Nearly one month ago, the Detroit Bad Boys staff came together to rank the top prospects in the upcoming 2022 NBA Draft. Each contributor’s personal Big Board of the NBA Draft lottery was weighted and then we aggregated the results together to create Vol. 1 of our DBB Big Board. Importantly, that was before the

There has been very few times in which the Pistons are favored in a game this season. Even though the Wizards have 10 more wins than the Pistons this season, the current iteration of the Washington Wizards is not a better team than the Pistons as they are in the midst of an 8 game

Everyone’s bracket is busted, some of the best players have already bowed out, the world is rooting for Saint Peter’s and Purdue and Michigan are all that remains of the Big 10 contingent. The 2022 NCAA Tournament is in full swing, and the madness will surely continue. However, for our purposes the most important component

The Detroit Pistons have had promising stretches this season. However, their recent play was… not one of those stretches. Turns out, the Atlanta Hawks — playing their second game in as many nights — were the perfect remedy. Detroit came out hot and buried the sleep-walking Hawks in the third, leading by as many as

It is crazy that there are only 10 games left in the 2021-2022 NBA season. For a team like the Hawks, they are at least in position for the play-in tournament, so their season won’t be over in 10 games. For the Pistons, it is all about developing players down the stretch and hoping for

The Detroit Pistons are shorthanded and struggling down the stretch. After winning six of eight games before and after the NBA All-Star Game, they’ve regressed and tumbled back to the bottom with six losses in their past seven games. Hamidou Diallo and Frank Jackson, both nursing injuries, seem unlikely to return this season, which leaves

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 Bryce start off the episode talking about the biggest storylines from the past weeks slate of games including Dwane

Greg Kelser said what we all were thinking. “Pistons just don’t have the life right now,” the Pistons broadcaster said of Detroit’s play after Dwane Casey called a timeout with just over nine minutes left in the second quarter. At that point, the Pistons were down 40-26. Detroit played host to a Portland team down

Both squads are playing their B and C teams, and I’m not sure if it’s going to make for watchable basketball. The Detroit Pistons look like they might rest Jerami Grant and Cory Joseph, and will likely be without Kelly Olynyk. That means that if for some reason Rodney McGruder doesn’t suit up then the

I would love to see an analysis that could quantify who was more polarizing within the Detroit Pistons fan community among Jerami Grant, Killian Hayes, and coach Dwane Casey. At this point in the season, I felt I “went to the film” quite a bit on those two players, but had less of a handle

If you think the Detroit Pistons and tanking belong in the same sentence, I’m not quite sure what you would call what the Portland Trail Blazers are doing since the NBA Trade Deadline. New coach Chauncey Billups has had to plumb the depths of his roster and the G League in order to field a

It was a mild surprise when Jerami Grant was not traded by the Detroit Pistons during the most recent NBA Trade Deadline, but even at the time the smart money said he could just as easily be moved in the offseason. That smart money appears to be … smart money as The Athletic’s Shams Charania

Cade Cunningham is listed as probable to return tonight as the Detroit Pistons face the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cunningham missed the previous two games with a non-COVID illness. Cade back in the lineup means it is the final chance to see Cunningham and Evan Mobley go head to head. The two, along with Toronto Raptors forward

While most of the basketball-watching world was distracted by the opening night of the NCAA tournament, Saddiq Bey decided it would be a perfect time to drop a career-high 51 points on Thursday night in the Detroit Pistons’ win over the Orlando Magic. As with most good things in life, it came after a heart-to-heart

Yesterday, we covered all of Thursday’s opening-night games of the 2022 NCAA tournament. The games certainly did not disappoint even if some of the coaches (cough, John Calipari, cough) and players (cough, Keegan Murray, cough) did. Today we look at Friday’s full schedule of games and the prospects big and small that you should look

If you saw the injury report and care even a little bit about the NCAA Tournament, you probably didn’t watch a single second of this game. And I wouldn’t blame you at all if that was the case. However, you missed a masterful performance by Saddiq Bey. The Pistons started off this game rough, as

The two worst teams in the NBA, most of their good players out with injury or illness, literally the only game in town. The NBA. It’s faaaantastic.

You know how corporations and the government love to dump bad news on 5 p.m. on Friday or at the end of the week so that people might not notice it? That is what the NBA is doing tonight with the vaunted matchup between the Detroit Pistons vs. the Orlando Magic. On one hand, perhaps

In what has become an annual tradition, I typed up some brief notes on who to watch during the first day of our weekend-long basketball holiday also known as the 2022 NCAA Tournament. There are always reasons to pay close attention to the tourney — the upsets, the gambling, the fun. But for Detroit Pistons

The Detroit Pistons are a bad team. They’re a very bad one without Cade Cunningham in the lineup. Tuesday should have been an ugly night. Cunningham, playing the best ball of his young career, sat with a non-COVID injury as the Pistons hit the road to take on the East-leading Miami Heat. This should have
