On episode 72 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Richard Stayman (known on twitter as @MavsDraft) who is the host of the Locked on NBA Draft Podcast. We start off the episode talking about some of the key pieces of the Pistons young core and what Richard saw from them coming

The Detroit Pistons surrendered 42 points and allowed the Oklahoma City Thunder to hit their first 15 shots in the fourth quarter en route to OKC’s 114-103 come from behind win at Little Caesars Arena. It was the Thunder’s first game since losing by an NBA record 73 points to the Memphis Grizzlies, and even

It’s already (finally?) time for Detroit Pistons fans to start looking at who is being talked about as the top prospects in the 2022 NBA Draft. The team is currently in the running for the worst record in the NBA, and it’s hard to see how that won’t be the case all season without drastic

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we’re talking about your 4-18 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about the burgeoning chemistry between Cade Cunningham and Killian Hayes, the on-court struggles of Saddiq Bey, and a lot of Michigan football. This is now a college football

The Detroit Pistons and Oklahoma City Thunder are not only the two worst teams in the NBA over the past 10 games, but they are both coming into tonight’s matchup shorthanded. The Pistons will be without Kelly Olynyk, Cory Joseph and Hamidou Diallo while the Thunder will be without the services of Shai Gilgeous Alexander.

When dealing with a team with so much youth, the rope has to be a little bit longer before you make any adjustments when players are struggling. The Detroit Pistons currently have a lot of players struggling. When it was 10 games into the season, any talk on changing the starting lineup was premature. Now

This film review will not be looking at Frank Jackson’s overall game in terms of what he brings on the defensive end or rebounding. Although, I do think it is worth noting that the Detroit Pistons reserve guard has seen his rebounding (Per 100 possessions) drop by almost 50% from last season while his defensive

Tyson Etienne is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound guard out of Wichita State University. Known primarily as a shooter, Etienne tested the draft waters last season before ultimately deciding to return to Wichita State where he look to lead the Shockers to an NCAA tournament appearance. Etienne will be in the running for best shooter in this

On episode 71 of the Motor City Hoops podcast I bring you my instant recap and reactions to the Pistons Thursday night game vs the Suns. 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

A streak was going to be broken on Thursday night. The Detroit Pistons took on the Phoenix Suns with a chance to break out of their seven-game losing streak. The Suns entered riding a 17-game winning streak, one victory away from setting a new franchise best. I’ll let you guess which streak is still going.

Say it with me now. Trap. Game. Trap game. Trap game. Trap Game. That is the only shot the Detroit Pistons have against the Phoenix Suns tonight, if we’re being honest. The Suns played the NBA’s biggest game of the season, besting the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. They play those same Warriors in San

The Phoenix Suns are the hottest (pun intended) team in the NBA, winners of a ridiculous 17-straight games. The Detroit Pistons are… not. In fact, the Pistons are the coldest team in the NBA, losers of seven-straight games. I hope you’re ready for a late night butt-kicking tonight as Detroit wraps up its five-game road

Detroit Pistons fans are living through the angst of the dreaded sophomore slump as second-year players Isaiah Stewart and Saddiq Bey are struggling with new roles, going against starters on a nightly basis and continuing to develop and evolve their games. Those two players are coming off of All-NBA selections and fans’ hopes were probably

We’re back in the lab dissecting a new area of Dwane Casey’s Detroit Pistons offense. This time, we are covering a hot topic among fans — offense against zone defense. Playing against a zone was always harder for me as a player AND is the same as a coach. As a player, it is so

The Detroit Pistons entered the night with four straight losses to the Portland Trail Blazer’s on Portland’s home court. They also entered the night with a season-worst 6-game losing streak, combine their recent struggles with a Blazer’s team that were 9-1 at home this season, and yeah…you can take a guess at how this game

If star players keep resting against the Detroit Pistons, maybe the Detroit’s players will get so offended they’ll actually win a game. This time, it is point guard Damian Lillard taking a look at the calendar and deciding this would be the perfect time to get a solid night’s rest. In his place is the

Well, the Detroit Pistons are at the 20-game mark, and things look a lot bleaker for the team than they did at the 10-game mark. A lot of readers thought I graded a little too high, and we talked about grading on a curve last time, but it was 10 games and this is one

You better start brewing your coffee for this one as the Pistons yearly Western Conference road trip continues. They always seem to have these early in the season, which I guess is good to get it out of the way. The Pistons will face the Portland Trail Blazers who are losers of three straight games.

On episode 70 of the Motor City Hoops Podcast I am joined by Sean Corp, Editor and contributor for the DetroitBadBoys website. We start off the episode diving into the continued shooting struggles for the Pistons after 20 games and who should shoulder the majority of the blame. We then get into personnel as we

The story for the Detroit Pistons as the regular season started was Saddiq Bey and the flashes he showed of shot creation during the preseason. He looked comfortable doing it and was pulling out moves never seen out of him during his rookie season. Players should always strive to expand their games. Having a young
