Well folks, that was…rough. The Cade Cunnigham-less Detroit Pistons entered the night looking to even the season series with their division rival Chicago Bulls. Despite jumping out to a quick 9-0 lead and a strong first quarter, the Pistons were hindered by poor decisions and horrific outside shooting. Once again, the young Pistons couldn’t buy
CHICAGO — After opening the season with a loss to the Chicago Bulls, the Detroit Pistons had an opportunity for redemption on Saturday facing the Bulls again at United Center. But after a solid opening quarter, the Pistons fell apart toward the end of the first half and couldn’t recover. The Bulls led by as many
Chicago — The countdown for Cade Cunningham’s debut has been paused since the news of his ankle injury early in training camp. Cunningham didn’t play in the season opener on Wednesday, and coach Dwane Casey revealed Friday that he will not play in any of the three games on the current trip in Chicago, Atlanta and
The Detroit Pistons play the Chicago Bulls for the second time in as many games tonight. Detroit is in the United Center looking to avenge its season-opening 94-88 loss. For the Bulls, this is already game No. 3, with the team beating the New Orleans Pelicans 128-112. The good news for the Pistons is that
LOS ANGELES — The Wings and Pistons aren’t close to contention. But then, you knew that. What you may not have known, at least until the last couple of weeks, is how much the city’s winter teams are beginning to embody Detroit. Yes, we’re not even a week into the NBA schedule and barely two weeks into the NHL’s — but the physicality and toughness
Detroit — It’s Take 2 against the Bulls. In a scheduling anomaly, the Pistons are opening the regular season with consecutive games against the same opponent. They took the Bulls down to the final minute in Wednesday’s opener at home, and they’ll try to turn things around in their first road game of the season.
Cade Cunningham hasn’t played a game yet for the Detroit Pistons, but he has the backing of NBA fans as the most likely to win Rookie of the Year, according to the latest SB Nation Reacts survey. Fans were asked to vote on major awards and which team will emerge from each conference in the
There is no shortage of players Detroit Pistons fans are emotionally, some would say spiritually, invested in. There is No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham, of course, who has yet to make his Pistons debut. There is the conundrum of Killian Hayes and his lack of offense. Heck, there is even a cult of personality
For the NBA’s 75th anniversary team, 75 players weren’t enough. The league needed 76 instead. The top 75 players in NBA history — and one more because of a tie in the voting — have been revealed, a group that has combined to win 158 NBA championships, earn 730 NBA All-Star selections and score more

As a rookie, Saddiq Bey delivered as expectedfor the Detroit Pistons. The No. 19 overall pick was regarded as one of the best shooters in the 2020 draft after knocking down 41.8% of his 3-point attempts at Villanova, including 45.1% as a sophomore. That was also his ticket to success last year, hitting 38% of
Detroit — In choosing a seat mate for a long flight, Pistons forward Saddiq Bey might not be very many people’s first pick. He’s naturally quiet. He chooses his words carefully and he probably would prefer reading a book than talking at length in a casual conversation. Bey is measured, seemingly not wanting to say
Deeee-troit Basketball is back!! No, it’s really back!! We are not talking about the pretend basketball you find in Summer League, training camp or even preseason. We are talking about the real, meaningful NBA basketball. Detroit Pistons basketball is back and after one game it looks like the Isaiah Stewart we all fell in love
Apple Podcasts | Spotify It’s a process, right? One we aren’t gonna see in full effect for at least another couple of weeks — until Cade Cunningham’s ankle heals and the No. 1 overall pick makes his debut and spaces the floor and knocks down 3’s and saves the Detroit Pistons franchise. Well, that’s a bit much. Maybe way too much. Mostly because
Although Detroit Pistons rookie Cade Cunningham is out with an ankle sprain, he’s teamed up again with the Just Egg brand for a new version of the plant-based Cade Stack breakfast sandwich. The sandwich launched Wednesday. It’s a new take on the original Cade Stack vegan sandwich that launched in August. Called the hearty hero, the
The Detroit Pistons opened their 2021-22 season with a game reminiscent of last season. They played energetic defense and exchanged blows with the Chicago Bulls, a team that’s well-positioned to make the playoffs in a tough Eastern Conference. Like last year, the Pistons were doomed by mistakes brought by youth, such as missed shots and
Detroit — They showed fight and energy and some old-school defense. Several times they brought the Little Caesars Arena crowd to its feet, on the verge of an outburst, and then they’d miss. The Pistons missed a chance in their opener Wednesday night, falling to the Bulls 94-88. They missed shots down the stretch, they
Detroit — The Pistons opened the season with a 94-88 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night, and even in a loss, there were some good takeaways from their performance. The crowds were back to full capacity at Little Caesars Arena and although the Pistons were without No. 1 pick Cade Cunningham, they had
On episode 57 of the Motor City Hoops podcast, I take my first crack at doing the podcast solo with no co-host and no guest. In this episode, I give my immediate reactions to the season-opening loss against the Bulls. I give my overall outlook on the game and a rundown of what we saw
Detroit — Even if the Pistons don’t end up being a playoff team this season, they look like they’ll be fun to watch, and play hard in most games. Against the Chicago Bulls — who, by most accounts, will be a tough playoff-level team — the Pistons made a statement and stayed close throughout the
