The schedule has seemingly been relentless for the Detroit Pistons. Sunday brought a matchup against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, with the Miami Heat visiting on Tuesday. On Wednesday, they travelled to Milwaukee to take on the defending champs. The Pistons were able to shake off an early cold start, but the Milwaukee Bucks
The defending-champion Milwaukee Bucks don’t need any help in getting out to a big lead or getting their offense jump-started. The Pistons got off to a sluggish start and the Bucks raced to a 14-0 lead in the first three-plus minutes, but the game wasn’t over. The lead ballooned to as many as 17 points,
Former Suns point guard Elie Okobo, who was the No. 31 overall pick in the 2018 draft, has been out of the NBA since the 2019/20 season and is playing in France this year. However, the 24-year-old tells Dionysis Aravantinos of HoopsHype that he envisions himself returning stateside at some point — he’s just not
If you thought there was an end in sight for the Pistons in regards to their early-season schedule, you thought wrong. Granted, a team that was supposed to be near the bottom of the standings was bound to have any schedule look difficult because there aren’t a lot of teams in the league they are
On paper, the Detroit Pistons‘ losses have been games most would expect a rebuilding team to lose. Two against the Chicago Bulls. Two against the Brooklyn Nets. Two against the Philadelphia 76ers. One each against the Atlanta Hawks, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and so on. Only a handful of losses stick out as bad
This will be the third installment of “Film Don’t Lie” looking at Dwane Casey and his offensive sets and actions. If you missed out on the first two, I took a look at what we were seeing in the preseason and then checked in again after we had seen Cade Cunningham in just one game.
On episode 68 of the Motor City Hoops podcast I bring you my instant recap and reactions to the Pistons Tuesday night game vs the Heat. I will give my overall outlook on the game and a rundown of what we saw from the Pistons. I will also give my biggest takeaway, player of the
The Detroit Pistons have been outscored 70-33 in the past two fourth quarters. It’s no surprise that the team has lost both contests even as they entered the final frame with sizable leads in both games. In Sunday’s contest against the Los Angeles Lakers, the LeBron James-Isaiah Stewart scuffle and ejections weakened Detroit’s defense and
Collin Sexton‘s season-ending surgery has thrust Isaac Okoro into the spotlight for the Cavaliers, according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com. The 20-year-old Okoro has had a terrible start to the season shooting the ball, with a slash line of .369/.176/.720 through 11 games. The team doesn’t expect Okoro to replicate Sexton’s offensive output; it’s not

We hear from coach Dwane Casey after his Pistons suffer a 100-92 loss to the Heat on Friday, surrendering another fourth-quarter lead. #ItsMillerTime
Detroit — The Pistons were down two starters and coming off an emotional loss to the Lakers on Sunday. In their first game after the two-game suspension for Isaiah Stewart, they bounced back with a good performance. The problem is that it was only for the first three quarters. The Pistons led by as many
If the NBA only played three quarters, the Detroit Pistons would have back-to-back wins against contenders in both conferences. Unfortunately, there’s a fourth quarter. And the Pistons are still learning how to close it. Behind a big game from Tyler Herro, the Miami Heat completed a fourth-quarter comeback to beat the Pistons at Little Caesars
Jimmy Butler is on fire, Tyler Herro is scorching off the bench, and Bam Adebayo can do a little bit of everything. Oh yeah, and the Miami Heat also managed to add the two-way game of Kyle Lowry this offseason. And the Pistons will be starting … Trey Lyles and Cory Joseph. Jerami Grant and
Detroit — The start to the season has been a bit rockier than the Pistons had planned. They got a big boost after taking Cade Cunningham with the No. 1 pick, but several injuries since the start of the NBA Summer League have deflated their high hopes for jump-starting their rebuild. Cunningham missed most of
Cade Cunningham has had moments of brilliance through his first 11 NBA games with the Detroit Pistons. He has been unafraid with the ball in his hands during the final minutes of close games and has already come up clutch a handful of times. The talent and demeanor are clearly there to lead the Pistons back to the
On episode 67 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast, I am joined by Omari Sankofa, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. We start off the episode discussing the hottest topic around the Pistons (and NBA) which is the altercation between Isaiah Stewart and LeBron James on Sunday night. We then dive into
After an eventful game on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Detroit Pistons will look to bounce back from a tough loss as they play host to the Miami Heat. The Heat remade their roster a bit in the offseason and have gotten off to a great start. The Pistons have had a rough
Isaiah Stewart had a right to be mad. He didn’t have the right to channel it the way he did Sunday night at Little Caesars Arena. At least not according to Adam Silver, the NBA’s commissioner, who suspended the Detroit Pistons‘ second-year forward for two games for “escalating and aggressively pursuing” LeBron James after the Los Angeles Lakers’ superstar hit him in
