After making the playoffs last season and swiftly exiting following a sweep by the Milwaukee Bucks, the Detroit Pistons are looking to make the playoffs again in the 2019-20 NBA season. After posting a 41-41 record in the 2018-19 season, the Pistons are currently not projected to make the playoffs, as The Action Network projects […]

In today’s NBA chock full of three-point riflemen, a franchise can not have too many three-point shooters who can double as floor spacers and solid defenders. Over the last few offseasons, veteran players who fit the above description have been at the top of every NBA team’s wish list, with 3-time NBA champion shooting guard […]

It’s a little weird to think that this Philadelphia Eagles team won the Super Bowl in 2017. While that team was very talented, this year’s squad has had some ups and downs, and after a Week 2 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, they are looking a lot less threatening than the team that held the […]

The Minnesota Vikings have one of the more talented rosters in the NFL. The Vikings bolster talented pass catchers on offense in Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs and Kyle Rudolph, and they have a bell cow running back in Dalvin Cook. Much to the dismay of all these talents, the man throwing the ball has not […]

Over the past few seasons, Houston Rockets guard James Harden has proven himself as one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history.

Even though the Detroit Pistons were on track to earn a five or six-seed and potentially cause a first-round upset last season, they stumbled into the playoffs, barely got the eight-seed and proceeded to get swept by the Milwaukee Bucks in rather ugly fashion.

The Detroit Lions and the Los Angeles Chargers seem to be very similar teams in the 2019 season.

Detroit Lions fans all over the country felt a sadness that is all-too-familiar yesterday, as despite the fact that they didn’t lose their Week 1 match-up to the Arizona Cardinals, they surrendered an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter, avoiding the win in a pathetic fashion that gave Lions fans P.T.S.D. Despite the disappointing result, […]

The wait is finally over, and NFL fans everywhere can finally rejoice knowing there will be hours of professional football to watch this weekend as Week 1 commences.

Every basketball player’s journey to the NBA is rather unique, and Atlanta Hawk forward De’Andre Hunter’s is no different.

While most star players in the NBA are known by casual fans everywhere due to their popularity, exposure on national television, and kids sporting their jerseys all around the world, there are a few talented ballers who slip through the cracks of the national media and fly under the-radar.

After losing to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night, the 2019 preseason for the Detroit Lions is officially over.

The best part of every preseason in the NFL is that there are always a few unknown names who break out in these somewhat-meaningless games to go from roster cuts to impact players who can potentially save a season. These games are where stars like former New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz made a […]

Over the 2010s, there have not been many players who have defined what it means to be underrated as well as Mike Conley of the Utah Jazz.

After the Portland Trail Blazers made their longest playoff run since 2000 this past season, their cap space took a big hit, as they decided to sign star guard CJ McCollum to a 3-year, $100 extension that will kick in after the 2020-21 season. Some are calling this extension risky, as it may not be […]

There are quite a few instances in the NFL where teams deal first-round picks for what they thought were talented skill players. It’s a gamble that usually doesn’t work out due to the value of the pick and the pressure put on the player traded, with running back Trent Richardson being a prime example of […]

Perhaps the most vital position to excel at in the NBA these days is the power forward, as having a quality four who can bang inside and space the floor from the outside can give an offense a multitude of possibilities. Luckily for Detroit Pistons fans, they have one of the best po0 wer forwards […]

There is perhaps no incoming high school freshmen in America as well known as Lebron James Jr. His highlights have been all over Instagram, his recruitment is already being covered by sites like Yahoo Sports, and his somewhat famous father has made his presence felt at each one of his son’s summer games. Despite the […]

Not many NBA rookies are lucky enough to get drafted into situations where they’ll get to not only play meaningful minutes right away but also get a chance to show their worth in the NBA playoffs.

There has already been quite a bit of buzz about this 2019 draft class, with the two Duke men in Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett grabbing the majority of the the headlines.

With two-time NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard leaving the Toronto Raptors to play with Paul George on the Los Angeles Clippers, it appears the Eastern Conference is wide open. While teams like the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers are likely to be at the top of the East, this conference is there for the taking, […]

It’s been quite a long time since opposing offenses feared the defensive line of the Detroit Lions. Not since the days of Ndamukong Suh, Cliff Avril, and Nick Fairley more than five years ago have quarterbacks feared playing the Lions because of their big men causing trouble up front. Part of the reason why the […]

Every NBA team needs glue guys; players whose numbers won’t stand out on a box score, but will play exceptional defense, always hustle, create shots for their teammates, and step up when called upon.

The 2019-20 Boston Celtics will look much different than they have in the last few seasons.

Aside from Walker, much of the production will […]

While the Milwaukee Bucks were able to retain most of their one-seeded squad (including George Hill) that helped their team dominate the East in the regular season, they lost one key piece in Malcolm Brogdon. Even though Brogdon wasn’t healthy all of last season, he was an avid shot creator in Milwaukee and a quality […]

While free agency has slowed down a bit since the onslaught of Sunday evening, the Detroit Pistons are not done making moves, as they recently signed Markieff Morris to a two-year, 3.6 million dollar deal. The 8-year veteran split time last season with the Washington Wizards and Oklahoma City Thunder, as he was good for […]

Although Jimmy Butler is no longer a Philadelphia 76er, adding Al Horford opens up so many possibilities for the team on offense. Philadelphia 76ers general manager Elton Brand made one of the biggest splashes of free agency thus far this past Sunday, as he used $109 million to take Joel Embiid’s kryptonite in Al Horford […]

It looks like a done deal that Derrick Rose will be a Detroit Piston, which may be a match made in heaven for both parties. As of 2:00 p.m. on June 30, 2019, it is looking like a lock that former MVP Derrick Rose is heading to Motor City to play for the Detroit, as […]

Out of all the potential options at pick No. 15 for the Detroit Pistons in the 2019 NBA Draft, most experts projected that French sensation Sekou Doumbouya would not be one of them because he would be gone by the time the Pistons picked.

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond will participate in the 2019 USA Basketball training camp in August. The four-day minicamp will take place from Aug. 5-8 under the tutelage of head coach Gregg Popovich, as Team USA will prepare to head to China from late August to mid-September for the FIBA World Cup. Drummond is one of four […]

Detroit Lions fans were quite disappointed to see head coach Matt Patricia’s first year as head coach be a relative failure, as even though they earned a big win against Patricia’s former team in Week 3, they finished the season at a mediocre 6-10. One of the reasons why 2018 was not the one of […]
