The Pistons are kinda sorta imploding right now. They’re 8 and 19 since December, and while this isn’t a full-scale Cavs-esque locker-room brawl kind of implosion, you can tell that not all is as it should be. So what’s the deal? You thought you knew what I was going to propose as a solution, and…

Luke Kennard 13 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
Luke Kennard finds ways to get his shot off. It’s a stereotype for people with his melanin levels, but he’s “crafty”. If he just tried shooting it inside the paint without doing a move or five first, it would never work. His release is too low, and he can’t jump high enough to make up…
Read MoreStanley Johnson 18 Points Full Highlights (1/21/2018)
I knew, when he started the season off with an 0-of-13 performance, that Stanley Johnson was going to be in for a long year. Things just aren’t getting better for him; he’s the same player he was his rookie season minus some confidence and plus a starting gig (at least until recently). He’s still a…
Read MoreLuke Kennard 16 Points/1 Quarter Full Highlights (1/19/2018)
Luke Kennard did almost all of his damage in the last half of the fourth quarter in this one. He hit a three early, and then tried to will the Pistons to a victory with his sweet shooting stroke and incredible, blinding whiteness. It didn’t work. Next time, start a little earlier buddy. Being clutch…
Read MoreAnthony Tolliver 17 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
Anthony Tolliver dunks are an extremely rare occurrence; the dunk seen in this video is just the third of his season, and the first one since early November. Last year, the Tollbooth dunked in ten times, but it’s unlikely he matches that explosive total this season, so nobody should be expecting him to get another…
Read MoreIsh Smith 19 Points/10 Assists Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
As a starter in this league, Ish Smith’s record is 31 wins and 85 losses. It might appear on the surface that he is a good point guard, and maybe he even is, but if your team is starting him, it’s probably only reluctantly. Or because you’re tanking (see 2015-16 76ers). He can get some…
Read MoreReggie Bullock 20 Points Full Highlights (1/15/2018)
Reggie Bullock’s hair looks like a flower opening and closing when he runs down the court. That’s all I really wanted to say. I thought people should know. What, you want more stupid words to go with these primo highlights? Those couple sentences aren’t good enough for you, Mr. I-Prefer-The-Printed-Word-Over-Moving-Picture-Technology? Fine. Here’s another tidbit: he’d…
Read MoreAvery Bradley 26 Points Full Highlights (1/13/2018)
Avery Bradley was brought in to the Pistons to elevate them to some sort of new level. Maybe it worked: the Pistons are, indeed, better than last year. I don’t know how much of that minor improvement he is responsible for, but he at least has not tanked the entire operation. Or, thought of another…
Read MoreDwight Buycks 17 Points Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
Pistons commentator Special K (I don’t remember his real name and looking it up in Google would mean switching browser tabs, which I’m too lazy to do) echoed my thoughts exactly after Dwight Buycks made a three-pointer to bring his total up to seventeen in the game: Buycks is in the league for good now….
Read MoreLuke Kennard 13 Points/1 Dunk Full Highlights (1/10/2018)
This is Luke Kennard’s second dunk of the season, if you believe basketball-reference which I do because what other choice do I have, really? The first one was against the Heat, where Kennard also scored thirteen points but for some reason I didn’t make a highlight video. So, first of all I want to apologize…
