Well, sitting up to sixteen players in a NBA game might look extreme. Even if it’s the end of the season, and it has become a widespread thing around the whole League this time of the year because losing teams don’t want to mess with their lottery odds and winning teams don’t want to mess

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk about your 19-45 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about Kid Week, what we would do differently if we were Terminator Troy Weaver, and look around the league at matchups between tanking teams. The Pistons played their

A common occurrence during this season for the Detroit Pistons: The team brings in an unwanted or underused point guard, he excels, and when the team trades said excelling point guard, he regresses. Before the start of the season, the Pistons traded for Delon Wright, who couldn’t find much of a role with the Dallas

The Detroit Pistons could not overcome a poor first half and fell to the Charlotte Hornets 107-94. Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball and Malik Monk had not played in weeks after suffering injuries, but both made their return against Detroit and both had a positive impact. Detroit was without the services of Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee and

If you look at the standings, the result of today’s game should be easily to predict. One team has 11 fewer wins and is second from the bottom in the whole NBA, the other stands firmly in the playoffs picture. Yet the first team has showed multiple times that it is much better than its

The Detroit Pistons aren’t going anywhere this season, that we know. Lose, develop, and lose some more – that’s the motto for the final stretch of games. But there’s always something else to play for, and with this team, it might be some seasonal awards. It’s fair to wonder whether any member of this team

It was a “hold your breath” game for tank advocates, but the young Detroit Pistons made a bunch of predictable errors with the game on the line and a lineup full of youth, and the Dallas Mavericks took advantage for a 115-105 win. Dallas came to Little Caesars Arena in a classic late-season game where

It’s been a weird season for the Dallas Mavericks. They’ve battled injuries, inconsistency and outside criticism throughout the year, yet they currently sit in the sixth spot out west with a 34-27 record. They’ve shaken off their early struggles and appear determined to do everything they can to avoid playing in the dreaded play-in tournament.

The days of aging, mediocre athletes with average skills playing to a subpar record seems to be gone for the Detroit Pistons. This Pistons team is losing plenty, but using a roster full of young players who possess enough athleticism, skills and upside that they could reasonably develop into crucial contributors on a contending team.

A diamond in the rough comes in all shapes, sizes, and contract statuses. They can be young players from small schools who burst onto the scene out of nowhere. They can be veterans who finally find a situation where everything clicks. They can be a former high school or college star who needs a few

After last week’s mailbag episode, we took a left turn and chose to break down all aspects of the Detroit Pistons rebuild. We were without David this week, but Duncan Smith joined to provide his insight on the job Troy Weaver has done so far and what the team might look like in both the

The Grand Rapids Drive announced today they have entered into a new “hybrid” partnership with the Denver Nuggets beginning with the 2021-22 season. The Detroit Pistons announced in July they would purchase a G League team that would be located in downtown Detroit with games at Wayne State’s campus. The Grand Rapids-based owners of the

Detroit Pistons fans are in an all-too familiar place. Staring at a team with a long way to go who could potentially draft in the 7-9 range of the NBA Draft. It’s the spot Detroit has found itself in most frequently in the last lost decade. It seems like the should purchase a time share

It was hard to tell who was tanking. The Atlanta Hawks are one of the stories of the NBA as they battle the also-surprising New York Knicks for homecourt advantage in the Eastern Conference playoffs. Though they were without star guard Trae Young (ankle) against the Detroit Pistons, it’s a game you win when you’re

The best thing about the Detroit Pistons this season has by far been their rookie class. Troy Weaver put his stamp on things immediately upon taking over, slicing and dicing as he reshaped the roster to fit his vision. There’s an argument to be made that two of the Pistons rookies — Isaiah Stewart and

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk about your 18-43 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about how the Pistons can maximize Hamidou Diallo, analyze how many wins the Pistons should be able to get the rest of the season, and Jerami Grant’s comments

The Detroit Pistons lost to the undermanned Indiana Pacers, 115-109. Jerami Grant led the way for Detroit with 25 points, five rebounds, and four assists, and Mason Plumlee had 17 points and 21 rebounds.
