The Pistons won’t be playing on Christmas day, but they will likely be spending Christmas on the road as their 3 game road trip that started on Tuesday in New York continues to Miami. It will conclude with a game in San Antonio on December 26. It is unfortunate that the team will have to

With the Omicron variant sweeping through the NBA, it seems every team needs reinforcements. That’s why the league has provided teams with a hardship, allowing them to add an additional player to offset each who tests positive for the virus. This has resulted in a who’s who of, “Wow, I remember that guy!” signings: The

Detroit Pistons rookie Cade Cunningham has entered the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. The announcement was the proverbial other shoe to drop after it was reported earlier Wednesday that the team had signed Cheick Diallo of the Motor City Cruise to a 10-day contract. With a full

I truly feel bad that every defensive breakdown I do ends up being from such a negative perspective. There are areas (and individuals) where the Detroit Pistons defense is performing well that could be highlighted. I think everyone in the Pistons fan base would agree that there is plenty of room to get better, especially

In the 2020 NBA Draft, the Detroit Pistons selected the undersized center out of Washington, Isaiah Stewart. Standing at just 6-foot-9 with a limited perimeter game, the Stewart pick was widely considered a reach. An early-season injury to Jahil Okafor vaulted Stewart from a third-string project to the backup center. He was quick to win

On episode 75 of the Motor City Hoops podcast I bring you my instant recap and reactions to the Pistons Tuesday night game vs the Knicks. 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

The Detroit Pistons were able to cut a 22-point second-half deficit to 5 behind strong bench play, but the team’s anemic offense and complete lack of size eventually allowed the New York Knicks to prevail 105-91 Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. The Pistons simply had no answer for the size of Mitchell Robinson off

There may not be a bigger disappointment early on than the New York Knicks. Coming off a revelation of a season last year, they’ve struggled to start this season. Julius Randle has regressed, Kemba Walker has been a bust, and RJ Barrett just isn’t good enough to fill in the gaps. Luckily for them, they

On episode 74 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Ku Khahil, host of the absolutely incredible Locked on Pistons Podcast. Even though this was an all mailbag episode we had to start off by talking about the Detroit Pistons ending their 14 game losing streak Sunday night vs the Heat. Ku

The Detroit Pistons won a basketball game. This is not a drill. It didn’t always look promising, but the Pistons snapped their 14-game losing streak, beating the Miami Heat 100-90. The Heat took a nine-point lead in the second quarter while Max Strus was torching nets, and it looked like it was going to be

The Detroit Pistons could make history tonight, but it’s the kind they’d mostly like to avoid. With a loss against the Miami Heat, Detroit would tie the record for consecutive losses in a season, which would match them for the 1979-80 season and again in 1993-94. This is not the kind of landmark you want

After a disappointing loss to the Houston Rockets Saturday, a game many thought would end the Detroit Pistons‘ epic losing streak, Detroit is starring down the barrel of history. A loss tonight to the visiting Miami Heat would set a new single-season losing record for our young Detroit Pistons. They are currently tied, with 14

The Pistons and Rockets squared off for a random Saturday matinee game. The reason for the random matinee game is because this is the first time in the history of Little Caesars Arena that both the Pistons and Red Wings played in the same day. The Rockets play fast, and the Pistons wanted to match

OK, losing is all well and good when a top draft pick is on the top of the to-do list, but enough is enough. The Detroit Pistons need to win a game. Thirteen consecutive losses is excessive. The team needs to win a game, and its best shot anytime in the near future is against

Episode 74 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast (dropping Tuesday, December 21st) will be an ALL MAILBAG episode. Producer of MCH, Wes Davenport, will present YOUR questions about the Detroit Pistons and everything else for myself and our guest to discuss. This week we will be joined by a good friend of the MCH podcast

The Detroit Pistons finally got a long-awaited breakout game from struggling forward Saddiq Bey, and for a while, it seemed like the team would have enough to break their 12-game losing streak. Of course, this is the Pistons, and a team that is no stranger to coughing up double-digit leads did it again and was

If you ever want to learn to hate the NBA trade season, all you need to do is pitch a dumb premise like “I’m going to come up with a Jerami Grant trade for each team in the NBA” and it’ll do the trick. Jerami Grant is one of the hottest names on the NBA

Hamidou Diallo is yet another Detroit Pistons player I had far too high of expectations for coming into this season. Watching him after the trade and even watching some games from last season with the Thunder for the DBB “Player Review” series, I was all in. That excitement was QUICKLY put into check at the

On episode 73 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Brandon Dent (known on twitter as @DetroitKoolAid) who is a Detroit Pistons and Motor City Cruise credentialed media member for the Woodward Sports Network. KoolAid and myself dive into the Jerami Grant injury and what it means for the current roster AND
