Detroit Bad Boys

Suddenly, the Boston Celtics look like a team ready to go to the NBA Finals. Of course, you could have said the same thing Feb. 16, and the Detroit Pistons escaped from that road contest with a buzzer-beating win courtesy of Kelly Olynyk. In a rematch on a rare noon Sunday game, the Pistons coughed

I have to be straight up with everyone, Isaiah Livers has QUICKLY become one of my favorite players on this Detroit Pistons roster. While I am a fan of the NBA team in Michigan, I must admit Livers was not a player I was super familiar with during his career playing for the Michigan Wolverines.

The Detroit Pistons battled with the Chicago Bulls back and fourth through three quarters, but in the decisive fourth the Pistons went ice cold and the Bulls ran away with a 114-108 victory. DeMar DeRozan scored a game-high 36 points including 28 in the second half and was getting to his spots and sinking seemingly

Now that the 2022 NCAA Men’s Basketball season has come to a close and conference tournaments are starting up, I wanted to drop my first official NBA Draft Big Board for readers to think ever more about this upcoming draft. While I will not go into full detail about every player, I will try to

A few weeks ago, a matchup between the Detroit Pistons and the Chicago Bulls would not have raised many eyebrows. The Pistons began the season losing two in a row to the Bulls and then fell by 46 when they played each other in January. Now, though, the Pistons have won 6 of 8 and

After a long delay, we are back to give out some grades and get a glimpse into how this Pistons team has been doing this new year. The last time we checked in on the Detroit Pistons was at the halfway point of game 41, so the team has had 20 games, a trade deadline,

In Cade Cunningham’s rookie season, Detroit Pistons fans are witnessing potential greatness in real-time, and it is up to Detroit Pistons fans to capture the little and big moments along his path. We are basketball cartographers and beyond-the-archeologists. As such, it is our duty to highlight specific plays. We are creating a historical record, and

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 the recent wins (and competitive losses) we have seen from the Detroit

Have the Detroit Pistons graduated from bad team to pesky spoiler? It kind of looks like it. The Pistons won again on Monday night, surviving a wild fourth quarter to outlast Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks in overtime in handing them an 113-110 loss at Little Caesars Arena. It’s the sixth win in eight

The Detroit Pistons playing well feels good. They’re still learning to win, but their work is paying dividends. They’ve won five of their past seven games and, coming off a weekend of rest, welcome the Atlanta Hawks to LCA looking to keep the good times rolling. Now, some may see tangible improvement as being the

Saddiq Bey has certainly found his offensive game after a slow start. Since the turn of the calendar, he is averaging 17.7 points on 42% from the field, 36% from 3 and 83% from the free-throw line. He is also dishing out 3.1 APG with just over 1 turnover per game. This combined with what

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 17-47 Detroit Pistons. And actually it’s good that the Pistons are 17-47, because this week Ben Gulker and I bring on Richard Stayman aka @MavsDraft to talk about the top prospects in the 2022 NBA Draft

It feels like the Detroit Pistons are learning how to win. They’re learning how to close games. They’re seeing how good teams play. They’re learning how bad teams play. They’re learning on the fly. Detroit has had its fair share of close games in recent weeks — most recently, their victory in Toronto on Thursday

The Pistons continued their stretch of winning games that they shouldn’t against the Toronto Raptors last night in Toronto. That has become the norm lately for the Pistons as they start to hit their stride and everybody learns to play together. It might not be the best for draft pick purposes, but playing competitive games

Well, we got another banger of a game between the Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors. Dwane Casey’s Revenge continues; the Pistons beat the Raptors, 108-106. Jerami Grant led the way for Detroit with 26 points, Saddiq Bey added 23 points and six rebounds (as well as the game-sealing basket), and Cade Cunningham had a double-double

You know how this goes. If there’s one opponent that you can guarantee the Detroit Pistons will be ready to play against, it’s the Toronto Raptors. Dwane Casey is 8-3 against his former team since taking over in Detroit, and the Pistons are 2-0 against them this season. Now, playing some of their best ball

The ball screen may be the most talked about aspect of the Detroit Pistons offense under head coach Dwane Casey this season and last. This is largely due to the personnel that was selected with the Pistons top pick in the last 2 draft classes. Killian Hayes came into the NBA with the reputation as

You were not dreaming, Kelly Olynyk really did hit a buzzer beating baseline fadeaway to sink the Charlotte Hornets and end the Pistons 15 (!) game losing streak against them. The Pistons are hot right now having beat the Celtics before the all star break, beating the Cavaliers after the break, and then playing the

It is the eve of March, and that means that March Madness is almost upon us. For Detroit Pistons fans, that means a chance to pay a little closer attention to some of the top prospects in the upcoming NBA Draft. While the Pistons are a on a three-game winning streak, they are currently projected
