On episode 72 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Richard Stayman (known on twitter as @MavsDraft) who is the host of the Locked on NBA Draft Podcast. We start off the episode talking about some of the key pieces of the Pistons young core and what Richard saw from them coming

Cade Cunningham is accustomed to winning. As a high school senior, he was the best player on a stacked Montverde Academy (Florida) team that won all 25 of its games. As a college freshman last year, he led Oklahoma State to a 21-9 record — the team’s best winning percentage since 2013 — and to
Detroit — The Pistons are a different team when their shots are falling and they’re taking care of the ball. They’re pretty much the same team that they’ve shown all season when they turn the ball over and don’t shoot well. Those two extremes were the story of an encouraging first half, then a flip-the-script
Cade Cunningham had a career night, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Detroit Pistons from enduring one of their worst losses of the season. The Pistons led by 18 points in the first half, but fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder at home, 114-103, following a massive fourth-quarter effort by OKC. Cunningham scored a
We hear from Cade Cunningham after he puts up 28 points, 12 rebounds and five assists in Monday’s loss. #DetroitBasketball
We hear from coach Dwane Casey after his Pistons fade in the fourth quarter and fall to the Thunder 114-103. #ItsMillerTime
The Detroit Pistons surrendered 42 points and allowed the Oklahoma City Thunder to hit their first 15 shots in the fourth quarter en route to OKC’s 114-103 come from behind win at Little Caesars Arena. It was the Thunder’s first game since losing by an NBA record 73 points to the Memphis Grizzlies, and even
Rod Beard | The Detroit News Detroit — The Pistons honored the victims of the Oxford High School shooting by wearing special T-shirts during their pregame warmups on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena. In their first home game since last week’s school shooting, each of the Pistons players donned a white shirt with the high
It’s already (finally?) time for Detroit Pistons fans to start looking at who is being talked about as the top prospects in the 2022 NBA Draft. The team is currently in the running for the worst record in the NBA, and it’s hard to see how that won’t be the case all season without drastic
Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 4-18 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about the burgeoning chemistry between Cade Cunningham and Killian Hayes, the on-court struggles of Saddiq Bey, and a lot of Michigan football. This is now a college football
The Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder are not only the two worst teams in the NBA over the past 10 games, but they are both coming into tonight’s matchup shorthanded. The Pistons will be without Kelly Olynyk, Cory Joseph and Hamidou Diallo while the Thunder will be without the services of Shai Gilgeous Alexander.
Spurs forward Keldon Johnson was apparently almost drafted by the Cavaliers. Johnson discussed his near-selection in an interview with Shams Charania of The Athletic (Twitter video link). The Cavaliers instead opted to draft Dylan Windler with the No. 26 pick in the 2019 draft, while Johnson was ultimately drafted by San Antonio with the No.
The Pistons finished their disappointing western road trip with another close, but not-so-close loss in Phoenix. Their eighth-straight defeat was another exhibit in the difference between good teams and rebuilding teams in the NBA Of the eight losses, seven came against teams with a record of .500 or better. Each of the Pistons’ four victories
We’re just past the one-fourth mark of the NBA season, and some Detroit Pistons fans have already begun to look toward the future. It makes sense. The Pistons own the NBA’s worst record at 4-18. Some expected them to make a leap after going 20-52 last season and adding Cade Cunningham. Rebuilds are rarely that
When dealing with a team with so much youth, the rope has to be a little bit longer before you make any adjustments when players are struggling. The Detroit Pistons currently have a lot of players struggling. When it was 10 games into the season, any talk on changing the starting lineup was premature. Now
This film review will not be looking at Frank Jackson’s overall game in terms of what he brings on the defensive end or rebounding. Although, I do think it is worth noting that the Detroit Pistons reserve guard has seen his rebounding (Per 100 possessions) drop by almost 50% from last season while his defensive
By Steve Kornacki | Special to The Detroit News The Detroit Pistons just completed a five-game road trip with the worst record in the NBA at 4-18 and an eight-game losing streak. They rank last in field goal shooting percentage (.407), 3-point shooting (.299) and rebounding average (42.4). Detroit is 29th in points (98.9), 28th in assists (21.3)
Tyson Etienne is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound guard out of Wichita State University. Known primarily as a shooter, Etienne tested the draft waters last season before ultimately deciding to return to Wichita State where he look to lead the Shockers to an NCAA tournament appearance. Etienne will be in the running for best shooter in this
PHOENIX — Dwane Casey often preaches patience with this young Detroit Pistons roster. On Thursday, they faced a team that was where the Pistons currently are not long ago, and saw its patience pay off. During Devin Booker’s rookie season in 2015-16, the Phoenix Suns won 23 games. Twenty-four, 21 and 19-win seasons followed right
By Steve Kornacki | Special to The Detroit News The Detroit Pistons aren’t in the market for moral victories, but that’s what they got Thursday night against the Suns — who came out on top on the scoreboard, 114-103, in Phoenix. Detroit staged a comeback against the league’s winningest team before running out of offense in the
