Detroit Bad Boys

In case you were busy doing other things on MLK Day like you should have been, the Pistons played a game against the Washington Wizards and actually won. And it wasn’t just a win that they squeaked out by the skin of their teeth, but it was a double digit win! Now, the Wizards are

The recent trade between the Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards didn’t only shuffle multiple players and draft picks from one team to another, it reunited two brothers under one NBA team’s umbrella. On Sunday, Washington sent Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala to the Pistons for Marvin Bagley III, Isaiah Livers, and two second-round picks, as

I’ve watched a lot of bad basketball this season. I’ve watched it live. I’ve taken copious notes. I’ve written recaps published minutes after the buzzer. But today, with the Detroit Pistons facing the Washington Wizards at 3 p.m. ET on MLK Day, I was busy working. I missed the game. I missed a Pistons victory.

Two franchises with combined win totals that wouldn’t even put them in contention for the play-in tournament are shuffling a fe deck chairs on their respective Titanics. The Detroit Pistons, sinking fast, are sending Marvin Bagley, Isaiah Livers, and two future second-round picks to the Washington Wizards for veteran bigs Danilo Gallinari and Mike Muscala.

The Houston Rockets have been neck and neck in the standings for years. Until this year, that is. That is when the Detroit Pistons decided to do next to nothing to improve a 17-win roster, and the Rockets decided to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on NBA veterans. The Rockets sit at .500 and

The consensus for the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft is that it is weaker than previous years, lacking a clear No. 1 prospect. That may be true at this point, but in every draft, some great players can change the direction of a franchise; they just have to be identified. While there is still a long

As I alluded to in the title, this matchup will be another Pistons-Rockets game in which one of Cade Cunningham or Jalen Green has missed the game. The two players will be forever tied together as the number 1 and number 2 picks in the 2021 Draft, but they will now only have faced off

Losing to a five-win San Antonio Spurs team is bad enough. The worst part of the night was just how thoroughly uncompetitive it was. The Spurs outclassed the Detroit Pistons from the jump ball in their 130-108 blowout win over Detroit. The only questions, really, are, how was it ever expected to work, and when

The consensus for the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft is that it is weaker than previous years, lacking a clear No. 1 prospect. That may be true at this point, but in every draft, some great players can change the direction of a franchise; they just have to be identified. While there is still a long

For one quarter, the Detroit Pistons were fun. Then came the rest. The Pistons jumped out to a massive early lead on Tuesday thanks to some incredible shooting. Those offensive fireworks eventually cooled and the Kings roared back, leaving the Pistons dazed and confused into the middle of the second half. Detroit rallied a few

The Detroit Pistons officially released a medical update on point guard Cade Cunningham. It reads in full, “An MRI performed yesterday on Pistons guard Cade Cunningham confirmed a left knee strain. Cunningham will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days and an update will be provided as appropriate.” Cunningham left Sunday’s game in the second quarter and

Each and every game, the Pistons have very minimal hope of winning. And that is with Cade Cunningham playing at a very high level. If you haven’t heard yet, Cade Cunningham is out for the next 7-10 days due to a knee strain suffered against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. This means an already not

Update: Minutes after I first published this report, Shams Charania together with James Edwards III of The Athletic reported that the Detroit Pistons believe star point guard Cade Cunningham has avoided serious injury. Posting on social media, Charania writes that “Cunningham could miss at least a few games.” The original story follows. While there is

The Detroit Pistons were down just two against the NBA Champion Denver Nuggets when Cade Cunningham checked out with 6:21 left in the second quarter. That was the end of the good news for the Pistons, who lost to the Nuggets 131-114 and lost Cunningham for who knows how long with a left knee strain.

Cade Cunningham was subbed out with 6:21 in the second quarter and never returned for the Detroit Pistons in their game against the Denver Nuggets. At halftime, the team announced Cade Cunningham was out for the rest of the game with a left knee strain. Things seemed a bit off for Cunningham in his limited

The Detroit Pistons couldn’t lock in on defense or contain Steph Curry, who scored Golden State’s final 11 points, eventually falling 113-109. Cade Cunningham dominated the game, getting anything he wanted against the Golden State Warriors. He had almost single-handedly brought the Pistons back from an 11-point deficit in five minutes. In that span, Cade

As the calendar shifts from December to January and with the Feb. 8 trade deadline just over a month away, we have officially entered slop season. The rumors, reports, and multi-sourced primers will be coming in a deluge for the next 30 days. Today, there are a bevy of reports on some familiar names and

The Warriors are a desperate team coming off a 4th quarter collapse last night against the Nuggets, which means the Pistons are going to receive a strong effort from a team that has been disappointing so far this season. The Pistons have played the Warriors pretty well the last few years, but I don’t think
