    The Best Stretch of Basketball this Season I The Pindown

    The Best Stretch of Basketball this Season I The Pindown

    These past 4 games have unquestionably been the best stretch of basketball the Pistons have played this season. Cade is playing like “the man”, Fontecchio looks like a perfect addition and Monty Williams has even fixed the rotation! But this recent stretch isn’t without its warts. Blake and Wes break it all down, discussing Cade’s incredible play, the possession-to-possession rollercoaster that is Jalen Duren and Jaden Ivey’s shooting slump. They also break down the recent strong play from James Wiseman and list out some players who would be ideal fits with the Pistons in the upcoming draft.

    We’ve got you covered for all this and more in this week’s episode!

    Ausar Thompson is on the Rise I The Pindown

    Ausar Thompson is on the Rise I The Pindown

    The Pistons just beat the Nets 118 - 112 and Wes and Blake break it all down in this episode. Ausar Thompson has surged as of late, improving his three point percentage and acting more decisively on offense, the guys discuss what that means for his standing in the rookie power rankings. Blake and Wes also break down the salary cap and how it will impact Simone Fontecchio’s next contract, whether James Wiseman could be resigned, and what starting lineup statistics say should lead to the most wins over the final stretch of the season.

    Bad Calls Can't Stop Cade I The Pindown

    Bad Calls Can't Stop Cade I The Pindown

    The refs may have cost the Pistons a game, Mike Muscala hit the free agent market, but Cade just keeps ballin’. This week, Wes and Blake discuss why you maybe shouldn’t be so upset at the refs for that Knicks loss, what the Muscala buyout means for James Wiseman, and the starting five that Monty Williams reportedly committed to. They also compare Jalen Duren to Andre Drummond in his year 2, breaking down who may be a better fit next to Cade Cunningham.

    What's Up with the Rotations I The Pindown

    What's Up with the Rotations I The Pindown

    Monty Williams loves his 11 and 12 man rotations, the guys are wondering why. This week, Wes and Blake wonder what is going on with the rotations and why Ausar Thompson tends to play with other non-shooters. They also discuss which potential top 5 draft picks could start next season, Stanley Umude’s NBA contract, and just how good this core four can become in the future.

    Oh, Where Did Our Love Go? I The Pindown

    Oh, Where Did Our Love Go? I The Pindown

    The Pistons generated some real buzz after the trade deadline by beginning their west coast swing 2-1, then the sky came crashing down. This week, Wes and Blake discuss what happened in those games, how Ausar Thompson’s great play came at the expense of the other starters, and what Monty Williams should do about it.

    The Pistons were the most active team at the NBA trade deadline this year. Bringing in all of Simone Fontecchio, Quentin Grimes, Troy Brown Jr., Shake Milton, and Malachi Flynn. Wes and Blake break down the types of players the Pistons added, what their roles may be, and what this means for the team moving forward.

Great pod!

5 stars, only critique is Ben either needs to speak up or need to turn his mic level up.

Go-to Pistons’ podcast

As a lifelong Detroit Piston’ fan/sicko, I have been looking for a Pistons’ podcast that really suits me for awhile now. This is the one! Interesting content, great guests, and thorough breakdowns elevate Motor City Hoops to easily the best podcast that I have heard covering my favorite team. Continue the great work, Bryce, and thank you!
