Who will be this game’s Edmond Sumner? Remember him? He’s the guy for the Pacers who made all five of his attempts in the fourth quarter including three 3-points on his way to 18 points and an L for the Detroit Pistons. Due to injuries, Sumner is playing a lot more, and he’s probably excited

It’s hard to make sense of the Indiana Pacers this season. They’ll win 7 of 10 and then go on a four-game losing skid. Their last three losses — Clippers, Jazz, Hawks. Last three wins — Thunder, Rockets, Grizzlies. Seems like they are a good bad team or a mediocre team that can’t do much

Turns out, no matter how hard you try, you can’t lose them all. Are the Detroit Pistons trying to do that? No, not at all. They do appear to have a plan of attack down the stretch as they try to balance developing a solid core of young players while trying to put themselves in

Well, that was a Detroit Pistons basketball game, wasn’t it? It wasn’t one of those fun, “wow, the kids look great,” kind of games. It wasn’t one of those, “wow, the veterans are gonna win another game for no reason,” either. No, it was the worst of both worlds. Jerami Grant, Mason Plumlee and Cory

While the playoffs were never even a figment in the imagination of Detroit Pistons fans this season, the

In what will undoubtedly be a far cry from the matchups we saw 16 years ago, the Detroit Pistons visit the San Antonio Spurs in a game that means very different things to each team. Detroit has no real motivation to win games the rest of the year while San Antonio seeks to hold onto

Lazarus Jackson (@lazchance) goes solo to talk about Killian Hayes’ improvement since his return, Isaiah Stewart’s lack of limitations, and some NBA Draft talk. That led to some unstructured rambling about: Damian Lillard shooting with his abs Kai Jones dunking everything in sight Laz’s Perfect Pistons Team; Killian Hayes, Evan Mobley, and three Saddiq Beys

The Detroit Pistons shot the ball well in Dallas but fell 127-117 as they couldn’t overcome Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson’s first-half onslaught. Detroit shot just over 50% overall and 40% from 3-point territory for the game, but their defense could not slow the Mavericks. Detroit’s offense was clicking on all cylinders with a 36-point

Every game makes me more and more impressed with what Isaiah Stewart is doing on the court. He’s rebounding better, maintaining some excellent efficiency as a big man who takes advantage of second-chance opportunities and easy looks, and he’s showing increasingly solid footwork and range on his jump shot. I’m not sure what he can

In a piece on ESPN+, NBA and prospect evaluators Kevin Pelton and Mike Schmitz each compiled a list of top-10 rookies based on future potential, and wouldn’t you know it, Detroit Pistons rookies Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart both made the cut. For the 16th and 19th picks, respectively, that is good. Very good. Pelton,

Isaiah Stewart and the Detroit Pistons are embracing the Beef Stew monkier, and what better way to show that than making some beef stew in the kitchen with America’s Test Kitchen. This is a bit of my world’s colliding as I love and cover rookie Isaiah Stewart and have watched America’s Test Kitchen regularly like

The last time the Detroit Pistons faced the Dallas Mavericks is so instructive of an awful past, that maybe it brings clarity into how much better the present is and how bright the future could be. The last time the Pistons faced the Mavericks was for a “home” game in Mexico City, Mexico, with 20,000-plus

Your questions, our answers – it’s mailbag time, babaaayyyy! In this week’s episode of Inside The Cylinder, Matt and I answer some of the most existential questions regarding the Detroit Pistons. Well, maybe not that heavy, but thanks to a few members of Pistons Twitter, we were able to address some of your inquiries regarding

Well, the Detroit Pistons beat the Cleveland Cavaliers. If you’re mad, just get it out of your system now. I feel you. I get it. But, I don’t know, it’s hard to be mad at a game like this. Sure, you could have drawn up the ending a little better — maybe the Pistons young

Ahh, a game only a mother could love. Jerami Grant and Mason Plumlee (among others) are out for the Pistons. So it’s another night of Deeeetroit Basketball courtesy of the 23 and younger set. It should be a good matchup for rookie Killian Hayes who hopefully gets to see some solid minutes against Darius Garland.

Hey everyone. This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s episode we talk about your 17-40 Detroit Pistons. Ben Gulker and I talk about Isaiah Stewart deserving a spot on the All-Rookie team, TANKWATCH, and our conflicting emotions on that Killian Hayes shot against the Clippers. Why we’re talking about “Rest”

The baby Detroit Pistons will once again see the floor tonight as seven players have already been ruled out against the also bad Cleveland Cavaliers. Call it finding times for the young guys or call it blatant tanking. Whatever it is, it’s probably going to be some ugly basketball tonight. The saving grace for the

The Detroit Pistons played on the second night of a back-to-back in a matchup of two bottom dwellers in the standings. It turns out, even with many players well-rested they were no match for the Wizards, falling 100-121. Taking into account where the franchise is at the moment in its rebuild, losing isn’t the problem.
