On episode 80 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast (follow on twitter @MotorCityHoops) I am joined by Chris Oliver, the founder of Basketball Immersion, The Basketball Podcast and Immersion Videos as well as a basketball mentor, trainer, and coach. We start off the episode with Chris giving his perspective on the culture of the Pistons

The Detroit Pistons rotation is starting to fill out with bonafide NBA players again. Cade Cunningham, Killian Hayes, Trey Lyles, and more are out of health and safety protocols and returning to the lineup. They might not recognize a guy who never left — Saddiq Bey. Bey has carried the offensive and minutes load along

The mass COVID-19 outbreak has forced teams across the NBA to get a close look at various players on 10-day hardship deals. Some teams like the Detroit Pistons are using these hardship contracts to give G-League players an opportunity while other teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks are bringing in veterans, like former

It feels like it’s been 16 years since the Detroit Pistons last beat the Milwaukee Bucks. For Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co., beating the Pistons has looked as easy as pie over the past four seasons. The Bucks have throttled them in the regular season. They’ve done it in the postseason. Basically, when Milwaukee and Detroit

Coming off (arguably) their most exciting win of the season, the Detroit Pistons hit the road for a game against the defending champion Milwaukee Bucks. The best part about it? They look like they might finally be getting healthy. The Pistons assigned Cassius Stanley, Deividas Sirvydis and Trayvon Palmer to the Motor City Cruise on

We are only 34 games into the 2021-22 season, but it’s already been quite the tumultuous start for the Detroit Pistons. The losses were inevitable, but the way many of them have come has discouraged the fanbase. Many games have not been competitive. Injuries have stunted some development. Second-year players have struggled to make the

Over the past 7-10 days, I have continually tried to look at the “silver lining” with so many Detroit Pistons players out due to either Covid-19 health and safety protocols or working their way back from injury. Again, I want to wish all of the best and HEALTH to those players and everyone dealing with

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 6-28 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about Hami and Saddiq stepping up in the face of multiple players in Health and Safety protocols, who – if anyone – called up from the Motor City

Still down to just two rotational players and facing a team they surrendered 144 points to just days ago, it was going to take a little magic for the Detroit Pistons to muscle out a win against the San Antonio Spurs. Fortunately, they got just that as the Pistons’ 2022 started with a 117-116 ovetime

Thanks to the Omicron variant, Greg Monroe is back. The former Detroit Pistons centerpiece returned to the NBA this week on a 10-day hardship deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He had a solid first game back, scoring 11 points while grabbing 9 rebounds to go with six assists in a Minnesota win. Even better was

The extremely shorthanded Detroit Pistons managed to put up a truly admirable fight, at one point in the third quarter leading New York by 14 points, before eventually dropping a surprisingly fun Wednesday night battle to the Knicks, 94-85, at Little Caesers Arena. The outlook for this one appeared bleak before the game was even

The Detroit Pistons, decimated by the Omicron variant, have signed three players to 10-day hardship deals over the past 24 hours: Justin Robinson and Trayvon Palmer yesterday and Micah Potter today. It’s ok, we’re all in the same, confused boat here. Potter, 23, may be familiar to Big Ten basketball fans as he spent his

The Detroit Pistons returns home to face the struggling New York Knicks after an unsuccessful 0-3 road trip. Detroit looks to field a COVID-ravaged lineup for the third game since originally losing Cade Cunningham to health and safety protocols on Dec. 23. If you follow Detroit’s G-League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise, this match up

On episode 77 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Omari Sankofa, one of the best beat writers in the NBA covering our Pistons for the Detroit Free Press. Omari and I start off the episode talking about the Covid outbreak within the Pistons organization and NBA at large. I get Omari’s

With the Detroit Pistons ravaged by health and safety protocols, five of the nine rotation members for the Pistons tonight played in the G-League showcase for the Motor City Cruise. The lack of real NBA talent and experience showed in a major way against the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs, who had a mostly intact

If you thought the Pistons were undermanned on Thursday in Miami, wait until you get a look at Detroit’s active roster today against the San Antonio Spurs. Already down a number of key players, James Edwards of The Athletic announced this morning that Cory Joseph and Josh Jackson would be joining the already hefty number

ABSOLUTELY first and foremost, I want to send all the best to Cade Cunningham (and those close to him) and wish them health as he has tested positive for Covid and entered the NBA health and safety protocols. I also want to do the same for the rest of the Detroit Pistons who are dealing

Here we are at the 30 game mark. I take it many of us in the Detroit Pistons fanbase are ready for the season to end and see some new blood. Or are anxious for the NBA trade deadline to infuse some fresh and needed talent. This is not to disparage anyone on this current

Only a few days ago the Detroit Pistons were able to break the 14-game losing streak with a COVID-free roster at home against the Miami Heat. Fast forward to tonight and with the news of Killian Hayes, Isaiah Stewart, Saben Lee and Rodney McGruder joining Cade Cunningham in protocols mere hours before tip-off, tonight’s game

While the last two seasons have had their share of difficulties for the Detroit Pistons, they were incredibly fortunate in some respects — they almost completely avoided any issues with losing players for long stretches to COVID-19 or health and safety protocols. That remained true until two days ago when Cade Cunningham was announced as
