The NBA marquee night has arrived again, with TNT heading into week 2, and hopefully featuring 100% less bizarre pseudo-documentaries about Draymond Green punching a teammate. The Sixers and Lakers are once again in action, which is kind of a bummer based on their first respective games of the season. The Sixers will be facing

The night before the 2022 NBA draft, Troy Weaver received a call from Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores. He had some advice for his general manager. “(He) said, ‘Hey, I want you to be aggressive and go for it,’” Weaver said the night after the draft. “I didn’t know what the rest of the day
Detroit — If there’s anything to take away from the Pistons’ first game of the 2022-23 campaign, regardless of the score, it’s the team’s resilience. With 11.6 seconds left in the game, Cade Cunningham drove to the basket and dished to a wide open Isaiah Stewart, who calmly knocked down a corner 3-point shot he’d
Detroit – Buckle up, folks. If this was a prelude to the reload, it’s going to be boisterous and bumpy, and occasionally blurry. That one blur? That was rookie Jaden Ivey zipping to the basket, game on the line, clocking ticking down, dropping in a layup and drawing a foul to push the Pistons’ lead
Detroit — Tom Gores, owner of the Pistons and CEO of Platinum Equity, had a front row seat to his team’s first win of the 2022-23 season. Gores watched Jalen Duren rip down vicious dunks and he watched Jaden Ivey put his speed on full display, often finishing at the rim with finesse. Lastly, he
He worked on it all summer, the 3 from the corner, and when he got the ball with 11 seconds left and the Detroit Pistons up by a point, he settled his feet, bent his knees, rose and let it fly, just as he had thousands of times in the practice gym in Detroit, and
When the Detroit Pistons drafted Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren in last year’s lottery, it felt like while the Pistons might not be a good team, they were going to be the most fun team Motown’s had in a long while. They certainly lived up to that billing on opening night in Detroit’s 113-109 victory
Detroit — Jaden Ivey and Jalen Duren will have Pistons fans cheering for a long time. Detroit’s two lottery picks had electric performances in their NBA debuts.

Stewart drained the 3, his only make of the night, with 11 seconds left to extend the lead to four. Despite trailing by 15 midway through the first quarter, the Pistons defeated the Orlando Magic
Detroit — A little more than two seasons ago, Isaiah Stewart was in the same position that Jalen Duren is now. Stewart, the 6-foot-9 big man from Rochester, New York was a rookie trying to transition to a faster and more physical game. As he enters his third season, Stewart is embracing a leadership role
The buzz around the Detroit Pistons is building. The fan base is hyped, the Q rating is rising, and a franchise that has been mostly forgotten for more than a decade has been getting praise from national media for the franchise’s restoration. The Pistons might also be a worse team than they were a year
Subsequent to an offseason fueled by enticing roster changes, the Detroit Pistons enter the 2022-23 campaign with arguably the franchise’s most talented core in a decade. The man charged with spearheading the highly anticipated crusade is last year’s first overall draft selection Cade Cunningham. An offseason ankle sprain hindered the early portion of Cunningham’s rookie
Shortly after the NBA Draft, Jaden Ivey said something that excited me more than any of the highlight dunks or elite burst I saw on his college film at Purdue.
