The Pistons finally play basketball again. I don’t really have any major issues with the NBA Cup, but this weird break they give teams due to the knockout round of the tournament is one of the things I don’t like. It was necessary for the Pistons, who have played a ton of games early on

The Detroit Pistons are currently 10-15, tied with the Indiana Pacers and Chicago Bulls as the 11th seed in the Eastern Conference. They are only a half behind the 8th-seeded Brooklyn Nets at 10-14. Considering this team reached double-digit wins on Dec. 10, a full three months ahead of last year’s team, it’s clear Detroit

The Detroit Pistons, with three days between games for only the second time this season, traveled to New York to take on the Knicks. Ausar Thompson did not play due to a sore groin (left adductor soreness) and New York was without Karl Anthony Towns and Cam Payne. The basketball gods shined down upon the

When Trajan Langdon took over as the new president of the Detroit Pistons, his priorities were clear. Add players who could shoot. Add players who you could rely on to play. For a team that ranked 24th in offense and among the league’s leaders in missed games, it all made perfect sense. Tobias Harris and

The Pistons really soiled themselves against the Bucks and the Celtics. But it’s not all bad… even though the beginning of this podcast starts that way. Blake and Wes break down the simple thing the Bucks did to generate all those wide open threes, and how the Celtics immediately followed suit. But as a silver

Yesterday, the Detroit Pistons allowed the Milwaukee Bucks to shoot 56% from 3 and make a season-high 23 shots from the perimeter. Tonight, they face the Boston Celtics. Gulp. Boston puts up an NBA-leading 50.9 three-pointers per game, six more than the closest team. Detroit, meanwhile, ranks 28th in three-point percentage allowed, at nearly 38%

It’s not going to get any easier. After getting shot out of the Little Caesars Arena by a scorching Milwaukee Bucks team, the Detroit Pistons take on the 50-3-a-game Boston Celtics. The defending champs defeated Detroit 124-118 in a highly competitive contest on Oct. 26. The Pistons want to get back on the positive side,

The Detroit Pistons are not going to Las Vegas. Facing the Milwaukee Bucks with a chance to clinch a bid in the NBA Cup’s Knockout Rounds, you could make a pretty good argument that this was the biggest basketball game in Detroit since Game 4 of the 2019 NBA Playoffs — ironically, also against Milwaukee.

It feels weird hyping up a regular season basketball game in early-December, but the NBA created the In-Season Tournament to add some intrigue to regular season games and that is exactly what we are getting. Whoever wins this game locks in their spot in Vegas for the NBA Gold Cup knockout round. Whoever loses still

The Detroit Pistons are officially one-quarter of the way through the season. It feels like there’s a consensus out there that the first quarter of the schedule is the first time there’s a big enough sample size to truly understand NBA teams. Let’s use the first 21 games of this season to see how JBB’s

Pregame thoughts: After their best win of the season last night against Indiana, the Detroit Pistons looked to repeat that performance against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Pistons are playing in their league-leading 22nd game, while it’s only Philly’s 18th game of the season – Detroit is on another stretch of three games in four nights.

After an intense, high-scoring win against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night in Emirates NBA Cup action, the Pistons turn around and face the Philadelphia 76ers at Little Caesars Arena on the second end of a back-to-back. The Sixers have been off since a Nov. 27 overtime loss to the Houston Rockets. The loss was

The Pistons are playing meaningful basketball in December! Wes and Blake are here to break down exactly why the pressure that comes with a win-or-go-home game could be so valuable to this young team, regardless of the outcome. They also break down the exciting adjustment JB Bickerstaff has made to put Ausar Thompson in great

The Detroit Pistons took on the Indiana Pacers in their third NBA Cup game after starting 2-0 in group play. Detroit enters tonight as losers in four of its past five games, and Indiana has won its last three. In other words, it was a bounce-back spot for the Pistons as they looked to right

If you’re a Detroit Pistons’ old head, you’ll remember their down and dirty rivalry with the Indiana Pacers in the early 2000s. Everyone remembers The Block and Malice at the Palace, but these teams were the cream of the crop in the East for about five years. I was a teenager during those glory years,

The Pistons and Grizzlies both enter this game on a high note. For the Pistons, it was a buzzer beater shot by Jaden Ivey to steal a win against the Toronto Raptors. For the Grizzlies, it is a three game winning streak. If there is a silver lining to facing a Grizzlies team that is

One thing was for certain: the Detroit Pistons were not going to let an offense rebound dictate the outcome of this game. With the score tied at 100 and the clock sitting at 22 seconds, the Pistons gave Jaden Ivey the ball and asked him to win the game. Ivey obliged by hitting a an

The Detroit Pistons will be without star point guard Cade Cunningham tonight. That leaves a lot of playmaking and guard rotation questions as the Pistons face one of the top defenses in the NBA. Can they survive for 48 minutes playing real, modern basketball? We shall see. Game Vitals When: 7 p.m. ETWhere: Kia Center,

After suffering a gut-wrenching loss to the Charlotte Hornets, the Cade Cunningham-less Detroit Pistons take on the surging Orlando Magic. The Magic are without All-Star forward Paolo Banchero, while Cunningham is out with a pelvis injury for Detroit. These teams play a similar brand of ball, and injuries robbed fans of a potential classic duel.

After the Pistons loss in overtime to the Charlotte Hornets, the team ranks 11th in team defensive rating. Is that sustainable or just a flash in the pan? Blake and Wes break down the stats and discover what simple things are driving the team’s defensive turnaround. They also discuss the incredible impact Isaiah Stewart has
