New plan for the Pistons: give Luke “The Nard” Kennard all the shots he wants until the end of the season. He needs to be given a fair chance here. There’s a lot of players whose true value only becomes apparent when they start chucking the air out of the ball during the meaningless games…

Reggie Jackson 24 Points Full Highlights (3/23/2019)
Reggie Jackson subbed into this game with four and a half minutes left in the fourth quarter, with the Pistons up by 6. He promptly bricked a shot, the Pistons only made one bucket the rest of the game, and they lost by 5. Jackson is unfairly made the scapegoat for many of Detroit’s woes…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 23 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/21/2019)
Since adding Wayne “Beef W” Ellington, the Pistons are 12-5. Their recent push to cement themselves in the playoff picture shouldn’t be attributed solely to the efforts of the man they call Waynemaker, but it actually should because Ellington’s spicy shooting of screens allows Blake Griffin to operate in pretty much exactly the way he…
Read MoreWayne Ellington 25 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (3/18/2019)
How often do you think Wayne Ellington, Luke Kennard, and Langston Galloway have all-out fistfights (with punching and everything) in the Pistons locker room? All of them are shooting specialists who are vying for minutes at the shooting guard position, and none of them has done much to elevate himself above his competition in terms…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 23 Points Full Highlights (3/15/2019)
Langston Galloway recently had twelve straight three-point makes. He was one short of tying the record which was coheld by Terry Mills and Brent Price (who are totally not the guys you would expect to hold a record this prestigious). If he just hit his next three-point attempt after that, he could co-cohold the record…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 21 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (3/9/2019)
Langston Galloway, after this 6-for-6 performance from deep, over a span of three games has now hit 12 consecutive threes without a miss. That may not sound like a whole heck of a lot, but let me tell you: it is. The Pistons commentators were quick to tell us that that falls one short of…
Read MoreReggie Jackson 21 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2019)
The Pistons have been feeling good lately. Winning games, playing well, smiles abound in the locker room. I don’t see why they’re so happy about being a low-seed playoff team so they can get swept again, but I guess that’s what they were going for coming into the season, and now they’re achieving it. All…
Read MoreIsh Smith 19 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
I was on the fence about doing this video, and it’s a good thing I got off on the right side of the fence, because this is a surprisingly sick highlights package. Why didn’t Pistons fans tell me that Ish Smith had such an exciting performance? He was igniting the crowd (and the Timberwolves) every…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 21 Points Full Highlights (3/6/2019)
Luke “The ‘Nard” Kennard is getting unshackled right as the Pistons are putting together a large winning streak. I don’t want to attribute the Pistons’ recent success entirely to The ‘Nard, since there’s a few other things currently going right for the Pistons that most certainly won’t going right for them earlier in the season:…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 19 Points Full Highlights (3/3/2019)
Luke Kennard’s getting confident with this three-point stroke, to the point where he’s willing to do stepbacks to get himself open for the shots he wants. Maybe I just have a selective memory, but I don’t think that Kennard was doing this kind of stuff last season or even early this season. It’s easy to…
