A Pistons Group Therapy Session I The Pindown Nov 23, 2023

Happy Thanksgiving! ... Our Pistons have lost 12 games in a row, and the guys have questions. Through 14 games, we don’t really know much more about the core young players on this team than we did before the season started — and that’s a shame. Questions this week focused on Cade Cunningham’s ability to be the number 1 guy, if Jaden Ivey will continue to start moving forward, and if a guy like Zach LaVine is a good fit for this team right now.

Inside The Cylinder ep. 98: The Blake Griffin conundrum Jan 21, 2021

In this week’s episode Matt Way and I (David Fernandez) get things going by breaking down the Detroit Pistons collapse against the Atlanta Hawks. Even though this year is all about the TANK, watching the Pistons cough up a 17 point lead in the fourth quarter is still hard on the eyes.

A lowlight includes the Hawks’ bigs absolutely abusing Detroit’s front-court, more on that from Matt. And, as the the title signals, we finally have a long-form discussion regarding Blake Griffin. How should Detroit utilize him moving forward? What does the future hold for Griffin? We’ll take a deeper dive on those questions.

Inside The Cylinder ep. 97: Sekou Doumbouya’s minutes - something or nothing? Jan 15, 2021

In this week’s episode of Inside The Cylinder, David Fernandez and Matt Way break down Sekou Doumbouya’s minutes, or lack thereof. After a two game stretch where Doumbouya averaged just 5 minutes per game, he had a DNP-CD in their most recent game, this past Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head Coach Dwane Casey has noted that Doumbouya hasn’t played because he’s been buried in the power forward rotation, but there’s been some instances where Griffin hasn’t played due to rest, and that hasn’t resulted in major minutes for the second year player from France. The situation is confusing, but at this point in the Pistons schedule, is it meaningful? They’ll also discuss the following topics The point guard rotation following Killian Hayes’ injury Detroit’s three point defense - what’s gone wrong? How do they fix it? COVID-19 and it’s effect on the NBA schedule The bottom of the NBA standings All that and more in this week’s episode!

Inside The Cylinder ep. 96: Pistons dodge injury bullet and start to form an identity Jan 06, 2021

In this week’s episode of Inside The Cylinder, Matt (@waymatth) and I (@THE_FERNANTULA) discuss the Pistons games from this past week. They were able to secure one win against the Celtics, but then dropped their last two to the Celtics and Bucks (the baseball series have begun!), we’ll talk about what we’ve noticed on the floor and why we’ve been pleasantly surprised, even as the losses continue to pile up. Luckily for Detroit, it appears they’ve dodged a bullet with both Josh Jackson’s ankle and Killian Hayes’ hip injury, but Dwane Casey may have to manage how he goes about reintegrating them back into the line-up - there’s no need to rush them back into action when this team is destined for a bottom three finish this season. We’ll take a look at some possible solutions from a rotational standpoint. They’ll also discuss the following topics Why the Pistons should continue to pick up the pace Svi for THREEEEEE Detroit’s newfound identity All that and more in this week’s episode!

Detroit Basketball Eve - what a lovely day it is. Before the regular season tips off, and before any actual Pistons content is discussed, Matt and I revisit the Luke Kennard trade.

Detroit vs. Everybody... Else: Backcourt Apr 25, 2017

On this special episode of the Detroit Bad Boys podcast, Jordan Bellant and Ben Gulker are joined by Jacob Kuyvenhoven. The trio tackle the idea of comparing the Pistons roster to every playoff team's roster in the East. Starting with the point guard spot, it pits Reggie Jackson against the other point guards in the East. The top four (Isaiah Thomas, Kyrie Irving, John Wall, and Kyle Lowry) make for a quick conversation, but also lead to inspecting the merits of Isaiah's career year and how to properly rank the PGs in the East. From there, it moves onto the teams ranked 5th through 9th in the Eastern Conference Standings. With questions like: Is Dennis Schroder good? Is Malcolm Brogdon your Rookie of the Year? And which version of Rondo do you use to compare? After point guard, it's time to talk KCP and the shooting guards. While Kentavious heads for an important summer, where does he really rank amongst two-guards in the East? Below Demar and Bradley, but who else? Is he better than a two-way player like Avery Bradley? What about the cast of one-way players like J.R. Smith and Dion Waiters?

Huge, If True: Trade Rumors & Fake Trades Jan 28, 2017

“Let’s talk about what might be, instead of what is.” On this episode, Jordan Bellant and Ben Gulker are joined by Jacob Kuyvenhoven to discuss trade rumors and some intriguing fake trades put together by Jacob. Starting with the much buzzed Reggie-Ricky swap (2:50), the guys discuss issues of fit and the idea of seeing the Pistons’ starting point guard in trade rumors. Now, onto the world of make pretend. If the team was moving on from Reggie, what about for Goran Dragic (10:00)? What about trading the back-up point guard? Two trades involving Ish Smith have him moving to the Lakers for Los Williams (15:15) and Brooklyn for Jeremy Lin (22:25). Staying in the backcourt, Jacob brings forward a KCP+Baynes trade. The trio debates the idea of moving KCP for a better scoring two-guard (26:15). Ben also discusses why Aron Baynes might be expendable at the deadline (32:50). Jacob brings up a spot to trade away Baynes (35:35). Marcus Morris has a reasonable contract, but what can he bring back in a trade (38:35)? Jacob asks if the Pistons care about draft picks and if they ‘should’ care about draft picks (42:35). Marcus Morris could be the type of asset to help the Pistons go younger: Like adding Mario Hezonja and a draft pick (45:50). Next is “an interesting package for Tobias Harris” (51:10). That leads to a conversation about Harris’ value and how he fits on a championship contender. The last trade is centered (bad pun) around Andre Drummond (1:02:25).

Moving onto the Nets game (15:15), it can really only be described as disappointing and bizarre. Finally for game reviews, the trio talks about the win over the Nuggets (28:05).
