Show notes

The Detroit Pistons got throttled again on Thursday night, this time at the hands of the Denver Nuggets.

The contrast of coach Mike Malone's team against the Pistons showed some glaring holes in Detroit's game, namely their lack of passing.

Nikola Jokic exposed the Pistons early with his shooting and passing, showing the need for Detroit to improve in both of those areas.

Also, Aaron Johnson of PalaceofPistons.com joined the show to talk about how the site got started, the emergence of Stanley Johnson, his high school team Warren De La Salle's run in the state playoffs and the Thomas Kithier controversy at Macomb Dakota and Clarkston.

The Utah Jazz, a professional basketball franchise, is rounding into form at the right time to make a push for the NBA playoffs.

The Detroit Pistons, currently a wallowing embarrassment, look content to pack it in on the season.

Host Matt Schoch talks abut what was wrong with the Pistons, where Bill Simmons was right (and where he was wrong) in his picking on Blake Griffin and Detroit, and what the Pistons need to do to cultivate the one positive development from the game.

Matt also updates some thoughts on Stan Van Gundy and why those who think he should be fired are probably right at the end of the day.

Show notes

The Chicago Bulls aren't doing a great job of tanking and the Detroit Pistons aren't doing any good at winning.

But Pistons fans often look longingly down I-94 at their Midwest counterparts who decided to go tank-mode this year with a rebuild that started last summer with a trade that looks a lot better now than it did around draft time.

Locked On Pistons host Matt Schoch is joined by Matt Peck of Locked On Bulls for a talk about the Bulls and where they are headed, with Detroit and Chicago set to face off three times in the next 17 games to close the season.

The Toronto Raptors are in town tonight and their recent past could give Detroit Pistons fans hope that a win could be forthcoming.

In addition, Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy has a glimmer of hope for fans in his recent past and the franchise's history (albeit decades ago) could give hope, as well.

We have a clip Pistons assistant coach Tim Hardaway interviewed by our brother podcast, the Locked On Heat guys, and had an interesting beef with today's NBA that he would like to see changed by coaches around the league.
