Locked On Pistons - 4/26/18 - The Night Isiah Thomas Became A Detroit Pistons Icon Apr 26, 2018

Show notes

Isiah Thomas is the greatest Piston ever.

He was already a three-time All-Star by the time the 1984 playoffs rolled around, but during an epic showdown with Bernard King of the New York Knicks in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs, Zeke served notice that he was here to stay.

That's our Pistons Playoff Playback moment for today, 34 years ago on Friday as Zeke scored 16 points in 94 seconds at Joe Louis Arena in a loss.

We also update the Stan Van Gundy mysterious meeting situation and look back on an amazing Wednesday night of NBA playoff action, including incredible nights from LeBron James and Russell Westbrook.

Show notes

We may have seen the final acts of the fantastic NBA careers of two legends on Tuesday night.

But well before they were wily veterans, Manu Ginobili and Dwyane Wade had quite the histories with the Detroit Pistons when they were relevant - which really puts in perspective just how old those guys are.

Host Matt Schoch tributes those players and passes along some memories of their battles with the Goin' To Work era teams.

We also run down the NBA playoffs action and highlight another Pistons Playoff Playback memory, a forgotten season in the beginning years of the Bad Boys juggernaut.

Show notes

Since Detroit Pistons fans can't have the experience of knowing they will root for Donovan Mitchell, let's talk to someone who is living it.

Hilarious comedian J-L Cauvin is from New York City but somehow became a Utah Jazz fan and has thoughts on Stockton and Malone, Mitchell's shocking rookie season, dominant video game plays and the rise of the 3-pointer in hoops.

As a bonus, Cauvin also set up an interview with President Trump, who happened to be in J-L's hotel room in Tampa with him on Sunday.

Host Matt Schoch also has today's Pistons Playoff Playback, a memorable Goin' To Work era triumph.

Show notes

Are the Detroit Pistons making a major mistake in not moving to find a new coach, as a potential coaching star in Jerry Stackhouse is available... for now?

The former Pistons volume scorer has been coaching the Raptors 905 in the G League for two seasons, and is reportedly on the top of the list for openings in New York, Charlotte and Orlando.

Host Matt Schoch talks about what kidney reputation he has, what kind of coach he could be and what this delay could mean for Stan Van Lundy's future in Detroit.

We also run down Tuesday's NBA playoff action, including a possible Andre Drummond trade destination, a John Wall vs. Blake Griffin conversation, and what does the Pelicans late-season and playoff run mean for the reputation of Boogie Cousins.
