It feels like the Detroit Pistons are learning how to win. They’re learning how to close games. They’re seeing how good teams play. They’re learning how bad teams play. They’re learning on the fly. Detroit has had its fair share of close games in recent weeks — most recently, their victory in Toronto on Thursday

The Pistons continued their stretch of winning games that they shouldn’t against the Toronto Raptors last night in Toronto. That has become the norm lately for the Pistons as they start to hit their stride and everybody learns to play together. It might not be the best for draft pick purposes, but playing competitive games

Well, we got another banger of a game between the Detroit Pistons and Toronto Raptors. Dwane Casey’s Revenge continues; the Pistons beat the Raptors, 108-106. Jerami Grant led the way for Detroit with 26 points, Saddiq Bey added 23 points and six rebounds (as well as the game-sealing basket), and Cade Cunningham had a double-double

You know how this goes. If there’s one opponent that you can guarantee the Detroit Pistons will be ready to play against, it’s the Toronto Raptors. Dwane Casey is 8-3 against his former team since taking over in Detroit, and the Pistons are 2-0 against them this season. Now, playing some of their best ball

The ball screen may be the most talked about aspect of the Detroit Pistons offense under head coach Dwane Casey this season and last. This is largely due to the personnel that was selected with the Pistons top pick in the last 2 draft classes. Killian Hayes came into the NBA with the reputation as

You were not dreaming, Kelly Olynyk really did hit a buzzer beating baseline fadeaway to sink the Charlotte Hornets and end the Pistons 15 (!) game losing streak against them. The Pistons are hot right now having beat the Celtics before the all star break, beating the Cavaliers after the break, and then playing the

It is the eve of March, and that means that March Madness is almost upon us. For Detroit Pistons fans, that means a chance to pay a little closer attention to some of the top prospects in the upcoming NBA Draft. While the Pistons are a on a three-game winning streak, they are currently projected

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 14-46 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about what we want to see from the Pistons’ last 20ish games of the season, Dwane Casey’s plan for Isaiah Stewart, Cade Cunningham winning the Clorox Rising Stars

The long nightmare is over. The Detroit Pistons, for the first time in 16 attempts, beat the Charlotte Hornets. But, boy it was not easy. It ultimately ended with Kelly Olynyk hitting a baseline fadeaway with no time left in overtime. But it was quite the rollercoaster to get to that point. Detroit looked like

A night after losing to the Boston Celtics, the Detroit Pistons travel to the Charlotte Hornets looking to break a 15-game losing streak against the Hornets. Both of this year’s matchups have resulted in Charlotte scoring 140 points in blowout wins. In addition to the recent history, the Pistons and Hornets are two teams with

On this episode of the Motor City Hoops podcast I am joined by Lauren L. Williams, Pistons beat writer for MLive. We will dive into what we saw from the Pistons in their first 2 games returning from the All Star Break and what Lauren wants to see from the team down the stretch. I

A game at noon? What a perfect way to really get your Saturday going. The Detroit Pistons will look for their second straight win over the Boston Celtics and to have the first three-game winning streak of the season. The Pistons will look to their bench to provide the energy, defense and rebounding that have

A noon game on a Saturday in February is weird. Matinee games happen, but they are typically reserved for days like MLK Day or Sundays. The Pistons entered the All Star Break on a high note after beating the Boston Celtics and have exited the break with a win over the Cavaliers on Thursday. Granted,

As the season’s unofficial second half gets underway, the Detroit Pistons are going to struggle to thread the needle in addressing two priorities. They must allow their current core players to continue to play together and build chemistry, and they also must use these last two dozen games to dust off some little-used pieces and

It was either stealthy tanking or bad basketball. Maybe both. The Detroit Pistons led the Cleveland Cavaliers by 10 points late on Monday at Little Caesars Arena. After knocking off the Boston Celtics in the last game before the NBA All-Star break, it looked like the Pistons were on their way to another win over

The Cleveland Cavaliers are finally back. And this time, they’re back without LeBron James at the helm. The Detroit Pistons are chasing what the Cavaliers have achieved, success with a young core that has lead to not moral wins, but tangible wins in the standings. Cleveland rebuilt the right way. They finally got it right.

It’s finally happening. Teal is coming back. For one season, anyway. While nothing is confirmed, a massive trove of jerseys alleged to be used next season includes one Detroit Pistons fit — a “Classic Edition” jersey featuring the late-90s teal and flaming horse. Yes, you will be able to buy a Cade Cunningham jersey (and

Now that we’ve looked at jumpy-jump guys and shooters, it’s time to look at guys that are just a straight bucket. As the title suggests, these guys are known for scoring a lot of points. Some may have some overlying skills of being explosive or being good shooters, but what they all have in common

On this episode of the Motor City Hoops podcast I am joined by Sham Mohile, contributor at DetroitBadBoys, and major Detroit Piston fan. Sham is a person I have got to know pretty well over the past couple of months and I was so excited to talk All Star Weekend and Detroit basketball with him.
