Well, that was a Detroit Pistons basketball game, wasn’t it? It wasn’t one of those fun, “wow, the kids look great,” kind of games. It wasn’t one of those, “wow, the veterans are gonna win another game for no reason,” either. No, it was the worst of both worlds. Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee and Cory
The Detroit Pistons threatened to rally back from big deficits several times Thursday. But the San Antonio Spurs — and Derrick White — were ultimately too much for the Pistons to handle. The Spurs point guard White had 26 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and three blocks to hand the Pistons a 106-91 loss. Josh Jackson

In what will undoubtedly be a far cry from the matchups we saw 16 years ago, the Detroit Pistons visit the San Antonio Spurs in a game that means very different things to each team. Detroit has no real motivation to win games the rest of the year while San Antonio seeks to hold onto
Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) goes solo to talk about Killian Hayes’ improvement since his return, Isaiah Stewart’s lack of limitations, and some NBA Draft talk. That led to some unstructured rambling about: Damian Lillard shooting with his abs Kai Jones dunking everything in sight Laz’s Perfect Pistons Team; Killian Hayes, Evan Mobley, and three Saddiq Beys
Cory Joseph missed Monday’s game due to a bout with bronchitis. One probably wouldn’t have guessed that, judging by his performance Wednesday against the Dallas Mavericks. Joseph had one of his best games as a Detroit Piston, scoring 24 points, dishing five assists, grabbing five rebounds and making nine of his 15 shots. He helped Detroit

The Detroit Pistons shot the ball well in Dallas but fell 127-117 as they couldn’t overcome Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson’s first-half onslaught. Detroit shot just over 50% overall and 40% from 3-point territory for the game, but their defense could not slow the Mavericks. Detroit’s offense was clicking on all cylinders with a 36-point
In their last game against the Dallas Mavericks, the Pistons didn’t have an answer for Luka Doncic, who had 41 points and a triple-double. Not much has changed; they still don’t have an answer for him. Doncic didn’t quite have a triple-double, but he proved tough to defend, leading the Mavericks to a 127-117 victory
The Detroit Pistons got several of their key players back in time for a tough road game against the Dallas Mavericks. Luka Doncic, though, made sure his squad, which is in the Western Conference playoff hunt, left the building with a win. Doncic nearly had a triple-double with 30 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists,
Every game makes me more and more impressed with what Isaiah Stewart is doing on the court. He’s rebounding better, maintaining some excellent efficiency as a big man who takes advantage of second-chance opportunities and easy looks, and he’s showing increasingly solid footwork and range on his jump shot. I’m not sure what he can
Isaiah Stewart was going for a rebound against the Cleveland Cavaliers this week and seemed to jump for the ball three times before the defender had jumped once. He’s been doing it all season, but the instances of those kind of energy plays are becoming daily occurrences rather than anomalies. It looks like that’s part of
April 21st 2021 at 5:26pm CST by Dana Gauruder Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff will miss Wednesday’s game against Chicago due to personal reasons, the team tweets. Assistant Greg Buckner will fill in for Bickerstaff, who is expected to return for the team’s road game against Charlotte on Friday. Cleveland remains on the fringe of the
In a piece on ESPN+, NBA and prospect evaluators Kevin Pelton and Mike Schmitz each compiled a list of top-10 rookies based on future potential, and wouldn’t you know it, Detroit Pistons rookies Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart both made the cut. For the 16th and 19th picks, respectively, that is good. Very good. Pelton,
