Detroit Bad Boys

A frustrated fan base seemingly wants big changes for the Detroit Pistons. They wanted big changes at the deadline — either a big swing for an established player or selling off quality vets for future draft capital to package in future deals. Neither happened. Rumors swirled around some of Detroit’s veteran players like Bojan Bogdanovic,

Let’s stir the pot a bit, this might be Jerami Grant’s last game in Detroit as a visitor if you like to believe free agency rumors in the middle of the season. I am not making a prediction or anything, but there could be a reason why he hasn’t signed an extension with the Blazers

I simulated the draft order on Tankathon precisely four times (in honor of Detroit’s 2004 championship) to pretty mixed results. First, the Detroit Pistons landed at No. 6, the furthest they can mathematically fall based on current standings. On second roll, they landed No. 1 and, presumably, Victor Wembanyama. Third time, Detroit got the second

When looking up the definition of “dog days” of a rebuild, it will now read ““the March 4th contest between the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers.” It was a night to forget for the Pistons as they lost big to the Cavaliers 114-90. Even short handed, it was turnovers and decision making that did in

Troy Weaver traded for James Wiseman with games like this in mind. The Detroit Pistons GM wanted more size. He thought the team needed enough big men to hang with the elites of the east, like the Cleveland Cavaliers. With Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen patrolling the paint, the Cavs are zigging while most of

When you lose Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, you’re bound to take a step back. However, I’m not sure many pegged the new-look Brooklyn Nets to be losers of six of seven games since Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson arrived in the big Durant swap. A team once built on stars traded them in so

The Detroit Pistons need big wings. Eugene Omoruyi fits the bill. The former Oklahoma City Thunder forward, who was waived earlier this week, has signed a 10-day deal with Detroit according to the team. It’s a solid shot by Troy Weaver at a position of need for the Pistons after the trade of Saddiq Bey.

Jaden Ivey pulled a Chris Webber. And he did it on C-Webb’s birthday. After rallying back from down 21 points, the Detroit Pistons had a chance to tie or take the lead against the struggling Chicago Bulls. Ivey, inbounding the ball without a timeout remaining, couldn’t find an angle to get Bojan Bogdanovic the ball.

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 a pair of freshmen in

Game 63. We are now officially on the home stretch, with only 20 games left in the 2022-2023 season. Tonight, the Pistons play host to their division rival; the Chicago Bulls. Though they enter tonight’s contest on the back of a 104-98 loss to the Toronto Raptors, the Bulls had been playing better since signing

The Detroit Pistons will honor the title-winning Detroit Shock team for its 20th anniversary during the March 9 contest against the Charlotte Hornets at Little Caesars Arena, the team announced. The Shock’s first title came one season after having the WNBA’s worst record. The team was led by WNBA Finals MVP Ruth Riley, Hall of

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 FINALLY dive head first into the 2023 NBA Draft with an emphasis in this episode on the top

What a weird game. For nearly three quarters, the Detroit Pistons were comatose. Down three starters — Jaden Ivey (personal), Bojan Bogdanovic (achilles), and Isaiah Stewart (hip) — against the Charlotte Hornets, the Pistons’ effort couldn’t have been worse. They couldn’t shoot. They wouldn’t defend. They were dead on arrival. Then, everything changed in the

The Detroit Pistons and center Nerlens Noel have completed a buyout and Noel is now free to sign with any club, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. After the Pistons were unable to swing a trade for Noel at the trade deadline, a buyout was the most likely outcome and by completing the buyout before

We have reached the point of the season where teams like the Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics are fighting for playoff positions and teams like the Detroit Pistons and Charlotte Hornets are suffering “injuries” in hopes of securing the best odds at the number 1 pick. It is all about evaluating young players and staying

Hey everyone! This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s podcast, we’re talking about your 15-46 Detroit Pistons. The All-Star Break is over, the calendar is about to turn to March, and Ben is out, so I talk to Steve Pelletier of the RezBall Substack and podcast about the his Big

Coming out of the All-Star break, the Detroit Pistons have a complicated task. On one hand, the Pistons should want to be as competitive as possible to close the season. On the other, there is the looming reality of the NBA Draft and the importance for Detroit to have the best chance possible to land

Jalen Duren is out and that means we will see a whole lot more of James Wiseman as the Detroit Pistons take on the Toronto Raptors tonight at Little Caesars Arena. That’s not a bad thing, as it’s a god opportunity to get a sense of what the big man can do with extended minutes

The Toronto Raptors are in town. Which means Little Caesar’s arena will probably be littered with a healthy amount of Raptors fans, repping their black and red, or possibly purple colors, as they’ll likely execute acoustical dominance over your hometown Detroit Pistons fans. Unfortunately for Detroit, this has been par for the course for nearly
