It’s All Star Weekend and the Pistons have absolutely surged into the break. Blake and Wes break it all down as they talk some shop with the dunk contest and Friday’s rising stars tournament. They also discuss a few examples of Cade’s growing star power in the NBA — a fitting conversation for an All

Cade Cunningham is entering his first All-Star game at a time when the game itself has never looked more different. The fourth-year guard is playing in the NBA All-Star game’s new multi-team tournament format. He is the first Piston player to make the All-Star team since Blake Griffin in 2019. In prior years a player

NBA All-Star Saturday Night is the league’s signature event night, with various NBA stars competing in the Kia Skills Challenge, the Starry 3-point Contest and the AT&T Slam Dunk contest. For Detroit Pistons fans it’s also the night where they get to see their best player and *cough* fifth-best 3-point shooter Cade Cunningham compete in

Not all the Detroit Pistons are getting an extended break during All-Star weekend. Cade Cunningham is in in the big show, the NBA All-Star game on Sunday. His young teammate, second-year forward Ausar Thompson hopes to join him. First, he’ll have to win the NBA Rising Stars game, which is airing tonight on TNT and

The Detroit Pistons finished the unofficial first half of the season exactly how they wanted to. A 128-110 win over the Chicago Bulls, three games above .500 for the first time this season, and with real momentum as the lineup continues to gel. The game wasn’t as easy for Detroit as the 40-point win against

When you’re a team coming off one of the worst seasons in NBA history, a season when you set an NBA single-season record for most consecutive losses, league-wide and casual interest in the product you’re offering is going to be minimal at best. That was reflected in the national TV schedule prior to the start

Only one more game stands between us and the All-Star break. For the fans, it is the last meaningful 48 minutes of basketball for an extended period, with only some Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson All-Star festivities to distract us. For most of the players, it is near an extended break they can use to

The biggest mistake the Detroit Pistons can make is assuming that the Chicago Bulls team they will face tonight will look anything like the Bulls from the first half of yesterday’s game. Those Bulls couldn’t throw the ball into the ocean and were limited to 29 first-half points. Chicago might be a rebuilding team struggling

So, that was a lot of fun. With a much-deserved break coming soon due to the All-Star weekend, it’s important the Detroit Pistons don’t lose sight of the playoff picture and use every game as a stepping stone toward the 6th seed. If tonight was any indication, this team is hitting their stride in the

The NBA has some weird scheduling quirks, and one of the weirdest is back-to-back games against the same team. It doesn’t always happen, but every team seems to have at least one of these a season. I am sure it has to do with reducing travel during a long season by knocking out a couple

The thing about playing for seven teams in five years is that you’ve seen it all. That’s exactly why Trajan Langdon and JBB Bickerstaff wanted Dennis Schroder to become a member of the Detroit Pistons. The well-traveled point guard has started for years, come off the bench, captained young teams, and deferred to superstars. He’s

It wasn’t always pretty, and the Detroit Pistons didn’t always look like they were taking the game seriously, but they did enough to put away the overmatched Charlotte Hornets 112-102. The win moved Detroit above .500 (27-26) and 4-2 to end their homestand. Their two losses were by a combined five points. The Pistons were

The Pistons just acquired Dennis Schroeder, Lindy Waters III, and a couple of second round picks, so the guys thought they’d bring in an expert to break it all down. Laz Jackson joins Wes and Blake to discuss Schroeder’s play, his role for the rest of the season and if he changes the expectations for

The Detroit Pistons were determined not to let this game come down to the final shot—not after two back-breaking losses in consecutive games. A short-handed Pistons team without its engine, Cade Cunningham, worked together and stormed out of the gate to beat the Philadelphia 76ers 125-112. The Pistons scored a season-high 78 points and went

A member of the Detroit Pistons will compete in the NBA All-Star 3-point shooting contest, but it’s not the one everyone was expecting. Cade Cunningham is one of eight players selected to compete in the annual event during NBA All-Star weekend. Many Pistons fans were hoping that Malik Beasley, who is second in the NBA

After a trade deadline in which the Detroit Pistons added a much-needed secondary ball handler in Dennis Schroder, they now get to play their first and only ESPN game of the season (unless they get more added). Playing on ESPN isn’t that big of a deal for a team like the Philadelphia 76ers, but for

Depending on who you asked, the expectations for Trajan Langdon and the Detroit Pistons leading up to Thursday’s NBA trade deadline were all over. Some wanted to parlay the team’s surprising start to the season with a big move. Otherwise wanted to eat sin and take bad contracts for draft picks. Some were in the

The Detroit Pistons used the NBA Trade Deadline to fill its most glaring weakness, adding Dennis Schroder to fill the role of backup point guard. The deal means Schroder is being traded to his fourth and final team in 24 hours and his fifth franchise of the season. Schroder began the year playing solidly for

The NBA trade deadline is at 3 p.m. ET today, and the Detroit Pistons have already made a couple of moves. First, they netted a couple of second-round picks in exchange for defensive forward KJ Martin in a deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Next, they received Lindy Waters III and Josh Richardson from the Warriors

Jimmy Butler finally escaped from Miami and the Detroit Pistons were happy to be one of the five teams that were part of the deal that took him from South Beach to the Golden State Warriors. The Pistons received guards Lindy Waters III from the Warriors and Josh Richardson from the Miami Heat in what
