Gonna start posting some of my favorite Q/A’s from this season here on Bluesky.
Asked JB Bickerstaff after their preseason game against Phoenix about Ron Holland. He was really high on his upside and how he approaches the game. Seems to be heading fruit thus far for the Pistons.

The Pistons just played a phenomenal quarter. The type of quarter that got them to the playoffs in the first place. They lead by seven going into the fourth quarter. They are 12 minutes away from breaking their 6172 day playoff win drought.

The Pacers would clinch their playoff spot if the Hawks were to lose, whereas Atlanta would clinch their playin spot with a win.
One has to think the Pistons have a real chance to clinch their playoff spot this week as well.

I asked Pistons head coach JB Bickerstaff about the importance of executing in the fast break. He said it’s crucial that Detroit continues to play to its strengths.

Not going to win many games when your opponent is shooting 70 percent from three in a single half.

Tonight’s starting lineups for Pistons versus Bucks.
Cade Cunningham, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Taurean Prince are all available.
The last time the Pistons played a game with this level of stakes? 2019 against….who else but the Bucks?

I can’t get over the “don’t be disrespectful” comments towards Michigan from Ohio State.
You’re the school that went for two because “we can’t go for three”. You’re the school that said “we hope there’s a mercy because we’re hanging 100”. You’re the state that crosses M’s out of words.

Happy thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates.
Thankful to everyone who follows along and supports my coverage, whether it’s here on X/Bluesky, or over on YouTube.
Thankful for the amount of progress I’ve made up to this point. And even more thankful this is only the start.

The Pistons were about to play their fourth overtime game in 14 days. Jaden Ivey had other ideas.

A huge step for J.I.’ – and an equally big win for the Pistons
Jaden Ivey had kind of quietly played a tremendous game to that point, but it was about to get very noisy for him.

Pistons look like they are desperately missing the offense of Cade Cunningham. His shot making, AND his playmaking are both the keys to Detroit’s offense functioning.

Pistons had a shot to force double OT. Ref’s miss a pretty obvious foul on Tobias, game over.
Too many self inflicted wounds, but even then, bad no call.

Something about when Detroit goes to Charlotte….
Looks like this is setting up to be another painful loss for the Pistons.
Only four players for Detroit scored in double figures. As a team, they’ve had 19 turnovers.
Execution, execution, execution.

This Pistons bench unit is absolutely bringing it.
Wendell Moore is going to make it awful hard to take him out of the rotation.

Whenever the Pistons need energy, Ron Holland and Isaiah Stewart have been their spark plugs.
Both are pests on the defensive end, and Ron has made some big offensive plays as well.

Really rough start for the Pistons thus far. Nothing but mental lapses and not bringing the pressure on defense.

Pistons have an opportunity to both bounce back and redeem themselves against Charlotte tonight.
They will need Jalen Duren’s rebounding, and better overall team defense. Lamelo Ball is also having an all star caliber season, but if you limit the damage from his supporting cast, they can be beat.

Creating a baseline of competency for a young, re-building team is difficult.
But JB Bickerstaff has done that by establishing a defensive identity for the Detroit Pistons.
They’re 10th-best for the first time in 4 seasons.

The Detroit Pistons Have Found Competence With Their Defense
Recently, the Detroit Pistons have been a terrible defensive team. They're a top-10 defense this season. What's changed?

Jared McCain and Tyrese Maxey have to be the only silver linings the 76ers have.
