Detroit Bad Boys

The Detroit Pistons are making history. Just the wrong kind. I dunno about you all, but I’ll remember where I was the day Detroit established a new franchise low by losing their 22nd-straight game. I was at home, on my couch, addressing Christmas cards with my wife while sipping on egg nog and watching the

I am sure everybody had a great time on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers while watching Joel Embiid shoot 12 free throws, 10 of which came in the 1st half. But hey, at least the Pistons held Tyrese Maxey to 9 points on 2-of-13 shooting. Surely it was their defense and not a bad shooting

The Detroit Pistons were outmatched from the opening whistle, and the Sixers made short work of their opponent without breaking much of a sweat in the 129-111 Detroit defeat. Joel Embiid could effortlessly do anything he wanted on the floor. Emphasis on anything, and emphasis on effortlessly. He finished the night with 41 points and

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson made his return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench for four games. In just one outing, he did what needed to be done to solidify his standing there. In the four bench games, Thompson totaled just 17 points, never hitting more than two shots and never playing

The Detroit Pistons are still losing, and I’m not sure they know how to stop it. Or, maybe they do know how to make it stop, but they don’t really have the talent to pull it off. Ironically, a team that has been a running joke for years related to its predilection for centers doesn’t

If you were a Detroit Pistons fans, the team’s 123-91 throttling at the hands of the Orlando Magic was a disappointment. If you were a fan of a Michigan college team, well, hey, all five of the Magic’s players with Michigan ties outscored Pistons starter Isaiah Stewart and Michigan alum Isaiah Livers combined.

The Detroit Pistons have lost 18 games in a row with an NBA record losing streak firmly in site. The Pistons face the surging Orlando Magic tonight on the road. Detroit is also now down its starting center, Jalen Duren, who suffered an ankle sprain that will keep him out of the lineup for at

Jalen Duren is expected to miss two weeks with a sprained left ankle, as first reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic. Duren rolled his ankle late in the fourth quarter during the Pistons 116-102 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, their 18th loss in a row. He appeared in immediate pain as he quickly grabbed

The Detroit Pistons’ epic losing streak is going to come to an end someday. Tonight was a good night for it. The struggling Memphis Grizzlies — sans Ja Morant, Steven Adams, Luke Kenner and Marcus Smart — arrived at Little Caesars Arena and looked like the Pistons’ best chance at that much, much, much, much

The Pistons and Grizzlies have both been bad this season. The reasons for each team being bad are somewhat similar, as both teams have been plagued by injuries in the early parts of the season. The Grizzlies also have to deal with the suspension of Ja Morant, which has caused even more issues for them.

The NBA G League announced today that Motor City Cruise head coach Jamelle McMillan was named Coach of the Month for November. He led the team to a 4-0 start, the best in the organization’s early history. The team went 6-2 overall throughout the month. In his first year as head coach, his team has

The Detroit Pistons are a bad basketball team. I think we can all agree on that. Even the team itself has been extremely open about how it is not meetings its own expectations, and voiced issues with an inability to handle adversity, to lock in on both ends, and to put players in optimal situations

The Detroit Pistons welcome Bojan Bogdanovic back to the lineup, and he greeted his teammates with a 22-point performance, including three three-pointers. Alas, it wasn’t enough to end the Pistons’ franchise-record losing streak, as they fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers 110-101. While Bojan delivered exactly as expected, the Pistons still have glaring deficiencies. They couldn’t

The Detroit Pistons radically remade its starting lineup Thursday against the New York Knicks in an effort to end the team’s 15-game losing streak. They started Isaiah Livers and Killian Hayes in place of rookie Ausar Thompson and Jaden Ivey. It didn’t work. They lost 118-112. But they did look a bit more functional, and

What started as one of the most bizarre and frustrating games of the Detroit Pistons’ bizarre and frustrating season ended as one of the more normal games of the season. Monty Williams changed up the starting lineup, played guys who hadn’t seen the floor in several games and tried a bit of everything, but ultimately,

For a guy who has sat through 15 years of mediocrity and has endured nearly every game of the past four years of tanking, I’ve had a hard time dragging myself to the couch lately to endure yet another hair-pulling Detroit Pistons loss. Obviously, I am frustrated — all Pistons fans are. However, I am

The Detroit Pistons top scorer from a year ago, and the one player who could be most critical to helping the team end its franchise-record 15-game losing streak, could be nearing a return. Bojan Bogdanovic, who averaged 21.6 points and shot 41% from three on six attempts per game one season ago, is nearing his
