Detroit Bad Boys

The Detroit Pistons gave up 136 points to Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks on Friday and now get to face the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry. Yes, it could be even uglier, but the Warriors’ defense has scuffled a bit as Golden State attempts to incorporate more young players into its primary rotation.

Both Cade Cunningham and the Little Caesars Arena court looked sharp with the controversial teal jerseys returning, but the Detroit Pistons defense remained bad. The Atlanta Hawks once again took advantage of the porous Pistons’ defense and pulled away in the second half, winning 136-113. Cade was again terrific in the first half against the

The teal is offically back! Almost two decades since the franchise ditched the original teal color-way, the Detroit Pistons will debut the divisive jersey in their second consecutive match-up with the Atlanta Hawks. Following a competitive showing on Wednesday night, Detroit is seeking to end a four-game slide against the high-flying Hawks. With starting guard,

The Detroit Pistons stayed with the Atlanta Hawks in a back-and-forth affair at Little Caesars Arena, but a tired Cade Cunningham and an inability to protect the paint late were too much to overcome and Detroit fell 118-113. Cunningham wanted to put a slow start to the season behind him and put his stamp on

The grind of the NBA season doesn’t stop, no matter how bad you are playing. The Pistons are getting an early lesson in that as they return home from Washington DC after a bad loss last night against the Wizards. The 3 game road trip the Pistons were on could not have gone any worse

The Detroit Pistons had two full off days to rebound from the loss to the Indiana Pacers and face the Washington Wizards. Whatever they did with that time didn’t work as everything that was bad and frustrating about that loss was magnified in a lifeless, uninspiring 120-98 loss to the Washington Wizards. The list of

Omari and I are talking about all things Detroit Pistons first three games of the regular season where they went 1-2

Three games into the regular season are surely not enough to come to any firm conclusions about any aspect of the Detroit Pistons or its players. But I am already comfortable going on record and saying Saddiq Bey should retire the shot fake, side-step 3-pointer. It is not that I want Bey to be less

Hey everyone! This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s podcast, Ben Gulker and I talk about your 1-2 Detroit Pistons. Ben and I go over the bench’s struggles offensively, what we’ve loved about both Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren, and what Saddiq Bey’s role on this team is with Bojan

I am not saying the NBA schedule is rigged against the Pistons, but it is quite fitting that they already have their first back-to-back of the season on their 2nd and 3rd games of the season. The Pistons aren’t the only team dealing with it, but it is still interesting. With that out of the

Well, I’m glad that’s over. Your Detroit Pistons lost 130-106 to the New York Knicks after giving up 72 points in the first half of play, and going into halftime down 20 points. The Pistons made a 21-6 run in the third quarter and closed the gap to 12 points, but the bench lineups, in

When the Detroit Pistons drafted Jaden Ivey fifth overall, Troy Weaver filled a glaring hole on his team’s roster. Detroit badly needed a jolt of athleticism to complement its cerebral-leaning young core. Ivey was a sure-fire elite athlete who would naturally draw attention away from others and allow Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey, and others to

Fresh off a thrilling 113-109 opening night victory, your Detroit Pistons travel to Madison Square Garden to face the pesky New York Knicks. The hometown Knickerbockers enter the night looking to etch their first win of the season following a narrow loss to the Memphis Grizzles in their first contest. Detroit will look to make

Rob Murphy’s first year as the Detroit Pistons assistant general manager came to halt on Thursday, when ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Murphy has been placed on leave as the organization begins investigating allegations of workplace misconduct involving a former female employee. Details are still sparse, but both Woj and James L. Edwards of The

The NBA marquee night has arrived again, with TNT heading into week 2, and hopefully featuring 100% less bizarre pseudo-documentaries about Draymond Green punching a teammate. The Sixers and Lakers are once again in action, which is kind of a bummer based on their first respective games of the season. The Sixers will be facing

When the Detroit Pistons drafted Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren in last year’s lottery, it felt like while the Pistons might not be a good team, they were going to be the most fun team Motown’s had in a long while. They certainly lived up to that billing on opening night in Detroit’s 113-109 victory
