Johnny Kane speaks with ex-Piston shooting guard John Long, who shares his thoughts on Bob Lanier’s rivalry with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
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
Detroit — Jalen Duren caught the ball about 12 feet from the basket and comfortably turned around before nailing a fadeaway jumper. It was a shot that Duren might not have taken earlier in the season, but the Pistons’ rookie center is showing more versatility in his offensive game as he gains more comfort in
The NBA trade deadline is on Feb. 9. And many Detroit Pistons fans are looking beyond this season, thanks to the 12-36 overall record, setting them on pace to finish with fewer than 25 wins for the fourth straight season. This month’s Pistons mailbag will break down trade ideas submitted by fans and also look
The first half of the Pistons’ season has been a disappointment if you’re purely looking at the record. The team stands at 12-36, which is the second-worst in the Eastern Conference and the third-worst record in the NBA. That outcome is due to the combination of injury woes, poor defense, mental collapses — and, quite
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
The Pistons were long overdue for some payback against the Chicago Bulls. The franchise had lost 12 consecutive games to the Bulls over the last three seasons, ahead of Thursday’s international showdown in Paris, France. However, even more than 4,000 miles across the world, the outcome was the same. Detroit’s payback will have to wait
The Detroit Pistons have enjoyed plenty of highlights in Paris this week. But their matinee game against the Chicago Bulls at Accor Arena fell flat. The Pistons (12-36) were blown out by the Bulls, 126-108. Detroit struggled on both ends of the floor, shooting just 40.2% overall and 23.5% (8-for-34) from 3 while allowing the

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
