Detroit Tigers aren't crushed by a series loss to Texas. And you shouldn't be either

3 days ago | freep.com | Shawn Windsor

The Detroit Tigers lost to the Texas Rangers 6-1 on May 11, marking their first home series loss of the season. Despite the loss, Tigers manager A.J. Hinch emphasized the team's ability to bounce back and focus on the next game. The Tigers have a strong record so far this season, having won nine series and lost only four. For a moment, it looked like the Detroit Tigers had escaped. Second inning. Bases loaded. Down 2-0 against one of the best pitchers in the American League.

Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon is prioritizing patience and internal development this offseason. Langdon is open to trades but is focused on building sustainable success through the development of young players like Ausar Thompson, Jalen Duren, and Jaden Ivey. Langdon is observing league trends, such as the increasing physicality of playoff games, to inform future decisions. They don’t know what they have. Not yet. Not fully.

Pistons playoff run proves LCA is new Palace of Auburn Hills, but reflects region better

1 week ago | freep.com | Shawn Windsor

When the Detroit Pistons made their fourth-quarter run and seized the lead in Game 6 vs Knicks, Little Caesars Arena began to shudder, reminiscent of the Palace that housed franchise's last great era. The end of a playoff run is sudden and quiet, save for the one team standing in the end. It’s not the quiet that startles, though. It’s the noise, and the unbridled — even unfiltered — emotion that creates it.
Pistons will regret Game 6 collapse vs Knicks all summer long

This one will sting. More than that, it will linger. It should. All summer long. The New York Knicks may have a bit more talent in this first round NBA playoff series, but the Detroit Pistons had the lead, by seven, with 2:35 left in game Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena. And then? A missed alley-oop. A missed free throw. A missed layup. Another missed layup. A missed pass that slipped through the hands of Malik Beasley and tumbled out of bounds with 0.4 seconds left.

The Detroit Pistons are learning to manage the pressure of playing at home in the playoffs. The team's strong bond and focus on playing for each other has been key to their success, especially in road games. NEW YORK – The last time the Detroit Pistons left New York to come home they talked about getting a win for the city. Your city. Their city. The city. In a vacuum, this made sense: What team doesn’t want to win in front of its fans? The problem was these young Pistons wanted it too much.

Cade Cunningham missed a crucial shot at the end of Game 4 against the Knicks, but his coach and he remain confident in his ability to take that shot. Cunningham's turnovers and decision-making late in the game are likely to bother him more than the missed shot. Cunningham has established himself as the leader of the Pistons franchise and the reason for their competitiveness in the series. One day, Cade Cunningham will make the shot he missed at the end of Game 4 against the New York Knicks.
