The Detroit Pistons need to get more athletic in the front court. The quartet of Isaiah Stewart, Trey Lyles, Luka Garza and Kelly Olynyk all bring different wrinkles to the table, but none are the type of bouncy, athletic big men that have grown prevalent across the league. On Sunday, GM Troy Weaver looked to

It was never pretty, but the Detroit Pistons outlasted the Orlando Magic to snap a two-game skid and come away with a 97-92 victory Saturday night in Little Caesars Arena. You could certainly tell two of the worst teams were playing against each other as the best you could say for either squad is that

Coming off a disheartening back-to-back that saw the Detroit Pistons lose all momentum they gained from their impressive victory against the Bucks, the Pistons look to right the ship against a fellow Eastern Conference bottom-dweller in the Orlando Magic. Detroit took some heat from the national media this week, as Charles Barkley and TNT’s “Inside

The Detroit Pistons have largely toiled in obscurity during one of their worst seasons in franchise history, but when you lose by 40 on a night when there are only four games on the schedule people are bound to take notice. And boy did the crew at Inside the NBA on TNT take notice of

On episode 81 of the Motor City Hoops podcast I bring you my instant recap and reactions to the Pistons Thursday night game vs the Grizzlies. 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

Hamidou Diallo tied the game between the Detroit Pistons and Memphis Grizzlies three minutes into the contest. Then Memphis ripped off 17 straight points and the game was over nearly as soon as it started. The first-quarter run was fueled by a slew of lazy drives that resulted in turnover on pass attempts through a

Isaiah Stewart is back … probably. The Detroit Pistons big man has been cleared from the reconditioning program that followed his removal from health and safety protocols. This means it is likely that Stewart is available to play tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies, and it means that the Pistons once again have their starting center.

Following a loss Wednesday night they were never really in, the Detroit Pistons look to rebound as they travel to take on the Memphis Grizzlies. Detroit’s blowout loss comes right after its first win streak of the season. The one upside for the Pistons is that, due to the blowout, no rotation member played more

The Detroit Pistons entered North Carolina with their sights set on breaking a 13-game losing streak that dates back to opening night of the 2017-18 season. Well, after keeping within striking distance of a victory for three quarters, Kelly Oubre Jr. and the hot-shooting Charlotte Hornets would blow out the visiting Detroit Pistons. Oubre Jr’s

The Detroit Pistons had what was probably the upset of the season against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. They played a complete game from start to finish and were able to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo mostly in check. Tonight’s task against the Hornets will not be quite as tough as Monday’s, but the Hornets are off

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
