Show notes

Amid the lowest point of the season for the Detroit Pistons, Stanley Johnson looks like he's finally putting it together.

The Pistons dropped two tough ones at home to the Washington Wizards and Brooklyn Nets over the weekend, but Johnson appears rejuvenated.

Coincidentally, his name has popped up everywhere in trade rumors for Charlotte post guard Kemba Walker, who is available before the Feb. 8 trade deadline.

Host Matt Schoch breaks down some of those rumors and also has a beef with Stan Van Gundy about the late-game situations.

Locked On Pistons - 1/18/18 - Another Confounding Loss By A Confounding Pistons Team Jan 18, 2018

Show notes

Host Matt Schoch is running out of steam on this Detroit Pistons team and this season.

The troublesome part is it's not easy to pinpoint the problem or what specifically needs to turn around.

Another loss in Toronto puts the Pistons at 22-21 and just a half-game inside the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Where is this team going? And what did Wednesday's loss tell us about the bigger problems?

Locked On Pistons - 1/17/18 - Stan Van Gundy's Biggest Mistake With The Pistons Jan 17, 2018

Show notes

Stan Van Gundy's free agent swings and misses - think Leuer, Boban, Langston - get most of the ire of fans when they run down his mistakes as team president.

But Matt Schoch thinks one move was even worse than that, especially with Van Gundy knowing the kind of coach he had working for him (well, he should know that coach very well...)

We also look ahead to the Toronto Raptors and pass along some great commentary from the biggest story from the week in the NBA, the dust up between the Rockets and Clippers on Monday.

Locked On Pistons - 1/10/18 - Small Baller Van Gundy Joins The LaVar Ball Protest And Pistons Trade Rumors Jan 10, 2018

Show notes

It was only a matter of time but Locked On Pistons has to talk about LaVar Ball as Stan Van Gundy has dipped his toes into the coaches protest of ESPN regarding their coverage of everyone's favorite sports dad.

Detroit also went after Amin Elhassan on Twitter after he went at SVG and then the city of Detroit on his TV and Twitter platforms. It was all in (mostly) good fun and an obvious troll job.

But host Matt Schoch raises the question: Isn't Elhassan personifying his own Ball-type agenda by playing a wrestling heel character against Detroit? Isn't that proving the coaches protest point against his network?
