Welcome to Bluesky, everyone
I was a guest on Pod of Fame recently, and Jim and I discussed whether or not Rip Hamilton belongs in the Naismith Hall of Fame. I made the best case I could: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Before there was the constantly changing hair, and before there was the Demolition Man hair, there was the 2x DPOY Dennis Rodman. My ode to The Walkoff, which I viewed through new eyes.

The Walkoff: a love story.
The broadcast doesn’t show when the planning started but it was brewing throughout the fourth quarter in the form of Bill Laimbeer, the baddest of the Bad Boys.

Heartbroken over last night. Not because I expected them to move on, but this group gave everything they had and I hate that their season ended the way it did.

Moving on, it's going to be a long offseason and I expect Trajan Langdon to be very buy. This is where he earns his paycheck.

What an amazing win.

For the first time since 2008, the Pistons will be playing basketball in May.

Let’s see if they can force a game 7.

What an incredible display of toughness from one of the youngest teams on the playoffs.

The longest playoff losing streak is over. The Cade Cunningham era has begun.

Detroit should be an incredible atmosphere for game 3 on Thursday.

Just a gut wrenching game 1 collapse.

That was hard to watch.

This is a young team that may not be ready for this stage. We’ll find out in game 2.

Detroit Basketball is back in the playoffs.

The Pistons clinch a playoff spot in a win over the Toronto Raptors.

Wrote about how tonight's win over the Raptors exhibits all the reasons for Detroit's turnaround this season and return to the playoffs.

The Pistons are back

It’s playoff time
April 5, 2025 at 2:11 AM
The Pistons without 3 starters with maybe their most impressive win of the season tonight over the Cavs

Their magic number to clinch a playoff spot is down to 2

They officially become the first team in NBA history to triple their win total over two 82 game seasons

The magic number for the Pistons to clinch a playoff spot is now 4, with 9 games remaining
March 26, 2025 at 2:35 AM
Pistons found their mojo tonight.

First season sweep of the Spurs since 2008

All 5 starters recorded at least 3 assists

Defense finally found some traction after a rough couple of weeks

Now begins a tough stretch before the postseason. Hopefully Cade returns after a full week off.

30 years ago, today: Grant Hill and Allan Houston gave the fans an unexpected show at the end of a lost season, combining for 62 points in a come from behind thriller over the Celtics at the Palace:

Very important win today, but very concerned about the defensive falloff from this team over the past week. That needs to get fixed. Ron Holland bailed them out today.

Magic number for the Pistons to clinch a playoff spot is down to 6.

Would like to thank the Pistons for making my food poisoning episode about 5% better.

Their magic number to clinch the playoffs is down to 7, and they will finish the season with a winning road record for the first time since 2008.
March 20, 2025 at 2:18 AM
Obviously a major get right game tonight against a comatose Pelicans team, but I think going back on the road focuses them better as well.

Magic number for the Pistons to clinch a playoff spot is down to 8.
