Reggie Jackson fans, you can come out now. It’s safe. No one’s going to hurt you. He just scored 25 points, no one is going to make fun of you for being a fan. It’s okay. We will still wonder why you’re a fan of him in the first place, but as of right now,…

Luke Kennard 19 Points Full Highlights (1/29/2019)
An observation from the Bucks-Pistons game that Pistons fans have probably been observing for the whole season: the ball movement got way better for them once Blake Griffin sat down. Like, the Bucks were getting totally bamboozled by the amount of passing going on. Then Griffin comes back in, and it’s back to pretending he’s…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 19 Points Full Highlights (1/19/2019)
Luke Kennard only needed to look to the opposing bench to find the player who he should be trying to emulate. No, it’s not Kosta Koufos, even though Kennard is trying to emulate Koufos’ cataclysmic hair loss. I’m talking about Buddy Hield here. Kennard and Hield are similar players. Both are shooting guards who are…
Read MoreReggie Bullock 19 Points Full Highlights (1/18/2019)
In the first quarter of this game, after Reggie “Ock and Bull Torture” Bullock had scored eight quick points, it was mentioned by the commentators that Bullock is prone to hot starts that cool off after the first quarter. So I decided to do some fact-checking. Yeah, I know. DTB and fact-checking. Hilarious pairing, right?…

If Luke Kennard is planning on making a career out of step-in midrange jumpers, I’m here to tell him not do that. He can still shoot those shots sometimes, but he has to offset those “bad” shots with lots of three-point chucking. That’s what teams and coaches want these days. No one cares how aesthetic…

It pains me to admit it, but there are times when my extensive (some would say encyclopedic) knowledge of the current state of the NBA fails me. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s devastating to my psyche. I am reduced to a shell of my former shelf, my identity lying shattered around…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 16 Points Full Highlights (12/30/2018)
New suggestion for the Pistons’ commentators: whenever Luke Kennard knocks down a three-pointer or hits one of his smooth, confident midrange jimbos, you have to yell “He just put them in the KENNEL!” This works on so many levels. It’s like an onion of metaphors where you keep peeling away layers to find more layers:…
Read MoreLangston Galloway 22 Points Full Highlights (12/26/2018)
I was all ready to make some kind of intelligent-sounding proclamation in this video description about how, when the Pistons’ shooters actually show up to the game and make shots, the Pistons have no problem winning. It was going to be a masterpiece of sports journalism, honestly. People were going to look back at this…
Read MoreReggie Bullock Career High 33 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (12/19/2018)
Reggie “Ock and Bull Torture” Bullock seems to be the Khris Middleton replacement that the Pistons have been searching for these past few years. Trading that dude away was a mistake, no doubt about it, but they took their time and when they found Bullock lying facedown in the trash heap of discarded NBA players,…
Read MoreStanley Johnson 20 Points Full Highlights (12/17/2018)
It’s taken a while, three long years of patience from Pistons fans, but Stanley Johnson is finally turning into a not-horrible offensive player. After tonight’s performance, he’s crawled over the 40 percent mark for field goal shooting on a season, something he has never done before. At least, something he has never done before as…
