The Detroit Pistons haven’t exactly made good on an encouraging 2-1 start to the season, losers of a league-high 10 straight games entering Friday’s in-season tournament matchup with the Indiana Pacers. Don’t blame Ausar Thompson for his team’s frustrating and ongoing ineptitude, though. The rookie wing has already cemented himself as one of the game’s […]

The Detroit Pistons currently own a 2-13 record, the worst mark in the NBA to this point in the season. Losers of nine straight games, nothing has gone right for the Pistons so far this year. Starting center Jalen Duren has been in and out of the lineup due to ongoing ankle problems and the […]

No one expected the Detroit Pistons to immediately be good after they had acquired Monty Williams, Ausar Thompson, and Jaden Ivey. But, there seems to be some level of complacency inside the Cade Cunningham-led squad. It started to show during the early games of their 10-game losing streak and it apparently got worse against the […]

The Detroit Pistons have been a disappointment so far early in the 2023-24 NBA season. They are currently 2-12 and have now lost 11 consecutive games. They currently hold the worst record in the NBA. They have a solid young nucleus of players, it just has not translated onto the court this season. One of […]

Ausar Thompson was already highly regarded as a prospect before the Detroit Pistons drafted him with the fifth overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft.

The Detroit Pistons are reeling after a 126-120 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday night that dropped Coach Monty Williams’s team to 2-10 on the season. For a Pistons team loaded with athleticism and young talented, the start to the 2023-2024 season has been nothing short of disastrous, prompting a series of loaded takes […]

Monty Williams is doing a great job of building a winning culture in the Detroit Pistons system.

The Detroit Pistons have clearly shown improvement relative to their on-court product for the past three years, which is a testament to the continued development of youngsters Cade Cunningham, Jalen Duren, and Ausar Thompson as well as the stable coaching ways of Monty Williams. But it hasn’t quite resulted in success in the win column […]

Tyrese Maxey has been sensational for the Philadelphia 76ers to start the 2023-24 season, so much so that Philly fans couldn’t help but mock James Harden and emphasize they aren’t missing him at all with the youngster having a breakout campaign. On Friday in the Sixers’ NBA In-Season Tournament showdown with the Detroit Pistons, Maxey […]

Jaden Ivey has experienced somewhat of a bizarre start to the 2023-24 NBA season, his second year in the association.

The 28-year-old was hit with a technical foul in the second quarter, and was given another early in the third — along with an ejection — in front […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are giving the Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers a run for their money. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s squad has gradually gotten into the groove of their late-game offense. This has led them to a five-win record after their recent win over Monty Williams’ Detroit Pistons. But, that win is not just the talk of […]

In the lead-up to the 2023 NBA Draft, some analysts questioned whether Ausar Thompson’s (and his brother Amen’s, for that matter) production in the Overtime Elite league will translate to the NBA.

The Detroit Pistons have cooled off a bit after an exciting start to the 2023-2024 season that almost saw them roar back on Opening Night to defeat the defending Eastern Conference Champion Miami Heat on the road.
