Only minutes after Dwane Casey announced he was stepping away as head coach of the Detroit Pistons and taking a position in the team’s front office, names started being tied to the opening.

In that spirit, Detroit Bad Boys is sharing weekly articles and prospect breakdowns from our own Bryce Simon, who is analyzing prospects for Sports Illustrated’s Draft Digest.

How cool would it be for this game to have been a win to get into the playoffs scenario for both teams? That is the reality that I want to be living in. However, that is not the reality that we are living in as the Pistons-Bulls Easter Day matinee will be a matchup between

The Detroit Pistons won a game! Not a sentence I’ve been able to write since March 13. Tonight, they beat the Indiana Pacers 122-115. In that previous March game, they beat the Indiana Pacers 117-97. They haven’t beat a non-Pacers team since eking out a double overtime win against the Spurs on Feb. 10. Yeah,

The Detroit Pistons Pistons have been victorious in only one game since the All-Star break back in February. Their sole victory came against tonight’s opponent, the Indiana Pacers, on March 13. Like their previous matchup, a host of talented players are expected to be dressed in street clothes this evening. Each team’s first and second

Questions about the future of Dwane Casey as head coach of the Detroit Pistons were inevitable. Casey is coming off a fourth consecutive losing season with the organization. He is entering the final year of his contract. The team is widely reported to be looking toward a major improvement next season. Those questions accelerated when

By the end of the weekend, the Detroit Pistons season will come to a close. For fans, that’s a good and bad thing. Luckily, it means we’re one step closer to the NBA Playoffs — where the NBA shifts into high gear — and the NBA Draft Lottery, where the Pistons’ rebuild will hopefully shift

Congratulations, Dwane Casey, you’re no longer the head coach of the Detroit Pistons. You had an amazing five-year run where you did everything this rebuilding franchise asked of you. Now it is time for you to enjoy a healthy pay check, better hours, and more time with your family and friends as a member of

While the Detroit Pistons are as deep in the basement as they can, but are still able to play spoiler down the stretch. They gave the Miami Heat all they could handle for 43 minutes last night and have another chance to make things uncomfortable for an Eastern Conference playoff hopeful in the Brooklyn Nets,

If you were one of the few fans sticking around to the bitter end to this disappointing Detroit Pistons season, you were treated to the Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren show. While this season has been a bitter, miserable slog, the two Pistons rookies have been an unequivocal bright spot this season, and they are

Detroit Pistons general manager Troy Weaver would like the fans to know he too is disappointed this season. The Detroit Pistons posted a letter written by the GM acknowledging this season’s difficulties while also thanking the fans for their “patience, trust, loyalty and support.” You can read the full letter on nba.com. I’d say that

Game 79. We are now officially in the final week of the 2022-23 Detroit Pistons schedule. Praise be. With only four games to play and top lottery odds all but secured, there’s little to watch for if you are a Pistons fan. However, I’ve tried my best to come up with three things to keep

The Pistons Pulse is brought to you by The Detroit Free Press and is co hosted by Bryce Simon of MotorCityHoops and Omari Sankofa II, Detroit Pistons beat writer for The Detroit Free Press. Omari and I did a live, and in person, recording at the HopCat Detroit for episode 60 as my wife, Rani,

The Orlando Magic thoroughly pummeled the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night. It was mostly bad, but not all bad. After all, potential future Pistons star Victor Wembanyama did this earlier in the day: That’s about the only highlight I can provide… because the Pistons 128-102 loss in Orlando was the kind of game that never

The Detroit Pistons face the Orlando Magic tonight. Let’s talk about it. I’m belatedly writing this at halftime with the Pistons facing down a 19-point deficit against a young, superior Magic team. Detroit only managed to convert on three field goals in the entire second quarter. It’s as bleak as could be. Orlando is hitting

Much has changed since I fell in love with the NBA almost 25 years ago. But one thing I’ll always remember is the Sacramento Kings. With Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Peja Stojakovic and Vlade Divac, the Kings were one of the most fun teams in the league. For Pre-Teen Brady, it was basketball heroine. They

The bad news is the Detroit Pistons dropped the most winnable game on their remaining schedule, falling 121-115 to the Houston Rockets. The good news, if you’re looking for it, is that the loss nearly cements Detroit’s status as the team who will finish with the worst record in the NBA. Therefore, Detroit is not

It is not very often that you get a late-season matchup of teams with under 20 wins that is so meaningful for both teams. As things stand, the Pistons sit at 16 wins and the worst record in the NBA. The Rockets sit at 18 wins and the 2nd worth record in the NBA. Both

With all due respect to “The Process” iteration of the Philadelphia 76ers, tanking in the NBA may have a new poster child. Since the beginning of the 2019-20 season, no team has a lower winning percentage than the Detroit Pistons. That has resulted in the team acquiring several intriguing players through the draft. For Detroit,
