Pistons vs Bucks preview: 5th seed in the Playoffs up for grabs

1 week ago | detroitbadboys.com | Justin Lambregtse

Lon Horwedel-Imagn Images It is time to play for all the marbles as we close out the 2024-2025 regular season with two games against the Milwaukee Bucks. I am not sure how much being the 5th seed matters to either of these teams, but both teams are expected to have pretty much their full rotation available, so I guess that tells you this at least matters a little bit to both of these teams.
Pistons vs. Thunder preview: Very short-handed Pistons take on the best team in the league

3 weeks ago | detroitbadboys.com | Justin Lambregtse

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Pistons magic number for clinching a spot in the Playoffs and avoiding the Play-In is now down to 1. That is the good news. The bad news is that they face the Oklahoma City Thunder on the road on National TV and they will be without 3 players for sure due to suspensions from Sunday’s brawl against the Timberwolves. Those three players are Isaiah Stewart, Marcus Sasser, and Ron Holland. They are also likely without Cade Cunnningham, who is listed as doubtful.
Pistons vs. Spurs preview: Another game against a short-handed team

Scott Wachter-Imagn Images Many teams in the NBA are “banged up” at this time of the year. Some teams have legit injuries while others have “injuries” to allow them rest days for players as we close out the season. In the case of the San Antonio Spurs, it is the former as they are without Victor Wembanyama for the remainder of the season along with De’Aaron Fox.
Pistons vs. Mavs preview: Chance for road trip sweep against severely short-handed Mavericks

1 month ago | detroitbadboys.com | Justin Lambregtse

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Pistons entered this road trip with losses to the Washington Wizards and Oklahoma City Thunder. They needed to re-engage and string together some wins against inferior opponents before a very tough April schedule. So far, the Pistons have done that and now have a chance to go for the road trip sweep against the likely-cursed, Dallas Mavericks.
Pistons vs Pelicans preview: Must-win game on the road

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images A couple weeks ago, things were fun, the Pistons were winning pretty much every night, and in the midst of all of that they built a pretty sizable lead over the 7th and 8th seeds to keep them away from the Play-In Tournament. As the winning continued, it looked like they might even have a shot at the 4th seed and homecourt advantage in the playoffs.
Pistons vs. Wizards preview: Another home game against lowly Wizards

David Reginek-Imagn Images We have reached the point of the season where the previous versions of the Pistons would be resting players with “injuries” to try to improve their standing in the lottery. Now, every game matters as the Pistons try to catch the Pacers and/or Bucks for the 4th or 5th seed in the East. What a difference a year makes.
Pistons vs. Spurs preview: Post-All Star break starts on the road in San Antonio

2 months ago | detroitbadboys.com | Justin Lambregtse

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The Pistons last played a game on February 12, a win over the Chicago Bulls, they have now had to wait nine days to play again. The only hope is that the positive momentum the Pistons carried into the All Star break didn’t go away from going so long without playing. The teams the Pistons faced heading into the All Star Break were not very good, had at least a 20 point lead at some point during the game for every game except the Bulls on Wednesday.
Pistons vs. Bulls preview: First game of back-to-back against the Bulls

2 months ago | detroitbadboys.com | Justin Lambregtse

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The NBA has some weird scheduling quirks, and one of the weirdest is back-to-back games against the same team. It doesn’t always happen, but every team seems to have at least one of these a season. I am sure it has to do with reducing travel during a long season by knocking out a couple of road games, but in most cases these is a home game and then a road game against the same team.
Pistons vs Sixers preview: First and only ESPN game against healthy Sixers

2 months ago | detroitbadboys.com | Justin Lambregtse

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images After a trade deadline in which the Detroit Pistons added a much-needed secondary ball handler in Dennis Schroder, they now get to play their first and only ESPN game of the season (unless they get more added).
Pistons vs Mavs preview: Trying to get back on track against short-handed Mavs

2 months ago | detroitbadboys.com | Justin Lambregtse

Chris Jones-Imagn Images The Pistons are back home after a road-trip that started off great with wins over the Rockets and Hawks only to end with losses to the Magic, Cavaliers, and Pacers. The loss to the Magic was a close game, but it was at a time the Magic were struggling, while the Cavs and Pacers losses were poor efforts from start to finish.
