The Detroit Pistons are getting harder to watch with every game added to this now-12-game losing streak. Luckily, if you look closely enough, a new positive shows up about as often. This time around, it’s two-way wing Stanley Umude catching the eyes of head coach Monty Williams, prompting me to take a closer look at

Good teams find a way to win. Bad teams find a way to lose. You know where the Detroit Pistons fall. First it was Denver Nuggets coach Mike Malone — then later two-time MVP Nikola Jokic — tossed by the officials for arguing calls. It felt like the Pistons finally had luck fall their way,

The Detroit Pistons losing streak reached 11 games, falling to the Denver Nuggets 107-103 on a night when Nuggets star Nikola Jokic and head coach Michael Malone were ejected before halftime. Who needs the league’s best player when you have the heroics of Reggie Jackson? The former Pistons point guard exacted a bit of revenge

Because I understand how fun and rewarding (via clicks) an article building hypothetical trades for the latest NBA star who has hit the trading block is, I also know that getting put through the aggregation machine can be hell even if it is simply the cost of doing business. So let me start with a

It seems like each week I write these previews I talk about the previous game in which the Pistons almost won to put an end to their win streak, but a couple of mistakes down the stretch ultimately cost them. I am saying the same thing after Tuesday’s close loss to the Hawks in which

Is Monty Williams finally ready to remake the Detroit Pistons starting lineup? He didn’t say it outright, but the Pistons head coach did acknowledge the need to get the struggling Cade Cunningham on the floor operating in more space. Speaking to reporters after practice, Williams said, “I have to do a better job of allowing

I’ve always wanted to keep this column generally positive, but right now it’s hard to look at the Detroit Pistons and think anything positive, especially riding a nine-game losing streak. One player I did want to touch on is Ausar Thompson. I felt like I was very high on him relative to the rest of

“You wanna trend something? I’m pissed! So go ahead, get it out there.” That all-time quote by the ageless Pat Riley perfectly encapsulates my current feelings on the ongoing Jaden Ivey situation. In the same breath, I’ll go ahead and point out that I do, in fact, know we are early in this season and

The Detroit Pistons have been guilty of slow starts routinely throughout Troy Weaver’s “restoration” process. Most times, it’s warranted. The team has been bad more often than not, so losing games early in the year has always made sense. That doesn’t make it any less appetizing for the fans, nor for the Pistons players —

The Detroit Pistons couldn’t eecute down the stretch and fell to the Atlanta Hawks 126-120. The Pistons didn’t have any answers for Dejounte Murray, who got a featured role with Trae Young out. Murray was able to create space for smooth jumpers, and when Detroit defenders decided to crowd him, he knifed through the defense

The Motor City Cruise are officially the hottest (basketball) team in Detroit. Head coach Jamelle McMillan is off to an ideal start as a head coach, not only winning games but developing his own culture. The Cruise (2-0) defeated the Grand Rapids Gold in their first game Sunday and followed with a victory in the

This is one of the few “winnable” games the Pistons have on their schedule until after Thanksgiving. And that is not to discredit the Hawks, as they are clearly a better team, but they just aren’t up with the likes of Milwaukee, Philadelphia, or Golden State. With the way the Pistons are currently playing, it

There was no point in Sunday’s game where I would say that the Chicago Bulls were playing well. The fact that even when playing an all-around subpar game, they were easily able to outclass the Detroit Pistons is a major red flag for Detroit. The 119-108 loss for Detroit gives them sole possession of the

The Detroit Pistons went from up 16 to down 17. They went from playing a complete game on both ends of the floor to buckling under the same persistent problems the team has dealt with all year. They went from playing with energy and focus to suffering yet another injury to a major part of

I hope you’re able to contain your excitement for tonight’s In-Season Tournament game that pits the Detroit Pistons against the Philadelphia 76ers. It is Detroit’s first tournament game of the season. And of course, it is against one of the league’s best teams, and it is while they are still without a handful of important

Young teams have a very small margin of error no matter who they are playing. They have an even smaller margin of error when they are missing so many regular rotation players, especially ones that are experienced and can help in clutch moments. That is the reality the current Pistons are facing and it was

There are moments every game where you see how Cade Cunningham could become a dominant NBA player. The Detroit Pistons guard is clearly capable of scoring at the rim even without explosive athleticism. Using his size and patience to get to his spot and easily hitting a mid-range jumper. Finding cutters even while being swallowed

When the Detroit Pistons are playing meaningful basketball, Cade Cunningham and Marcus Sasser will be two of the biggest reasons why. The young backcourt went deep in their bag against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday and came away with… another loss. Detroit’s guards got them a lead in the fourth quarter, but the team crumbled
