There was this game between the Detroit Pistons and Washington Wizards in January 1998 in the nation’s capital. Detroit, built around core of Grant Hill, Jerry Stackhouse and Brian Williams (who didn’t play that match), lost in disappointing fashion during a disappointing season a year after two consecutive early playoff exits. This nondescript January game

With the 2020-21 season in the rearview mirror, Matt and I discuss the Pistons end to the regular season, and their draft lottery odds. Speaking of the lottery, we both go over who we’d select in the top five of the draft (one through five). From there, we move on to a Detroit LEGEND in

The Detroit Pistons season might be over, but basketball is continuing. For the first time it will feature a play-in tournament which is like a pre-post-season. Essentially, it’s a way to hoover up all the bad teams that would have made the playoffs and gotten swept in the first round, add some additional bad teams

On Detroit Bad Boys, we’re gonna be talking draft for the foreseeable future, so I figured I might as well start doing Big Boards. This board is going to be a blend of the guys I think have proven they can produce, the guys I think have upside, and areas of need for the Detroit

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk only a little bit about your 20-52 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I spend more time on Ben Wallace making the Basketball Hall of Fame, Dwane Casey’s extension, and what non-Pistons team we’ll be paying attention to in

The Detroit Pistons dropped the final game of the season to the Miami Heat 120-107 and end the year with the second-worst record in the NBA. In a game that saw the Heat with nothing to play for and rest Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Trevor Ariza, Kendrick Nunn and Goran Dragic, nothing could slow down

The Detroit Pistons limp to the finish line of the 2020-21 season tonight against the Miami Heat. The Pistons will surely be outmatched talent wise, but the big question is whether the Heat will have anything at all to play for. Sub-question: does that even matter? The answer to the first question will be made

Dwane Casey coached the Detroit Pistons to a much-needed loss on Friday against the Denver Nuggets, his first since signing a contract extension that will keep him on the sidelines at Little Caesars Arena through the 2023-24 season. We looked at the ramifications of the deal and what it means going forward for the rebuilding

The Detroit Pistons were already missing plenty of firepower and then their ranks shrank and shrank again in a 104-91 loss to the Denver Nuggets. Detroit already committed to resting its roster of veterans, as they have often in the season’s final weeks. Then rookie center Isaiah Stewart was forced to miss the game for

Tonight the Detroit Pistons play their penultimate game of the season. They host the Denver Nuggets in their end-of-season home stand that will conclude Sunday at 8 p.m. (the time was made official) when they’ll tip off their final game of the season against the Miami Heat. Because there are teams losing in bunches to

Killian Hayes receives the most hype and Saddiq Bey garners most of the headlines. It makes sense. Hayes is a lottery pick at perhaps the most consequential position on the floor and is the anointed point guard of the future in Detroit. Bey is the plug and play guy who fell in the first round

The Detroit Pistons and Dwane Casey are in the latter stages of a one-year contract extension for the veteran Pistons head coach, according to Adrian Wojnarowkski of ESPN. The new deal adds an extra year onto his original five-year pact and will pay him through the 2023-24 season, Woj reports. Contract extensions don’t necessarily guarantee

In this week’s episode of Inside The Cylinder, Matt and I discuss the Pistons 119-100 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. While there wasn’t much to be excited about from an on-court perspective, this loss means Detroit is only two more Ls away from securing a bottom-two record for the 2020-21 season. We’ll take a look

In one of the more consequential game for the Detroit Pistons’ long-term future in quite some time, the Minnesota Timberwolves won in a laugher, 119-100. The loss for the Pistons drops them to 20-50 and puts them at least one full game clear of the third-worst record in the league with only two games remaining.

In the immortal words of Sheneneh Jenkins, “Oh my gooooooodness …. “ The Detroit Pistons and Martin Lawrence have teamed up to launch some Pistons gear inspired by the classic Detroit-set sitcom from the 1990s. Martin ran for five season on Fox from 1992-97 and featured Lawrence as the titular character, a radio DJ in

Detroit Pistons fans are surprisingly optimistic, outside of some expected doom and gloom surrounding the upcoming NBA Draft Lottery. New GM Troy Weaver has radically transformed his roster during his inaugural season, he seems to have hit on two of his first four draft picks in Isaiah Stewart and Saddiq Bey, with plenty of glass-half-full

In a season full of young Detroit Pistons turning in unexpectedly impressive performances, it finally seems like it is Sekou Doumbouya’s turn. It’s been a rough season for the second-year French forward. After showing some real promise over a two- to three-week stretch his rookie year, the obvious expectation was that Sekou would expand on
