Detroit Bad Boys

Congratulations, Dwane Casey, you’re no longer the head coach of the Detroit Pistons. You had an amazing five-year run where you did everything this rebuilding franchise asked of you. Now it is time for you to enjoy a healthy pay check, better hours, and more time with your family and friends as a member of

While the Detroit Pistons are as deep in the basement as they can, but are still able to play spoiler down the stretch. They gave the Miami Heat all they could handle for 43 minutes last night and have another chance to make things uncomfortable for an Eastern Conference playoff hopeful in the Brooklyn Nets,

If you were one of the few fans sticking around to the bitter end to this disappointing Detroit Pistons season, you were treated to the Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren show. While this season has been a bitter, miserable slog, the two Pistons rookies have been an unequivocal bright spot this season, and they are

Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver would like the fans to know he too is disappointed this season. The Detroit Pistons posted a letter written by the GM acknowledging this season’s difficulties while also thanking the fans for their “patience, trust, loyalty and support.” You can read the full letter on nba.com. I’d say that

Game 79. We are now officially in the final week of the 2022-23 Detroit Pistons schedule. Praise be. With only four games to play and top lottery odds all but secured, there’s little to watch for if you are a Pistons fan. However, I’ve tried my best to come up with three things to keep

The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. Omari and I did a live, and in person, recording at the HopCat Detroit for episode 60 as my wife, Rani,

The Orlando Magic thoroughly pummeled the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. It was mostly bad, but not all bad. After all, potential future Pistons star Victor Wembanyama did this earlier in the day: That’s about the only highlight I can provide… because the Pistons 128-102 loss in Orlando was the kind of game that never

The Detroit Pistons face the Orlando Magic tonight. Let’s talk about it. I’m belatedly writing this at halftime with the Pistons facing down a 19-point deficit against a young, superior Magic team. Detroit only managed to convert on three field goals in the entire second quarter. It’s as bleak as could be. Orlando is hitting

Much has changed since I fell in love with the NBA almost 25 years ago. But one thing I’ll always remember is the Sacramento Kings. With Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Peja Stojakovic and Vlade Divac, the Kings were one of the most fun teams in the league. For Pre-Teen Brady, it was basketball heroine. They

The bad news is the Detroit Pistons dropped the most winnable game on their remaining schedule, falling 121-115 to the Houston Rockets. The good news, if you’re looking for it, is that the loss nearly cements Detroit’s status as the team who will finish with the worst record in the NBA. Therefore, Detroit is not

It is not very often that you get a late-season matchup of teams with under 20 wins that is so meaningful for both teams. As things stand, the Pistons sit at 16 wins and the worst record in the NBA. The Rockets sit at 18 wins and the 2nd worth record in the NBA. Both

With all due respect to “The Process” iteration of the Philadelphia 76ers, tanking in the NBA may have a new poster child. Since the beginning of the 2019-20 season, no team has a lower winning percentage than the Detroit Pistons. That has resulted in the team acquiring several intriguing players through the draft. For Detroit,

Jaden Ivey just completed perhaps his best week as an NBA basketball player. In his past four games, Detroit’s fifth overall pick has averaged 23.3 points on 43/41/91 shooting splits and distributed 7.5 assists for good measure. Following the early season injury to Cade Cunningham, Ivey was begrudgingly thrust into a starting point guard role

Post-All-Star break means it is officially the 2023 NBA Draft season for the Detroit Pistons and for Pistons fans. In that spirit, Detroit Bad Boys is sharing weekly articles and prospect breakdowns from our own Bryce Simon, who is analyzing prospects for Sports Illustrated’s Draft Digest. This week, Bryce explores potential No. 2 overall pick,

The Detroit Pistons have been a bad team for every month of this interminable, mostly miserable season. However, when the team decided to shut down veterans like Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks, the losing really went into overdrive. The Pistons have precisely one win in its past 19 games. For those who want to reminisce

There’s something about the Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder late in the season. It’s always fun. Sure, most times it’s fun because it’s two downtrodden teams muddying it up as they endure yet another year of rebuilding, but it’s fun! Tonight was no different as the Pistons traveled to take on the Thunder in

As the clock struck zero Monday night, a dejected Jaden Ivey stood underneath his own basket, bent over in frustration as his team fell to potential future NBA champions the Milwaukee Bucks. In the aftermath of the loss, the Detroit Pistons’ talented rookie was intent on highlighting both the team and his own attention to

To say the Thunder’s rebuild has gone better than the Pistons so far would be an understatement. The Pistons are capping off another bottom 5 finish while the Thunder find themselves in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race. Granted, the Thunder did have more assets to trade to start their rebuild, but the

Two things can be true. First, Detroit Pistons fans can’t wait for this season to be over. Second, as soon as the offseason arrives, we’ll all be anxious for it to be over. To help us make it through yet another summer without Pistons basketball, and to cover what is bound to be one of
