I don’t think you can say this about any other season matchup for the Pistons, but they are looking to win the season series against the Charlotte Hornets. It is even crazier that it is being said about an opponent like the Hornets given how poorly the Pistons have played against the Hornets the last

Post-All-Star break means it is officially the 2023 NBA Draft season for the Detroit Pistons and for Pistons fans. 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. This week, Bryce explores a potential mid-lottery pick in

As the Detroit Pistons crawl toward the finish line of an ugly season, the team will work to get some of their younger players who are still healthy some crucial minutes to set them up for a more competitive season in 2023-24. That’s the plan, anyway. You’d like for the team to build on its

The Detroit Pistons are losers of a season-high eight games in a row. During that losing streak, they’ve managed to post the league’s worst offense a completely reasonable 16th-rated defense, the second-to-worst turnover ratio and that is despite letting opponents shoot 41.7% from 3-point range. They also have managed to tumble all the way to

If the Detroit Pistons have you down in the dumps, it’s understandable. After all, they haven’t won a game since before Valentine’s Day. Believe it or not, things could be worse. They could be the Washington Wizards, a team that is perennially mediocre with no intentions on rebuilding anytime soon. They’re a flawed team with

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 are back this week talking about our Detroit Pistons on the court after an episode that was dedicated

Welcome to the latest installment of my 313 Thoughts, your weekly recap of all things Detroit Pistons. Each week Jack Kelly highlights all the relevant news, rumors and on-court play while embracing Detroit’s 313 identity. The formula is simple—I’ll detail; 3 Things to like, 1 Thing not to like and 3 Things to monitor. Following

A frustrated fan base seemingly wants big changes for the Detroit Pistons. They wanted big changes at the deadline — either a big swing for an established player or selling off quality vets for future draft capital to package in future deals. Neither happened. Rumors swirled around some of Detroit’s veteran players like Bojan Bogdanovic,

Let’s stir the pot a bit, this might be Jerami Grant’s last game in Detroit as a visitor if you like to believe free agency rumors in the middle of the season. I am not making a prediction or anything, but there could be a reason why he hasn’t signed an extension with the Blazers

I simulated the draft order on Tankathon precisely four times (in honor of Detroit’s 2004 championship) to pretty mixed results. First, the Detroit Pistons landed at No. 6, the furthest they can mathematically fall based on current standings. On second roll, they landed No. 1 and, presumably, Victor Wembanyama. Third time, Detroit got the second

When looking up the definition of “dog days” of a rebuild, it will now read ““the March 4th contest between the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers.” It was a night to forget for the Pistons as they lost big to the Cavaliers 114-90. Even short handed, it was turnovers and decision making that did in

Troy Weaver traded for James Wiseman with games like this in mind. The Detroit Pistons GM wanted more size. He thought the team needed enough big men to hang with the elites of the east, like the Cleveland Cavaliers. With Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen patrolling the paint, the Cavs are zigging while most of

When you lose Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, you’re bound to take a step back. However, I’m not sure many pegged the new-look Brooklyn Nets to be losers of six of seven games since Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson arrived in the big Durant swap. A team once built on stars traded them in so

The Detroit Pistons need big wings. Eugene Omoruyi fits the bill. The former Oklahoma City Thunder forward, who was waived earlier this week, has signed a 10-day deal with Detroit according to the team. It’s a solid shot by Troy Weaver at a position of need for the Pistons after the trade of Saddiq Bey.

Jaden Ivey pulled a Chris Webber. And he did it on C-Webb’s birthday. After rallying back from down 21 points, the Detroit Pistons had a chance to tie or take the lead against the struggling Chicago Bulls. Ivey, inbounding the ball without a timeout remaining, couldn’t find an angle to get Bojan Bogdanovic the ball.

Post-All-Star break means it is officially the 2023 NBA Draft season for the Detroit Pistons and for Pistons fans. 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.

Game 63. We are now officially on the home stretch, with only 20 games left in the 2022-2023 season. Tonight, the Pistons play host to their division rival; the Chicago Bulls. Though they enter tonight’s contest on the back of a 104-98 loss to the Toronto Raptors, the Bulls had been playing better since signing

The Detroit Pistons will honor the title-winning Detroit Shock team for its 20th anniversary during the March 9 contest against the Charlotte Hornets at Little Caesars Arena, the team announced. The Shock’s first title came one season after having the WNBA’s worst record. The team was led by WNBA Finals MVP Ruth Riley, Hall of

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 FINALLY dive head first into the 2023 NBA Draft with an emphasis in this episode on the top

What a weird game. For nearly three quarters, the Detroit Pistons were comatose. Down three starters — Jaden Ivey (personal), Bojan Bogdanovic (achilles), and Isaiah Stewart (hip) — against the Charlotte Hornets, the Pistons’ effort couldn’t have been worse. They couldn’t shoot. They wouldn’t defend. They were dead on arrival. Then, everything changed in the
