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.

Welcome to Vol. 4 of our NBA Rookie Rankings! The time has come to see how the rookie class stacks up after another month of data. If you missed Vols. 1, 2, or 3, or want a refresher on where players ranked, you can find the previous editions below: (Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3).

It’s NBA All-Star Weekend and while the Detroit Pistons don’t have anyone playing in Sunday’s signature showcase, they will have three players in tonight’s Rising Stars Challenge tournament. Rookie Cade Cunningham and sophomores Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart are all playing in a new tourney format. Four teams of seven players apiece made up of

The optimal outcome for Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart is a player who combines his defense and hustle with an ability to become a shooting threat and a short-roll passer. But is that the only avenue for him to become not only a quality player but a starting-caliber center? I believe the answer is, there

The Detroit Pistons are once again one of the two worst teams in the NBA. With a record of just 12-49, they are pretty much equaling the deficient pace of last year’s 20-win team. The big question for Pistons fans is whether that makes them happy or sad. Before the season, we published a Detroit

To say these are two franchises going in different directions is an understatement. The Detroit Pistons were losers of eight in a row and 11 of 12. The Boston Celtics were winners of nine in a row and 11 of 12. Over those dozen games the point differential between the two teams was a stark

On this episode of Motor City Hoops podcast I bring you my instant recap and reactions to the Pistons Wednesday nights game vs the Celtics. I will give my overall outlook on the game and a rundown of what we saw from the Pistons. I will also give my biggest takeaway, player of the game,

On this episode of the Motor City Hoops podcast I am joined by Keith Smith, contributor at Spotrac, CelticsBlog and the FrontOfficeShow. Keith covers the NBA at large and I felt like he would be the perfect guest to break down every trade we saw at the NBA trade deadline. Keith is also your go-to
