Detroit Bad Boys

The Detroit Pistons couldn’t find their defense or a second gear and the Denver Nuggets took advantage as they bested Detroit 134-121. The Nuggets used a 47-point third quarter to effectively put the game away, though Detroit’s bench players at least made it interesting, cutting the deficit to seven in the fourth quarter. This was

Jaden Ivey just hit a four-point-play game winner to seal a comeback against the Sacramento Kings, and Wes and Blake are here to break it all down. Along with that gut-check win against the Lakers, the guys discuss the return to form of Simone Fontecchio, Jaden Ivey’s heroics and how Cade Cunningham can have an

As I woke up this morning to see the craziness that was the Detroit Pistons’ furious comeback in Sacramento against the Kings on Thursday, it got me thinking. The dreaded west coast road trip has essentially been a nail in this franchise’s coffin for over a decade. No matter how encouraging of a start or

The Detroit Pistons scored 31 points in the final seven minutes, including a clutch four-point game-winning play from Jaden Ivey with 3.1 seconds remaining to snatch a victory from the Sacramento Kings 114-113. The Pistons’ comeback was fueled by a trio of fourth-quarter threes from Malik Beasley that gave them a puncher’s chance if they

There’s nothing like two middle-of-the-pack teams going at it a day after Christmas. A gift for all. These teams are eager to prove they can play on the big stage, too. The Detroit Pistons have been rolling prior to the Christmas Day slate. They’re riding a two-game winning streak over formidable foes and look to

The Detroit Pistons are learning how to make any team in the NBA sweat. That’s new for them. The Pistons are also experts at still making their fanbase sweat. They’ve perfected that art over the years. Despite building up an 11-point lead with 3 minutes remaining, it was a one-possession game with the ball in

Cade Cunningham is having a breakout year in season No. 4, and the NBA world is starting to take notice. Cunningham was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week behind averages of 27 points, 5.3 rebounds, 12.7 assists, 2.3 blocks, 1 steal, and a record of 2-1 for his team. It was the first

You need to win the gimmie games in the NBA, and the Detroit Pistons dropped their third game to a team eyeing Cooper Flagg or Dylan Harper. Add that Utah Jazz loss to the same boat as the crushing Charlotte Hornets defeats. Detroit needed to stop the now 6-20 Jazz when the next four games

The Pindown is back to discuss the Pistons’ recent overtime win over the Miami Heat and difficult loss to the Utah Jazz. Wes and Blake talk about the recent Paul Reed transactions which brought the big man back under a minimum contract. They also discuss Jaden Ivey’s best role with the team moving forward. Lastly,

It doesn’t matter if it’s against the best team in the NBA or the worst: when you dig yourself a massive hole early in a game, it’s hard to dig yourself out. The Detroit Pistons learned that the hard way against the lowly Utah Jazz on Thursday. In a game where they were favored and,

The Detroit PIstons host a struggling Utah Jazz team that should look familiar to any Pistons fan. A team full of young, developing, unproven players. Terrible efficiency on both ends. Pieces that do not fit together. Waiting for someone to become so good that it pushes everyone into more natural roles, but that day seems

The Detroit Pistons host the Utah Jazz tonight for their final home game of 2024 before they take off for a lengthy West Coast road trip to end the calendar year. Detroit’s upcoming road games feature the Phoenix Suns, LA Lakers, Sacramento Kings, and Denver Nuggets, all teams that will be competing to stay afloat

Malik Beasley has been a welcome addition to kick off this new era of the Detroit Pistons basketball under Trajan Langdon. On a team lacking three-point shooting, he has brought more on offense than one could’ve hoped and been the shining star in Trajan’s offseason focus on surrounding Cade with spacing for the first time

When former Duke University sharpshooter Trajan Langdon took over as president of basketball operations for the Detroit Pistons, he vowed to fix the Pistons’ woeful shooting. One of his first moves was signing nine-year veteran Malik Beasley to a one-year, $6 million contract. Beasley was one of the marksmen Langdon paired with the talented young

After Tobias Harris was ruled out with a right thumb sprain and Jaden Ivey was a late scratch after going through warm-ups, the Detroit Pistons rolled out typical starters Cade Cunningham, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jalen Duren, but added the offensive-defensive one-two punch of Malik Beasley and Ausar Thompson. I’m not sure this lineup had

December 15 is known as the unofficial start to NBA free agency as the season’s newly signed players become eligible to be traded. The Pistons decided to use that time to maneuver through their cap sheet, including waiving veteran center Paul Reed and re-signing him two days later to a veteran minimum deal. In between,

It isn’t often that you get to go a full week during the NBA season with only one game, but due to the NBA Cup, that is exactly what the Pistons and many other teams in the NBA are dealing with. The Pistons last played Thursday against the Celtics and they looked like a team

The B-ball Paul era was a brief one for the Detroit Pistons. The Pistons are opting to waive third-string center Paul Reed, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. Reed had a unique Philly Special contract — his $7.7 million deal was fully non-guaranteed this season until Jan. 10. Reed also had a fully non-guaranteed deal

While the game against the Celtics may have been a let down, Ron Holland certainly made it entertaining. Wes and Blake discuss why his big night was so exciting. They also give Cade his props for what was probably his best game as a Piston, break down Jaden Ivey’s recent struggles and what he can

Happy holidays, y’all! What a difference one year makes, eh? This time last year, we were in the midst of the worst stretch of basketball in the Detroit Pistons’ history. Now, things are better. They’re not good, but they’re better and that’s all you can ask for. I wanted to think of a way to
