For the second time this season, the Detroit Pistons will play back-to-back games against the same opponent as they welcome in the Denver Nuggets tonight. Detroit dropped a close one in Denver on Sunday, turning it over twice in the final minute to fall 117-11. Game Vitals When: 7 p.m. ETWhere: Little Caesars Arena in

On episode 85 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Nick Willis, a University of Michigan alum and Detroit Pistons fan. We ask Nick about his thoughts on the possible Jerami Grant trade, what he has seen from Cade Cunningham, and all the other storylines around this team. As a fan, we

The stove is heating up in advance of the 2022 NBA trade deadline, which falls just over two weeks from now on Feb. 10. The question on every Detroit Pistons fan’s mind leading up to that deadline is whether or not Jerami Grant will be traded. While it’s far from guaranteed that Grant will be

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 11-34 Detroit Pistons. This week is Vet Week on the pod; Ben Gulker and I talk about all the veteran players who have propelled the team through the month of January, if Jerami Grant’s return from

The Detroit Pistons were able to overcome a 16 point second-half deficit to tie the game at 111 with just over 1 minute to go, but two late turnovers sealed their fate and they fell to the Denver Nuggets 117-111 at Ball Arena in Denver. The Pistons were short-handed as Kelly Olynyk, just recently back

The Detroit Pistons end their West Coast road trip Sunday in Denver as they play underdog to the Nuggets. This is game one of a back-to-back home and away series, as Detroit will play host to Denver on Tuesday. Last time out, the Pistons suffered a hard-fought loss against the Utah Jazz in the third

The Detroit Pistons fought hard but lost a competitive basketball game against the Utah Jazz. After Detroit was blown out in all of their losses for the last three weeks, the competitive nature of the loss was a small step in the right direction. The Pistons were in the game late. Down four with over

Detroit Pistons assistant coach Rex Kalamian has been named the new head coach of the Armenian national team, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. While this is his first season coaching with the Detroit Pistons, Kalamian is a well-traveled NBA veteran in coaching circles, serving stints with the Los Angeles Clippers, Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets,

Rookies are almost always universally bad. Let’s put that fact on the table right away. Young players need time to develop, learn the speed of the NBA game and figure out how to be effective on the floor. They need time to get better, stronger and faster. That doesn’t mean they are bad or destined

There was a basketball game in Sacramento on Wednesday night. It wasn’t fun. Until it was. It was two teams — one trying like hell to make something of its season and another trying equally hard to land a top-three pick — playing one of the uglier high-scoring games you’ll see. It was high school

If you haven’t heard, Kelly Olynyk has been cleared to play and could be returning to action as early as tonight against the Sacramento Kings. He is officially listed as probable. Having Olynyk back will be a huge spark to the Detroit Pistons bench, but what if it could be a spark to the starting

The simple calculus for the Detroit Pistons is to draft the best player available. The team is still devoid of top-end talent and the end all, be all is to take the best player. But there are often many good players who have a wide array of talent. The next level of arithmetic is to

The Detroit Pistons visit the Sacramento Kings on the second night of a back-to-back. Detroit lost resoundingly a night ago to the Golden State Warriors and looks to rebound against a decidedly less formidable opponent. Killian Hayes’ status is in doubt after he left the Warriors game with a hip contusion. Kelly Olynyk is expected

The Detroit Pistons stumbled out of the gate early on the first of their four-game West Coast road trip falling behind by as many as 34 in the first half and eventually falling to the Golden State Warriors 102-86. Things were so easy for Golden State early that they started playing a little fast and

The NBA schedule tonight is light — just the Timberwolves vs. the Knicks and your Detroit Pistons facing off against the Golden State Warriors. The Pistons have gotten absolutely demolished by good teams (see Bulls, Chicago) and shocked great teams (see Bucks, Milwaukee). Which version are we in for tonight? I’m hoping for something at

The Jerami Grant rumor mill never seems to stop churning, but even I had to stop and take notice when Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report dropped a heater of a story centered on Jerami Grant, his trade value and even a little Ben Simmons. Fischer is well-connected throughout the league, and he’s dropped his fair

Jerami Grant and Kelly Olynyk represent not only two of the most highly paid and talented members of the young Detroit Pistons. The two of them also represent more than 40% of the career NBA minutes played on the entire Pistons roster prior to this season. Both have seen extended absences due to injuries —

The Detroit Pistons visit the Golden State Warriors to begin a four-game West Coast road trip. The Pistons look to build on a strong 5-4 start to 2022 with another win against a top-tier opponent. Kelly Olynyk appears close to returning but is listed as questionable for the game. Frank Jackson and Jerami Grant are

On episode 83 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Jared Greenberg of NBAonTNT & NBATV. We ask Jared what he thinks Jerami Grant’s true value is and what the Pistons may get in return. We also find out what the trade value could be for multiple other members of the Pistons

It is no surprise that second-year point guard Killian Hayes is the most polarizing member of the Detroit Pistons after an injury-marred an ineffective rookie year. What is most surprising is who might be second on that list — Trey Lyles. First, it’s a surprise he’s getting enough minutes to warrant a large amount of
