The Detroit Pistons face the Orlando Magic tonight. Let’s talk about it. I’m belatedly writing this at halftime with the Pistons facing down a 19-point deficit against a young, superior Magic team. Detroit only managed to convert on three field goals in the entire second quarter. It’s as bleak as could be. Orlando is hitting
I was browsing around the internet moments after the laughably bad Detroit Tigers avoided being no-hit, when a Victor Wembanyama highlight graced the timeline on Twitter. “Wait, what the heck did I just watch?” I thought to myself. So I watched the 13-second clip again. And again. And found another angle. And watched that again.
In the wee hours of Saturday morning, the NBA announced a tentative agreement with the National Basketball Players Association on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement, pending ratification by the players and team owners. Specific details weren’t released, but several reports of the league’s newest deal with the NBPA revealed a few items may affect the
Much has changed since I fell in love with the NBA almost 25 years ago. But one thing I’ll always remember is the Sacramento Kings. With Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Peja Stojakovic and Vlade Divac, the Kings were one of the most fun teams in the league. For Pre-Teen Brady, it was basketball heroine. They
HOUSTON — In late September, Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver declared the franchise had finally reached “ground zero.” The bad contracts were off the books, the roster was stocked with young talent and veteran leadership and the franchise was prepared to take a step forward after several years of work. Six months later —
We hear from coach Dwane Casey after the Pistons lose their eighth straight, 121-115 in Houston. #DetroitBasketball
HOUSTON — It’ll be a marquee weekend for basketball for Houston, as the city is hosting this year’s men’s basketball Final Four. But the weekend tipped off with a basketball game on the opposite end of the spectrum. The Detroit Pistons and Houston Rockets own the NBA’s two worst records, and faced off Friday night.
The bad news is the Detroit Pistons dropped the most winnable game on their remaining schedule, falling 121-115 to the Houston Rockets. The good news, if you’re looking for it, is that the loss nearly cements Detroit’s status as the team who will finish with the worst record in the NBA. Therefore, Detroit is not
Friday’s slate of NBA games included several matchups with playoff implications, but there was a battle between the teams with the worst records in the league being held in Houston. Both franchises will be in line this summer to secure a top-five pick to add to their young rosters, but their latest meeting was about
The clock is ticking on the Pistons and their 2022-23 campaign, and the final few games are all about tinkering with different lineups and combinations. Pistons coach Dwane Casey used a couple of three-guard lineups in Wednesday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rookie guard Jaden Ivey is playing with confidence down the final stretch
The BIG3, the 3-on-3 basketball league founded by rapper Ice Cube, will embark on its sixth season this summer, which includes a return to Little Caesars Arena in downtown Detroit. The league will tip-off at United Center Arena in Chicago on June 25 and will conclude its eight-week regular season in Detroit on Aug. 13
It is not very often that you get a late-season matchup of teams with under 20 wins that is so meaningful for both teams. As things stand, the Pistons sit at 16 wins and the worst record in the NBA. The Rockets sit at 18 wins and the 2nd worth record in the NBA. Both
Jaden Ivey has demonstrated enough during his rookie season to suggest he could be the perfect long-term partner for Cade Cunningham in the Pistons’ backcourt. When the Sacramento Kings shocked the draft world by selecting Keegan Murray over blue-chip speedster Jaden Ivey, Detroit Pistons fans rejoiced. Haha! The foolish Sacramento Kings have done it again!
With all due respect to “The Process” iteration of the Philadelphia 76ers, tanking in the NBA may have a new poster child. Since the beginning of the 2019-20 season, no team has a lower winning percentage than the Detroit Pistons. That has resulted in the team acquiring several intriguing players through the draft. For Detroit,
It has been six weeks since James Wiseman made his Detroit Pistons debut on Feb. 15. In those six weeks, the big man has played 468 minutes. It’s not a big number, yet it’s close to 30% of his career 1,566 minutes played since the Golden State Warriors drafted him No. 2 overall in 2020.
Jaden Ivey just completed perhaps his best week as an NBA basketball player. In his past four games, Detroit’s fifth overall pick has averaged 23.3 points on 43/41/91 shooting splits and distributed 7.5 assists for good measure. Following the early season injury to Cade Cunningham, Ivey was begrudgingly thrust into a starting point guard role
Post-All-Star break means it is officially the 2023 NBA Draft season for the Detroit Pistons and for Pistons fans. In that spirit, Detroit Bad Boys is sharing weekly articles and prospect breakdowns from our own Bryce Simon, who is analyzing prospects for Sports Illustrated’s Draft Digest. This week, Bryce explores potential No. 2 overall pick,
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Detroit Pistons enjoyed their best shooting night in more than a month. The ball moved freely, and the fourth quarter featured a slew of clutch 3-pointers that allowed them to keep pace with an upstart Oklahoma City Thunder team in the thick of the Western Conference play-in race without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander,
The Detroit Pistons have been a bad team for every month of this interminable, mostly miserable season. However, when the team decided to shut down veterans like Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, the losing really went into overdrive. The Pistons have precisely one win in its past 19 games. For those who want to reminisce
Thunder guard Jalen Williams has a lot of hair, and it was sopping wet after his teammates doused him with water after a game-winning tip-in. The consequence of being the hero. “It’s so wild already,” Williams said of his hair … “I’m not really gonna complain about the moment that happened to be able to
