Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 12-37 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I discuss Cade Cunningham’s up-and-down week, Jerami Grant trade rumors, Killian Hayes’ new role off the bench, and Frank Jackson’s return to the rotation. Recorded prior to Sunday’s win against

Cade Cunningham is growing up before our eyes. The question is no longer whether he was a worth pick at No. 1 overall. It isn’t even whether Cunningham might be destined for stardom. The question is whether superstardom is on the horizon. If Cunningham puts together a few more halves like his second-half showing against

Welcome to the Rookie of the Year race. The presumptive front-runner this year is Evan Mobley, who looks to be a generationally excellent defensive player with plenty of offense in his game as well. He’s helped the Cleveland Cavaliers vault from near the bottom to the top of the conference in just one season. Not

On Jan. 18 against the Golden State Warriors, Detroit Pistons point guard Killian Hayes suffered a hip injury in a collision with a baseline camera man. To make matters worse, this was the same right hip he had surgery on during his rookie campaign. Fortunately, the second-year guard was only sidelined for a couple of

To say the Pistons started off this game poorly would be an understatement. The Pistons missed a lot of easy layups early, and that was just the tip of the iceberg. They played poor defense, turned the ball over a lot, and kept missing shots. They only had 8 points through 7 minutes of the

We’re two weeks away from the NBA Trade Deadline, which means we may be two weeks away from the end of Jerami Grant’s tenure with the Detroit Pistons. Or maybe we’re not? Marc Stein of the New York Times is reporting that “Arn Tellem [is] said to be open to an immediate trade.” That’s interestingly

Fresh off a pair of honourable losses to the Denver Nuggets, Detroit heads to Florida for a brief one-game road trip against the Orlando Magic. The 2022 Detroit Pistons look to get back to their winning ways against the one team in the league who has a worse record than themselves. In their two previous

If you haven’t heard, the NBA trade deadline is coming up on Feb. 10. Every year there is a lot of hype around the trade deadline as fans think their team is going to make the big move to put their team over the top. And most years fans are underwhelmed as a few role

Cade Cunningham had the best game of his young career Tuesday against the Denver Nuggets, and the stats he put up were absolutely eye popping. He scored 34 points, and he added 8 assists, 8 rebounds, and 4 blocks. That was something no rookie had done since Michael Jordan. The most glaring state, however, might

I don’t know if Cade Cunningham is going to win rookie of the year or not, and quite frankly, I don’t care. All I care about is the fact that this man IS on the Detroit Pistons and this man IS the best rookie in the draft class. If the voters want to give it

Well DBBers, we have reached just over the halfway point of the season. With the recent win against Sacramento, some competitive losses against Denver and the continued emergence of Cade Cunningham, spirits are high and it seems like the team is playing more together. Add to that the quick integration of Kelly Olynyk once he

On episode 86 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I bring you my instant recap and reactions to the Pistons Tuesday night game vs the Nuggets. 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

Cade Cunningham finally had his coming-out party. The Detroit Pistons rookie scored a career-high 34 points to go with 8 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks. The only other rookie to reach those thresholds was some guy named Michael Jordan. Ever heard of him? Unfortunately, that herculean effort wasn’t enough as Detroit fell to the

In a new piece focused mainly on James Harden’s interest in testing free agency and perhaps migrating from Brooklyn to Philadelphia in the offseason there is also an interesting trade rumor regarding Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant. Both the Atlanta Hawks and Sacramento Kings “have emerged as strong suitors for Jerami Grant,” writes Jake Fischer.

I (and all of you) anxiously awaited for the return of Kelly Olynyk, first from a knee injury and now a healthy return from health and safety protocols, so I could do a breakdown of his game and what it does for the Pistons offense. I watched the Detroit Pistons face off against the Golden

The NBA trade deadline is fast approaching, and Jerami Grant remains one of the hottest names on the trade market — but that market seems to be cooling. And now, reports indicate that Jerami Grant’s reps have submitted a list of teams to Detroit Pistons brass that Grant would be “interested in going to play

As we approach the season’s unofficial midway point, All-Star Weekend, the timing seems right to take stock in the play of the Detroit Pistons’ second-year wing; Saddiq Bey. Forty-six games into his sophomore campaign, the former first-round selection has experienced the swings and roundabouts of so many second-year players before him. Fresh off a successful
