Detroit Bad Boys

Troy Weaver is having himself quite the season. His star signing in Jerami Grant is having a nearly All-Star caliber season, Mason Plumlee is notching triple-doubles, and several of his rookies are looking like steals. Outside of Killian Hayes, who we haven’t seen since the first month of the season, all three rookies have been

In incredibly expected news, the Blake Griffin trade market appears nonexistent. Griffin, the veteran forward of the Detroit Pistons has been sitting out for weeks after the team and Griffin’s reps decided it’d be best for both parties if they amicably separated. For Blake, it’s about playing competitive ball on a contending team. For the

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) talked to Rafael Barlowe (@Barlowe500) about the Detroit Pistons Core Four: Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart, Saddiq Bey, and Saben Lee. They also talked about the Top-5 prospects in the 2021 NBA Draft: Cade Cunningham, Evan Mobley, Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Kuminga, and Jalen Green. So what if Dennis Smith Jr. and Mason Plumlee

Detroit Pistons GM Troy Weaver said he planned to be aggressive in all things. That was certainly true in the NBA Draft and free agency, but would it also extend to the NBA trade deadline? Weaver’s aggressiveness could be tested as a new report indicates that Jerami Grant is a top trade target for the

With the Detroit Pistons missing Jerami Grant, and Josh Jackson and the Toronto Raptors without Fred VanVleet, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, and others due to health and safety protocols, the battle was over who had the deeper roster. And Detroit won convincingly. The Pistons started the game slowly, but that lasted only a few minutes.

Thanks to health and safety protocols, Tuesday’s game is now today’s game and the Toronto Raptors are now the Tampa Bay Junior Raptors as Toronto will be down five players including three starters. That means we might see quite a bit of two former Pistons — Stanley Johnson, who has gone from a disappointing wing

Last week, we discussed the positive role Mason Plumlee is playing for the Detroit Pistons offense this year. However, the same stats that emphasize this fact – his on/off numbers – point to a different story on the other end of the floor. Opponents’ ORtg when Plumlee is on the court is significantly higher (116.5)

The Detroit Pistons announced tickets for a limited number of seats will go on sale beginning March 4 at 10 a.m., with up to 750 fans able to attend home games beginning with the March 17 game against the Toronto Raptors. The organization announced the move as part of updated guidelines from state and local

The ‘tentative’ rearrangement of the schedule will see the Detroit Pistons will play the Tampa, I mean Toronto Raptors tonight (and who’s the North now, huh!?). After completing due diligence regarding contact tracing, the NBA determined that the game can take place. Because of health and safety protocols, the Raptors will be down several players

The coronavirus pandemic is messing with the Detroit Pistons schedule again. The NBA announced the matchup with Tampa, I mean Toronto Raptors in Tampa, won’t take place tonight as planned. It’ll be the 31st game postponed because of Covid-19 related issues. At the moment, the matchup is rescheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday, March 3). However, if

In this week’s episode, Matt Way and I discuss some of the NBA’s not-so-good teams, including the Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, and your Detroit Pistons. We’ll take a look at what got these teams where they are, and if there is any hope (or desire) for the them to climb out

I was largely detached from my devices this weekend, but I did see a story or two pop up connecting Spencer Dinwiddie to the Detroit Pistons. I’ll admit I never clicked through but figured it was a case of the Nets shopping the surplus guard, and Detroit Pistons fans always pining to reunite with the

When the Detroit Pistons drafted Saddiq Bey, he joined the team with more pressure than usual for the 19th overall pick entering the beginning of a rebuild. It’s not that the Villanova product came with a ton of fanfare or expectations. It is that he was acquired in exchange for one of the franchise’s scarce

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk about your 9-25 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about the good problem the Pistons have at point guard, our collective disappointment in Sekou Doumbouya, and throw Mason Plumlee a little bit of love. We also talked

Remember the NBA like 20 years ago? It was rough and tumble — a slow-paced style where you had to earn your buckets. That’s what the Detroit Pistons game against the New York Knicks felt like on Sunday. Both teams shot under 40% in the first half, the game was physical as hell, and nobody

The last time I made a video on Josh Jackson, it was published on a game day. In that game, Jackson went on to roll his ankle, miss the next two games, and struggle tremendously in the following games afterward. Lets hope history doesn’t repeat itself! Jackson was playing extremely well to start the season,

It has been 20 days since the Detroit Pistons traded Derrick Rose for Dennis Smith Jr. Eleven days later the team lost it’s starting point guard (second, after Killian Hayes) in Delon Wright. Nevertheless, we have yet another good news to report in this supposedly lost and cursed season: two of three healthy point guards

We’re back for another ping pong ball hoarding chapter of Tank Commander! Since the first edition came out, there’s been some movement at the bottom of the league standings, but your Detroit Pistons have continued to rack up the losses and remain in prime position to potentially net a franchise altering player in the this

The Detroit Pistons drafted their presumed point guard of the future when they took Killian Hayes with the 7th pick in the 2020 NBA Draft. Since then, it’s been one heck of a ride. Hayes struggled mightily in seven games before going down with a serious hip injury. Derrick Rose, his veteran backup, was fine
