I fear what Anthony Davis is going to be able to accomplish today against the Detroit Pistons. I fear what Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick will be able to scheme up to create open looks and clear driving lanes for his team. I always fear LeBron James. I’m not sure how excited I am

The Detroit Pistons put on a defensive masterclass in the second half in their 106-92 victory against the Brooklyn Nets, holding their opponent to just 35 points. Detroit looks to build on that defensive momentum as they face their toughest individual task to date: stopping Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers. Game Vitals When:

For more than a decade, the Detroit Pistons seem to be the home of depressing stats. But you know what they say: depressing records were made to be broken. One particular record fell on Sunday evening — the Pistons and the Detroit Lions won on the same day for the first time since 2021. Yes,

After an early season blowout to the New York Knicks, the Detroit Pistons jump on a flight to New York to take on another Atlantic division foe, the Brooklyn Nets. Detroit came out flat Friday night after snagging their first win of the season vs the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. After the Knicks punched them

There was not a lot of fun to be had for the Detroit Pistons last night in their blowout loss to the New York Knicks – but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn from the tape to see where the Pistons need to improve. JB Bickerstaff seems to think our defense has to improve from

On a morning episode of The Pindown, Blake and Wes dive into the past two weeks over some caffeinated morning beverages. They discuss what has been so impressive about the pairing of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey, and why the strides both have made defensively say more about JB Bickerstaff than either player. They also

It was bad – everything was bad. For the Detroit Pistons and for Pistons fans. It was the kind of game that had people saying “goodnight” to each other in the game thread after the first quarter. The Pistons were down 26 (!) points after the game’s first 12 minutes. They actually earned a puppy

Let’s start with the obvious. Cade Cunningham has a turnover problem. The Detroit Pistons point guard began the season averaging 5.6 in his first five games, including 9 against Cleveland, 7 against Boston, and 5 in his last outing against Miami. It’s not a trend that’s new either. Last season, Cade averaged 5.3 turnovers through

After notching their first win of the season in Philadelphia against the 76ers on Wednesday, the Detroit Pistons return to action tonight at home against the New York Knicks. Blessed with injury luck with both Joel Embiid and Paul George out for Philly, they might get another favorable draw with Karl-Anthony Towns’ status up in

Tobias Harris got the last laugh. The most hated man in Philadelphia on Wednesday night, Harris and the Pistons came into their game against the 76ers in search of their first win of the season. With each touch, the fans at the Wells Fargo Center booed. And booed. And booed some more. Harris, who has

Deep down, basketball is a simple game. If you make open shots and take care of the ball, you’ll win more often than you’ll lose. If you turn the ball over and miss those open shots, well, you’ll be the Detroit Pistons. We’re a week into the regular season and the Pistons are winless at

The winless Detroit Pistons have already experienced their fair share of mishaps through four games. Tobias Harris and Simone Fontecchio need to shoot better from deep, Cade Cunningham has to get his turnovers under control, and most players need to show improvement on the defensive end. One of the most head-scratching concepts this season is

The Detroit Pistons took a visit to South Beach to take on the Miami Heat as they work through the league’s hardest schedule through the first three games. It’s strange how this team can look like a real NBA team and other times they look like the high school JV team I used to coach.

The Detroit Pistons look to get in the win column as they travel to South Beach to take on the gritty Miami Heat. Detroit is tasked with cracking a defense that ranked fifth overall last season, anchored by the mind of two-time champion Erik Spoelstra and First-Team All-Defense member Bam Adebayo. The Pistons pushed the

A spirited effort and a huge comeback was not enough as the Detroit Pistons fell to the Boston Celtics 124-118. The Pistons gave the defending champions everything they had in the second half, but it just wasn’t enough. But it was a fight, and early in the game, it didn’t look like that was even

Fresh off a pretty lopsided loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Detroit Pistons enter the midpoint of their brutal six-game opening-season stretch by facing the Boston Celtics on the second night of back-to-back. The Celtics have started the season blisteringly hot. They beat each of their first two opponents by at least 20 points. The

Two games. Two losses. Now, here come the defending NBA champs as the Boston Celtics head to Little Caesars Arena, hoping to continue their sharp start to the new season. The Pistons head back to Detroit after a quick and unsuccessful trip to Cleveland. Detroit’s 113-101 loss to the Cavaliers felt pretty grim. After two

The Detroit Pistons took a quick road trip to Cleveland in hopes they could use The Casey Effect for JB Bickerstaff in his first matchup with his former team. There were 11 lead changes in the first half as both teams battled, but a Cavs 17-7 run late in the second quarter had the Pistons

The NBA schedule definitely has some interesting quirks. Sometimes, you go months without playing teams from your division, and others, you start off your season with your first two games against divisional rivals and one features your current head coach going against his former team. After a tough loss on opening night to the Indiana

The Pistons are back and better than ever! Well, maybe not better than ever. But they did look better than they did last year in game 1. Wes and Blake take a deep dive into Cade Cunningham’s big night and the impact the Pacer’s early pressure on him had for the rest of the roster.
