There is nothing more appropriate than Josh Jackson leading the team in shots in the Detroit Pistons’ 131-124 loss to the LA Clippers on Sunday. It was an extremely Josh Jackson game for both squads. Defense was intense but each team just kept trading offensive body blows, nailing 3-pointers, hitting step-back jumpers, and driving into

The Detroit Pistons are facing some former Detroit Pistons without some current Detroit Pistons. The Los Angeles Clippers will have Marcus Morris, Luke Kennard and Reggie Jackson. But Jerami Grant remains out with knee soreness and Killian Hayes is being held out as part of injury management. Dennis Smith Jr. is also questionable. That means

The Detroit Pistons are in the middle of the second half of their schedule (that only looks easier on paper) in which they’re playing 36 games in 74 days. They are currently in almost certainly the most difficult stretch of this half or even the entire season. In the span of seven days, they’re playing

The Detroit Pistons went into Portland on Saturday evening without the services of Jerami Grant (knee). Everyone knew it would be a tall task to beat a playoff team in the Trail Blazers. That proved to be exceedingly true. The Blazers defeated the Pistons 118-103. The Blazers won the first and third quarters by 10

After a thrilling shockingly easy victory over the Sacramento Kings, we now return you to our regularly scheduled program. The Detroit Pistons appear seriously overmatched tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers. Playing on the road, on the second night of a back-to-back, without Jerami Grant or probably Mason Plumlee. And to make matters worse, the

The Detroit Pistons have won four of seven games, and suddenly people are afraid the team is winning too much. Sure a couple extra losses would provide a little cushion in the tank battles to come. Tonight, though, there is likely less reason to worry. The Portland Trail Blazers are not the Sacramento Kings. And

The Detroit Pistons are doing great job with their rookies this year. Isaiah Stewart, taken with the 16th pick, is already a fan favorite and now looks like a foundational piece. Saddiq Bey, taken with 19th pick, already has an Eastern Conference Player of the Week honor, and he’s already schooling his former offseason workout

The Detroit Pistons outhustled, outmuscled and outplayed the Sacramento Kings for the majority of the 48 minutes Thursday night in a strong 113-101 victory. After the opening quarter that saw Detroit up four, it was largely all Pistons from then on. Detroit took control with a 35-21 spanking of the Kings in the second quarter.

It seems like it’s been forever since Detroit played a close, competitive game. The Pistons have either been on the giving or receiving end of lopsided margins the past couple of weeks. Fans are already finding it harder and harder to stick through with this season as it enters the latter stages, so a competitive

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) goes solo to talk about the Killian Hayes – Hamidou Diallo backcourt, Jalen Suggs and Cade Cunningham as fits on the Pistons, and Detroit’s options in the second round of the 2021 NBA Draft. That, in turn, became a discussion about force multiplication, doing the math on getting to 25 points a

The Detroit Pistons signed forward Tyler cook to a multi-year contract, the team announced, after the athletic big man shined during recent auditions on a pair of 10-day deals. The deal is a guarantee for the rest of this season with a team-option for next season, according to Rod Beard of the Detroit News. The

Now that the NCAA tournament has come and gone, we figured it’d be a great time to preview the upcoming NBA draft! Since Matt and I aren’t draft gurus ourselves, we’d decided to ask for some backup, so we brought on Adam Spinella. Spinella is the Assistant Men’s Basketball coach at Dickinson College, and currently

The Detroit Pistons couldn’t match the Denver Nuggets offensive onslaught of 37 points in the second quarter, and never recovered, falling 134-119. Jamal Murray was a late scratch for the Nuggets, but it hardly mattered. The Nuggets depth is one of their calling cards, not to mention their star power with MVP candidate Nikola Jokic.

The Detroit Pistons face one of the league’s best teams on the road in high altitude on the second night of a back-to-back. This one could get ugly. To make matters even worse, the Pistons will be without rookie point guard Killian Hayes, who is sitting out as a precaution as the team works him

When Blake Griffin was shut down by the Detroit Pistons, the offense from the starting lineup took a hit. While Griffin was far from the offensive force he was years ago, he was still very good at orchestrating a big chunk of the team’s strong-side offense. Other starters could play off of this to their

Losing nearly 3,000 minutes out of your rotation would be difficult for any team, and the Denver Nuggets certainly needed an adjustment period after Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee bolted a Western Conference Finals team for a rebuilding situation (and starting roles) in Detroit. It seems like they’ve figured it all out, though, after the

If the Detroit Pistons were attempting to aid the tank by resting Mason Plumlee and Wayne Ellington against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the plan failed miserably. Isaiah Stewart took Plumlee’s place in the starting lineup and was active on both ends of the floor. The rookie center blocked four shots in the first quarter and

The Detroit Pistons are desperate to wash the stink off after a season-worst showing against the New York Knicks in a 125-81 loss on Saturday. The Knicks were lighting the Pistons up from 3 and Detroit showed very little resistance on either end of the floor. It wasn’t exactly an auspicious return for rookie Killian

It’s been a few weeks now since the under-the-radar deadline-adjacent trade that saw the Detroit Pistons send Svi Mykhailiuk and a second-round pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Hamidou Diallo. In truth, it seems the fans of both franchises are pretty happy with how things have turned out as the players are providing an
