Pistons Trio Thrives, upsets red-hot Celtics
The Boston Celtics came into this game fresh off a 9 game win streak. In addition, they were fresh off a 48 point win in Philadelphia. However, Jerami Grant, Saddiq Bey, and Cade Cunningham had the best game as a trio. And the Detroit Pistons beat the Celtics 112-111. It was the run of Jerami Grant that brought Detroit back in the fourth quarter and ultimately the
Foster on Tom Izzo: From ‘Tom Fizzo’ to ‘Tom Terrific’
Let’s travel back in time before the turn of the century. Despondent Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo needed a breath of fresh air, so he left his basketball office at Breslin Center in 1997 for a stroll across campus. Izzo wanted to stay one step ahead of the wolves who were after his job. Not everyone thought he should be the man to replace Jud Heathcote.
Pistons stumble versus Wizards, lose eighth straight
The Detroit Pistons cannot get to the all star break fast enough. Despite the debut of Marvin Bagley III, Detroit fell short to the Washington Wizards, losing 94-103. Outside of Saddiq Bey and Marvin Bagley, the Pistons were not able to generate consistent offense. Bey finished with 24 points shooting 7-17 from the field, and was on a mission to attack the rim all night. Bey even
Matthew Stafford ethers all criticism in his first year away from the Detroit Lions
When Matthew Stafford played his final game with the Detroit Lions, I was there. It was during my first year with Woodward Sports. With the COVID-19 restrictions in place, I was unsure the Lions would let me in a game that season. Fast forward to the next season and there was another first. I was at SoFi Stadium when Stafford played his first game against the Lions
Op-Ed: ‘Detroit Rams’ shirt makes Lions fan base look like a joke
"Take that monkey sh*t off, you embarrassing us," were the words of late-hip-hop artist, Pimp C. That was my first thought several days ago. It's when I witnessed a monstrosity floating around social media. I saw a "Detroit Rams" mock-up shirt. And, of course, some Detroit Lions fans, who still love Matthew Stafford, were sharing it. At first, it was funny to me. It's no secret that
Chuck Daly: A top all-time NBA coach and Prince of Pessimism
A few weeks after the biggest trade in Detroit Pistons history, Coach Chuck Daly gathered his team for a brief meeting. Mark Aguirre was in and Adrian Dantley out in this 1989 blockbuster. Daly did not like the way his team was playing. The Pistons needed to be better on defense. The offense had slipped and Daly worried that the Pistons would not win its first NBA
Spartans Bounce Back, Pick Up ‘Gritty’ Win Over Indiana
There were two interesting developments that happened before the Spartans 76-61 win against Indiana on Saturday. The first being AJ Hoggard getting his first start of the season in place of Tyson Walker. Walker had been Michigan State's starting point guard for all 23 games this season, but the demotion did not seem to phase him. He may have turned the ball over twice, but the transfer
Hutchinson versus Thibodeaux
The Detroit Lions hold the second overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. While we are a long way off from the draft, it certainly appears that a pass rusher will be the likeliest choice come draft night. There are two pass rushers in the mix; Michigan's Aidan Hutchinson and Oregon's Kayvon Thibodeaux. Many things are left to unfold before we cement things, so this is a
Pistons get Marvin Bagley, keep Jerami Grant
On a trade deadline that can only be described as league altering, one of the dominos people were looking at was the Detroit Pistons. However, Troy Weaver did not trade Jerami Grant as many have speculated. Instead, Detroit acquired the kings big man Marvin Bagley. Bagley was traded to the Motor City for Josh Jackson, Trey Lyles, and two second round picks. Those second round picks will
Pistons pummeled by Luka Doncic and Mavericks
The Detroit Pistons came into this game 1-11 when Cade Cunningham is out of the lineup. And it didn't take long for that record to become 1-12. The Pistons fell to the Dallas Mavericks Tuesday night 116-86. After a competitive first half that felt like the Pistons were still in it, Dallas began to pull away in the third. Detroit went over 6 minutes in the third
Should the Pistons trade for Mitchell Robinson?
With the NBA trade deadline looming this week, trade season is officially under way. And if rumors are to be believed, the Pistons reportedly have interest in Mitchell Robinson. The big man on the Knicks has garnered a lot of attention throughout the league. And it's easy to see why. Robinson is a 7 foot big man from Western Kentucky that has had a really productive NBA
Detroit should prepare for another ‘not so Pleasant’ breakup
The Detroit Lions fanbase has suffered its fair share of "breakups" with great players over the years. The most recent one was with Matthew Stafford, who has now led the LA Rams to the Super Bowl in a little over a year since the split. Now Lions fans have to brace for impact. Because another one is coming. This time, it's with a promising coach. Get ready,
