a few and the Brooklyn Nets have a couple.

Arn Tellem | Detroit Free Press Earlier this month baseball commissioner Rob Manfred pulled this summer’s All-Star Game and the league’s amateur draft out of Atlanta in response to sweeping changes to Georgia’s voting law that critics say will disenfranchise Black and Latino voters and threaten our democracy. President Joe Biden described the law, which makes
To the casual observer – and at the risk of using “casual” in any sentence with rambunctious rookie Isaiah Stewart as the subject – it’s been easier to spot the offensive evolution of the Pistons 19-year-old center than it has his growth defensively.
It wasn’t a big surprise when Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver decided to trade Luke Kennard last November. Kennard, the 12th overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft, had become a productive, sweet-shooting starting wing. But knee tendinitis limited him to 28 of 66 games the previous season, and he was set to enter free agency
If the only clue you were given nearing the midway point of the third quarter about how the game was going was that the Clippers were shooting 72 percent, how much would you have guessed the Pistons deficit would be?
At the end of a week-long western road trip, there’s almost an expectation that the Pistons would let down. Increasing the degree of difficulty was that it was the second game of a back-to-back, against one of the best teams in the Western Conference, and without their best players. The Pistons didn’t just stay with the
For the end of a long road trip, the Pistons’ effort against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday night is to be commended. A loss is still a loss, but some losses can provide lessons that can help a team improve later this year or even into next year. It seems that the Pistons are
The Detroit Pistons had multiple reasons to phone it in against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. They were without their leading scorer, Jerami Grant, for the third straight game. It was the second night of a back-to-back on the schedule. It was also the final game of a five-games-in-seven nights road trip with difficult
Three quick observations from Sunday night’s 131-124 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers at Staples Center QUITE THE FIGHT – Wrapping up a five-game, weeklong Western Conference road swing with a back to back against two of the NBA’s most potent offenses seemed a recipe for a long night. The Pistons nearly made it one…
Pistons second-year forward Sekou Doumbouya has earned more playing time in recent games, serving as a key cog in the team’s rotation this past week. The 20-year-old saw just over 23 minutes of action on Monday, nine minutes on Tuesday, 13 minutes on Thursday, and nearly 23 minutes on Saturday. He finished with 11 points
There’s something to be said for the Pistons in the MOET Index. It’s not some complicated advanced-statistics formula to break down a player’s value in comparison to others around the league. It’s just a simple “My Own Eye Test” gauge that doesn’t rely on statistics, but just what’s apparent by watching the game. For most
Arn Tellem | Special to Detroit Free Press During his first six seasons in Detroit, Ben Wallace’s hair was something to behold. Though he was listed as 6 feet 9, he says at least two inches of that was actually his untamed Afro. From 2000-06, Pistons fans were so crazy about his wild coiffure that they
To some degree, the Pistons’ western road trip already is a success, with two victories, over the Oklahoma City Thunder and Sacramento Kings. One more win would give them a winning record in a difficult stretch of games. It didn’t come against the Portland Trail Blazers. Enes Kanter had a historic night and as usual,
