Any thoughts on the Pistons tanking this season for a better chance at the #1 overall pick in the upcoming draft were squashed last night as the Pistons turned back the clock a bit, and beat the Lakers 88-85 in overtime at The Palace. Games like this are the reason why I believe Lawrence Frank [...]

Rising Star Greg Monroe was the only player that remained sharp after the All Star break for the Pistons, as the visiting Sixers had their way with the sluggish Pistons on their way to an easy 97-68 win. Monroe was tied for a game high 20 points with the Sixers Thaddeus Young, while the Sixers [...]
The Pistons’ young guns showed off a bit of what Pistons fans should expect in the coming years tonight, as Jonas Jerebko, Greg Monroe, and Brandon Knight lead the Pistons to their first win in 5 games. While Charlotte isn’t exactly a great team, they are a scrappy young team that can put it together [...]
There were countless things that didn’t happen tonight, that lead to the Pistons getting the beatdown tonight from the Cavaliers. Poor rotation on defense, guys out of position, offensive sets that were out of sorts, guards firing bullet passes to big men not ready for them, etc. Tonight’s game was flat out hard to watch. [...]
In podcasts, Natalie and I (and Dave) do shtick for an hour about how bad the Pistons are gonna be. We joke about CV’s lack of hair, Ben Gordon’s lack of skills, and Rodney Stuckey’s ego among other things. Deep down, we want the team to do well and it bothers us when they don’t. [...]
A lot of moves have happened recently in the NBA, so let’s catch up on where our favorite former Pistons have landed: Chauncey Billups was waived via the amnesty clause from the New York Knicks, and was claimed by the LA Clippers Chris Wilcox signed a contract with the Boston Celtics Richard Hamilton was waived [...]
Earlier today, Rodney Stuckey and the Detroit Pistons agreed to a 3 year, 25 million dollar deal to bring the 4 year guard back to Detroit. The roster is now coming back together, and showing some semblance of a legitimate NBA roster (by legitimate I mean that all of the positions and appropriate depth are [...]
Today was the first day that players could officially re-sign with their teams after ratifying the latest Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) agreed to a little over a week ago to end the NBA Lockout. Today was also really the first day that new Pistons owner Tom Gores’ staff could get to work evaluating the talent [...]
After another marathon negotiating session between the owners and players, both sides failed to leave with an agreement and apparently there is an even larger split than we all feared. Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski was tweeting some quotes from Commissioner David Stern as soon as the negotiating session broke, and here you go: “We tried [...]
Let me dust off the cobwebs… Sorry you guys, Natalie and I have been busy doing life related things, and have not had a chance to update the site as frequently as we would like in the last few weeks. We both know that while there is not a lot of positive things going on, [...]
According to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, Lawrence Frank will receive a formal offer to become the Detroit Pistons next Head Coach within the next 24-36 hours. Go look at the tweet here Better yet, just stay here and do reading at the tweet: No Laimbeer, No 2004 LB connection in Mike Woodson, No 1st year [...]
Vernon Macklin – Power Forward/Center from the University of Florida Gators. Going with the same theme of the Singler post – my 2 word descriptor for Macklin is “hard worker”. If I had to describe his style of play I’d say he’s a “bigger Jason Maxiell, without the shot blocking”. His body reminds me of [...]
Kyle Singler, forward from the Duke Blue Devils. If I had to pick a word to describe Singler, it’d be “winner”. If I could go a step further to describe Singler’s playing style, I’d say he plays like a “Coach’s son”. Singler tries to do all of the things that you want your superstar player [...]
Brandon Knight, point guard from the University of Kentucky Wildcats. With Bismack Biyombo, Jonas Valanciunas and Tristan Thompson off the board (only Biyombo and Thompson were slated to go to #8), Detroit was left with making a stunningly obvious pick of Brandon Knight, the talented first year point guard from the University of Kentucky. Here [...]
John Kuester is officially out as Head Coach of the Detroit Pistons. Kuester’s final record totals as Coach of the Pistons is 57 wins to go with 107 losses. I’ve already said a lot about the man in this post right here, so go and do reading at that after reading this. So let the [...]
As reported on ESPN earlier, and also here by the dreamy Justin Rogers of MLive, the Pistons and Head Coach John Kuester will be going their separate ways after 2 long seasons with Kuester at the helm. Kuester was 55 – 107 57 – 107 as coach of the Detroit Pistons. This was the first [...]
