The Detroit Pistons ended a three-game losing streak with a convincing win over the depleted Orlando Magic on the night Nikola Vucevic learned he’d made the All-Star team. Tonight the Pistons face a struggling New Orleans team with an aim to slow All-Star big man Zion Williamson. Detroit beat the Pelicans 10 days ago, and

The Detroit Pistons and New Orleans Pelicans will meet for the second and final time of the season this week. It’s a game that means nothing in the scheme of things, really. The Pistons are one of the worst teams in the league, and another loss is just another lottery combination. The Pelicans are a

The second game of a two-game mini-series between the Detroit Pistons and Orlando Magic really wasn’t much of a battle after halftime. Detroit flew out of the second half gate fast and never looked back, notching their ninth victory of the season, 105-93. The Pistons led the Magic 34-24 through the first quarter via crisp

Wayne Ellington is sitting out tonight on the first night of a back-to-back. I’d say that the Pistons will miss his 3-point shooting, but the truth is, Ellington hasn’t been shooting well at all lately, and the rest is probably much needed and appreciated. Ellington has made just 27% of his 3s in the past

In this week’s episode, Matt and I are joined by Jake Chapman from the Orlando Magic Radio Network, and Orlando Magic Weekly podcast. Jake breaks down the feisty Magic, who have won four of their last five games, and are coming off a 105-96 win against your Detroit Pistons. These two teams face off again

There have been a few times already this season where I am sitting there watching the Detroit Pistons thinking to myself, “how in the hell are these guys still in this game?” Perhaps no time was as inexplicable as when the Pistons played the Magic on Sunday. In a game that saw Nikola Vucevic drop

Saben Lee is a two-way player trying to prove he belongs in the NBA. With injuries depleting Detroit’s point guard depth, the Pistons rookie finally has a chance to show he belongs and secure his future. Along the way, he also seems intent on ending the life (metaphorically speaking) of his opponent, and posterizing him

Good evening everybody, and welcome to another exciting season of G League basketball. I’m George Blaha… well, I’m not. But the new G League season is finally for real again and what a thrill it is for hopeful Detroit Pistons fans. The Orland bubble, which set off recently as a site of the season, may

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk about your 8-22 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about the wear and tear on Jerami Grant, the ripple effects of the Delon Wright injury, and Sekou and Svi’s future with the Pistons. Ben also kicks us

In its first game without Delon Wright for the next couple weeks, the Detroit Pistons missed his steadying presence. Dennis Smith, Jr. started in his place and struggled mightily outside of a couple perimeter shots sunk in a 30-second burst. His signature athleticism continues to be more theoretical than functional, which isn’t terribly surprising given

Dwane Casey has the Detroit Pistons sitting at a record of 8-21 heading into tonight’s game against the Orlando Magic. Along the way, the Pistons have said goodbye to their two big-name veterans in Derrick Rose and Blake Griffin. They lost seventh overall pick, Killian Hayes, after a hip injury in the seventh game of

The Detroit Pistons will continue their southern trip tonight visiting non-Michigan fans around the States. After stopover in Tennessee (hi,revken) two days ago, they head to Orlando (howdy, ScottFL) to play another game against Magic. But Scott and rest of us might get to see the team not at full steam as it’ll probably play

Your Detroit Pistons lost to the Memphis Grizzlies, 109-95. Ja Morant led the way for the Grizzlies, pouring in 29 points. Detroit had six players in double-figures, but no one hit 20 points, and the team as a whole shot only 41 percent from the floor and 31 percent from three on the night. The

How can the Detroit Pistons rebound after an epic collapse against the Chicago Bulls? How will Jerami Grant deliver after a career-high 43 points in the loss to the Bulls? Ja Morant is coming off a triple-double in a win over the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he was just 4-of-14 from the floor. Will he

The Detroit Pistons should sit down and take notes at what has happened in Memphis in the past three years. A veteran team that had run out of steam and was going nowhere has completely retooled with minimal pain and are stocked up with solid young assets going forward. Ja Morant might get most of

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) goes solo to talk about the ripple effects of the joint decision to shut down Blake Griffin, and Jerami Grant’s 43-point night against the Chicago Bulls. That became a discussion about Eastern Conference Player of The Week Saddiq Bey, waiting by the phone for your agent to call, Our Old Friend Andre

Jerami Grant’s career-high of 43 points was not enough as the Pistons fall to the Bulls 105-102. Detroit led by 18 at the half and as many as 25 points, but then roles reversed as the Bulls owned the last 24 minutes with strong defense and timely outside shooting led by the always exciting Zach

On NBA Draft night in 2017, many Detroit Pistons fans were left feeling bitter seeing another local kid taking his potential out of Michigan to shine the desert sun when Josh Jackson was selected fourth overall by the Phoenix Suns. This is two years after Grand Rapids native Devin Booker landed in Phoenix to explode

Well that was unexpected. Hot on the heels of the news Andre Drummond was being sat until the Cleveland Cavaliers could find a way to move him, came the news that the Detroit Pistons were going to do basically the exact same thing with Blake Griffin. The situations are quite different in that Drummond is
