Detroit Bad Boys

Both squads are playing their B and C teams, and I’m not sure if it’s going to make for watchable basketball. The Detroit Pistons look like they might rest Jerami Grant and Cory Joseph, and will likely be without Kelly Olynyk. That means that if for some reason Rodney McGruder doesn’t suit up then the

I would love to see an analysis that could quantify who was more polarizing within the Detroit Pistons fan community among Jerami Grant, Killian Hayes, and coach Dwane Casey. At this point in the season, I felt I “went to the film” quite a bit on those two players, but had less of a handle

If you think the Detroit Pistons and tanking belong in the same sentence, I’m not quite sure what you would call what the Portland Trail Blazers are doing since the NBA Trade Deadline. New coach Chauncey Billups has had to plumb the depths of his roster and the G League in order to field a

It was a mild surprise when Jerami Grant was not traded by the Detroit Pistons during the most recent NBA Trade Deadline, but even at the time the smart money said he could just as easily be moved in the offseason. That smart money appears to be … smart money as The Athletic’s Shams Charania

Cade Cunningham is listed as probable to return tonight as the Detroit Pistons face the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cunningham missed the previous two games with a non-COVID illness. Cade back in the lineup means it is the final chance to see Cunningham and Evan Mobley go head to head. The two, along with Toronto Raptors forward

While most of the basketball-watching world was distracted by the opening night of the NCAA tournament, Saddiq Bey decided it would be a perfect time to drop a career-high 51 points on Thursday night in the Detroit Pistons’ win over the Orlando Magic. As with most good things in life, it came after a heart-to-heart

Yesterday, we covered all of Thursday’s opening-night games of the 2022 NCAA tournament. The games certainly did not disappoint even if some of the coaches (cough, John Calipari, cough) and players (cough, Keegan Murray, cough) did. Today we look at Friday’s full schedule of games and the prospects big and small that you should look

If you saw the injury report and care even a little bit about the NCAA Tournament, you probably didn’t watch a single second of this game. And I wouldn’t blame you at all if that was the case. However, you missed a masterful performance by Saddiq Bey. The Pistons started off this game rough, as

The two worst teams in the NBA, most of their good players out with injury or illness, literally the only game in town. The NBA. It’s faaaantastic.

You know how corporations and the government love to dump bad news on 5 p.m. on Friday or at the end of the week so that people might not notice it? That is what the NBA is doing tonight with the vaunted matchup between the Detroit Pistons vs. the Orlando Magic. On one hand, perhaps

In what has become an annual tradition, I typed up some brief notes on who to watch during the first day of our weekend-long basketball holiday also known as the 2022 NCAA Tournament. There are always reasons to pay close attention to the tourney — the upsets, the gambling, the fun. But for Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are a bad team. They’re a very bad one without Cade Cunningham in the lineup. Tuesday should have been an ugly night. Cunningham, playing the best ball of his young career, sat with a non-COVID injury as the Pistons hit the road to take on the East-leading Miami Heat. This should have

Despite being short-handed the last couple games, the Detroit Pistons have managed to have competitive losses to both the Clippers and Celtics. The Pistons are finally looking like the fun tanking team last season that played competitive games against the better teams in the league and made them worth watching. It took a while to

Despite being short-handed the last couple games, the Pistons have managed to have competitive losses to both the Clippers and Celtics. The Pistons are finally looking like the fun tanking team last season that played competitive games against the better teams in the league and made them worth watching. It took a while to get

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 Bryce start off the episode talking about Sunday’s home game against the Clippers, which was Bryce’s first time catching

Hello DBB! March Madness is upon us and this is a call for anyone who wants to compete against fellow DBBers in ESPN’s Tournament Challenge. March Madness already plays special importance for Detroit Pistons fans as it looks like the Pistons are lining up to add another top-level prospect in the NBA Draft. Whether that’s

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 18-50 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about the Pistons maybe pushing Cade too hard in pursuit of the Rookie of the Year award, Jerami Grant finding his way offensively, the ripple effects of the

The Detroit Pistons led the Los Angeles Clippers from the 8:58 mark in the first quarter all the way until the 9:12 mark in the fourth. But the Clips kept fighting and the Pistons kept declining to take advantage of opportunities and making the kinds of mistakes typical of a bad basketball team. In the

Prayers up to one of the greatest of all time. George Blaha, an absolute legend of NBA broadcasting and perhaps the singular most important factor to making Pistons’ games bearable during much of the past decade, will miss the remainder of the season due to a heart procedure, the team announced. Blaha is slated to

If you took the players who aren’t going to play in today’s contest between the Detroit Pistons and LA Clippers, you could make a pretty enticing rotation. The Clippers would surely be responsible for most of the starting lineup, of course — with stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George as well as Norman Powell and
