Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk about your 14-35 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk with former host of Locked on Pistons and current PlayMichigan.com writer Matt Schoch about Killian Hayes’ return, Saddiq Bey hitting the rookie wall, and a term I just

In a long NBA season, there’s some nights where things just aren’t work. Those moments are more common for this year’s Detroit Pistons than most teams, but that sense has never came earlier than it did tonight. A little more than three minutes into the game, the New York Knicks were up 14-0 and Dwane

When the Detroit Pistons announced Blake Griffin was sitting until he and the team could agree to a resolution for his departure, it shook up the nature of the team’s rotations and how to move forward. Dwane Casey has struggled to find a consistent, successful starting lineup since that time. The most common iteration has

New York has Detroit’s number this year. During the season, the Knicks have won two games the teams played so far. But they’ll be on a SEGABABA, and the good guys will have additional enforcement in already strong backcourt as Killian Hayes will make his long awaited comeback from injury. So… Game Vitals When: Saturday,

The report comes via The Athletic’s own James Edwards III: Per sources, the plan is for #Pistons rookie Killian Hayes to return for tomorrow’s game against the Knicks. The No. 7 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft has been out since January with a hip injury. — James Edwards III (@JLEdwardsIII) April 2, 2021

A two-way lead ball-handler, a bulldog with a burgeoning offensive game on the perimeter and a local player to root for? The latest 2021 NBA Mock Draft from Bleacher Report has a little bit of everything for Detroit Pistons fans. The pick order was determined by the current standings, and the first pick is the

The Detroit Pistons won their 14th game of the season in blowout fashion over the Washington Wizards, 120-91. It figured to be an uphill climb without Bradley Beal in the lineup for the Wizards. He’s one of the best shooting guards in the world, scoring over 30 a game with five rebounds and nearly five

During his three seasons at Vanderbilt, Saben Lee become famous – well, at least among draft geeks who keep a close enough eye on the NCAA to scout potential undrafted free agents – for attacking the paint at will, slicing defenses into pieces with his athleticism, a stunning dribble and handsome footwork. His insane, for

The Detroit Pistons staged a furious comeback from 30 points down in the third quarter to get within four Saturday against the Washington Wizards, but eventually ran out of gas down the stretch. Tonight, they look to avoid the huge early deficit altogether and exact a bit of revenge against the Wizards. For the second

So, turns out those good vibes from the win over the Toronto Raptors this week were short-lived? For a half, the Detroit Pistons looked like a team capable of beating the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. However, a 36-point quarter by Portland out of the half put the Pistons in a hole that they

Coming off one of their best games in weeks, the Detroit Pistons are primed for a reality check against the Portland Trail Blazers. With the No. 10 scoring defense in the NBA, the Pistons continue to be this season’s feisty group that can beat anyone… and lose to anyone. Portland and its backcourt triplets of

While all the talk in the Western Conference has centered on the struggling Los Angeles Lakers, the Portland Trail Blazers have sneakily kept on doing what they do best — stacked up wins. Portland has won 10 of 14 games, and currently sit just a game and a half back from the fourth seed in

Inside The Cylinder is back following the trade deadline! In this episode, Matt and I discuss the trade that sent Delon Wright to the Sacramento Kings for Cory Joseph and two second-round picks. Was it a good trade, bad trade, or just ….ya know, a trade? Also, we share our thoughts on why we weren’t

It was foolish to think, really. As much as Detroit Pistons fans wanted Jerami Grant’s early season magic to be the true blossoming of a legitimate NBA star, it was wishful thinking. Grant played the best basketball of his career, nay, life, over the first two months of the season. He scored in ways we’d

Well, that was fun. I know, I know, the Detroit Pistons need to lose games, not win them. The #FadeForCade and #BeCrappyForMobley campaigns are in full effect. However, when you have a game like this, a 118-104 win over the Toronto Raptors, you can’t help but enjoy it. It’s not that the Pistons improved one

The Detroit Pistons will know their fate on June 22 and will select a player that could well define their future on July 29. The NBA Draft Lottery is scheduled for June 22 at 8:30 p.m. EST on ESPN while the NBA Draft will be held July 29 at 8 p.m. EST on TNT. The

“With their pick in 2021 NBA Draft the Detroit Pistons select…”. Ok, as the NCAA Tournament enters the games that will cut the title challengers to Elite Eight, we’re reminded that the time is coming when Motor City will make a move that could speed up its “restoration” enormously. The coming draft looks to be

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk about your 12-33 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about what did – and didn’t – happen at the trade deadline for the Pistons, the impact of Jerami Grant’s quad contusion (just rest him, please) and Blake

The Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards played a game so up-and-down it would have made Todd Jones proud. In the end, the Pistons built themselves too big of a hole and weren’t able to complete the 30-point comeback. Detroit started off the game well with Saben Lee getting his first career start. Lee was active
