Locked On Pistons - 3/23/18 - OT Loss To Houston Brings Reggie Jackson Question Back To Forefront Mar 23, 2018

Show notes

Reggie Jackson is back and so is a competitive Detroit Pistons team, which fell in overtime to one of the NBA title favorites.

But Jackson's woeful offensive performance brings back the questions about the team's point guard that they'll have to figure out going forward, especially considering how he'll co-exist as a clear No. 2 scoring option in the clutch to Blake Griffin.

Host Matt Schoch breaks down the loss, including the lackluster 3-point shooting, Blake's strong game and some questionable calls from the officials.

We also look ahead to the Chicago Bulls on Saturday night and some things Matt heard in a must-listen podcast episode recently that got him thinking about Stan Van Gundy's future with the Pistons.

Locked On Pistons - 3/22/18 - Kay Felder Of Grand Rapids Drive Joins Us And Giannis Gives A Glimmer Of Hope? Mar 22, 2018

Show notes

It's hard to be an optimist about the Detroit Pistons playoff hopes these days, but if you're looking for hope, look no further than Milwaukee's loss Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Clippers.

There, a big injury could be the light that lets the Pistons back into the Eastern Conference playoff race.

But first, the Pistons must deal with the league's best team in the Houston Rockets.

Also, Grand Rapids Drive point guard Kay Felder, a Detroiter who starred at Oakland collegiately, joins host Matt Schoch to talk about how the Drive are, a-hem, driving toward the G League playoffs and what he's trying to do in his quest to become a regular NBA player.

We also have an excerpt from NBA commissioner Adam Silver, who joined David Locke on the Locked On NBA podcast on Thursday.
