Isiah Thomas, the former NBA and Indiana University star point guard, recently was a guest on The Pivot Podcast and spoke about a number of basketball greats, including Bobby Knight and Larry Bird. Thomas, who played two seasons for Knight at IU, told a number of stories for over an hour, including one about a
Detroit — It’s the midway point of the Pistons’ season and while the team appears destined for another lottery pick, Pistons coach Dwane Casey and the rest of the coaching staff just want to see some consistency before next week’s trip to Paris. The short-term doesn’t look too good. Their best scorer, Bojan Bogdanovic, is
Bojan Bogdanovic remains one of the most-named players in the lead-up to the NBA Trade Deadline. The Detroit Pistons forward is cost-controlled for a few seasons on a team-friendly deal, one of the league’s best 3-point shooters, and also acquitting himself nicely as a high-usage scorer on an anemic offensive team. It’s no surprise when

The Detroit Pistons will play the Philadelphia 76ers for the second half of a ‘home and home’ series. Detroit will need to put forth a season-best effort if they are to challenge the hometown 76ers tonight. After barely registering a punch in Sunday’s 123-111 loss to Philly, the short-handed Pistons will be without their leading
Detroit — As soon as Hamidou Diallo enters the game for the Pistons, it’s almost like a seismic shift occurs. The energy Diallo plays with becomes contagious and it carries over to his teammates, no matter who is on the floor at that time. Diallo totaled 12 points, seven rebounds, two assists and two steals
With a shade under five minutes to play in the first quarter of the recent clash with the Golden State Warriors, Jalen Duren, the Detroit Pistons big man, made a beeline towards the basket whilst tracking a Killian Hayes jumper. The restricted area was already occupied by a pair of Warriors bigs with one goal
Hey everyone! This is Laz Jackson of Detroit Bad Boys, and on this week’s podcast, Jack Kelly, Ben Gulker, and I talk about your 11-31 Detroit Pistons. Jack catches Ben and I up on what we missed during the holiday season, we have a great discussion about the Isaiah Stewart – Jalen Duren pairing and
The Detroit Pistons have seesawed in their consistency over the past two weeks. They picked up wins over the Orlando Magic, Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors, but suffered double-digit losses to the Portland Trail Blazers, San Antonio Spurs and Philadelphia 76ers. Sunday’s 123-111 home loss to the Sixers, who were without Joel Embiid, was
Detroit — The Pistons wanted to take advantage of a Philadelphia 76ers team without superstar center Joel Embiid, but there was another All-Star looming in the lineup. Former NBA MVP James Harden was the engine that made the Sixers go in Sunday’s matinee against the Pistons. He nailed stepback 3-pointers. He threw alley-oops to his
We hear from coach Dwane Casey after his Pistons lose a matinee at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday, 123-111 to the 76ers. #DetroitBasketball
The Detroit Pistons played a deadly combination of sloppy, disinterested and lifeless basketball in a 123-111 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in front of a mostly silent home crowd at Little Caesars Arena. The game was not even as close as the final score makes it seems. James Harden had a triple-double within the opening
Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid missed Sunday’s game with left foot soreness. Unfortunately for the Detroit Pistons, the rest of the Sixers’ roster picked up the slack. A triple-double from James Harden and strong outings from Tyrese Maxey (23 points) and Montrezl Harrell (20 points) were enough to dispose of the Pistons at Little Caesars
The Detroit Pistons return home from a five-game road trip to play the Philadelphia 76ers for the second time this season. In their initial meeting on Dec. 21, Joel Embiid lead his 76ers to a dominant 113-93 victory over the young Pistons. Luckily for Detroit, Embiid has been listed out for this afternoon’s clash with
As of Friday, the Detroit Pistons are officially in the second half of the season. Their 121-109 loss to the Spurs in San Antonio was their 42nd game, and the game itself was a showcase of two of the NBA’s worst teams. Both are firmly in the middle of rebuilds, so the sloppy nature of
Neither the Detroit Pistons nor the San Antonio Spurs bathed themselves in basketball competence, but in the end it was San Antonio that was able to capitalize on more of its opponent’s mistakes and come away with a 121-109 victory. Both teams managed to play down to their competition, and in practice that meant two
The Detroit Pistons appeared to have some momentum on the road after Saddiq Bey’s last-second 3-pointer against the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday. Instead, they closed out their five-game trip on a disappointing note. A poor third quarter was costly for the Pistons en route to Friday’s 121-109 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Detroit
The Pistons ended their second-longest road trip of the year on a losing note with a 121-109 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night. The Pistons entered the fourth quarter trailing by 10 after a third quarter full of turnovers and inefficient shooting inside the paint. However, Detroit began the final quarter on
The Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs are teams on a similar trajectory for this season, which is the bottom of the standings and the best shot at Victor Wembanyama. However, how they have gotten there is completely different. The Spurs started out the season 6-6, and have tanked hard over the last couple months.
