Detroit Is Making The NBA Uncomfortable Again
The Detroit Pistons are breaking every modern NBA rule. No threes, physical defense like it’s the 2000s, and ugly wins. Let’s unpack why Detroit’s throwback style is dominating the East right now.

Do you think this old-school style can take Pistons to the Finals? 👀

Better than the 3, the three point play (and 1) gives an even greater advantage. And 1’s yield 2.5 points per attempt whereas 3 pointers yield only 1.08 per attempt. Opponents also foul out and play less aggressively. This is why players like Deni Advija are the real future.
They are also the deepest team in the league. They are closer to the Vad Boys than the Going to Work Pistons
NBA will just change the rules again, further handcuffing defensive play
The Pistons are a team of hardworking, good-honest players who bring their best effort every game, what's not to love about them?
Love how you describe it, and your accent makes it 100% better! Hoping you're right, and our brand of basketball stays as long as possible.
Well after they took away our top 3-point shooter (Malik Beasley) we go back to our core principals of Detroit Basketball DEFENSE
Love Darren. Pistons centers are really built in there own way, not massive tall body’s, just strong physical boys
Deeetroooiit Basskeetballlllllll
Great Analysis, my Friend.
When the pistons do good
THE Red wings do good
Trust me I dont even know what's going gotta take it though csnt complain
I know better than to get too hyped up about any of the Detroit teams. But I’m glad to see them finally getting some wins, let’s see how long it last
Went to the game last night and they got smashed by Miami. They turned over the ball too many times and in clutch moments. Not good.
The pistons are playing REAL Basketball
Cade is like Grant Hill, if he played with the 04 pistons. 😊
This is why I fell in love with the Pistons 35 years ago.
Run it back bad boys 3.0
That fact that the NBA hates it is reason enough why we like it
New bad boys
I think the 3pt shooting will be the downfall of this team unfortunately. They’re a super fun group to watch, I loved the battle they had with the knicks in the playoffs last year
Hmmm hard D and high percentage shots…
Weird. I never thought would work.
Lol
If you play solid fundamental basketball and make more of your higher percentage shots inside the 3 point line you can easily beat most teams…even the ones who shoot the 3 at a high percentage.
ACTUAL basketball played properly will always outperform whatever gimmick lame ass analytics style they’re playing now. Basketball played through the paint was, is, and always will be more entertaining for watch.
I’d give up fouls all day long if it meant the opposing team was going to be scared and more hesitant to go in the paint.
It’s so entertaining to watch Isaiah Stewart back down fake young guys like Draymond Green and LeLongevity James. They don’t want none of that..😂
Shades of the Wallace era Detroit and a not-so-murderous Bad Boys Pistons. We need this kind of basketball back.
Pretty sure Adam is drafting new rules to ruin the Pistons.
Every time the game is played this way, championships are won!
Current basketball is garbage. All 3s, no D, stars that run the lane & get auto fouls. Go Pistons. Back to work
As someone who grew up in Detroit under the early 2000s pistons this is pretty cool well done video as well
After about 10 yrs away. This might actually get me to start watching the NBA again
FRAUDS, period.
Another Bad Boys reincarnation
This style has made me pay attention to the pistons when in the fact I rooted for them but don’t pay much attention. I love the bad boy style return. Out physicaling a team is my favorite type of basketball
If it ain't broke don't fix it
My Detroit pistons invented the full court press, and are the epitome of gritty physical D. The bad boys broke records, going to work era broke the system.
Gentlemen sweep of Shaq and Kobe, without a single "superstar" that's a statement in any era
Take the 04 pistons then add a superstar and you see what we have been blessed with as of late.
You know basketball may actually have hope if the Pistons and the Spurs are taking everyone to school again
The Pistons are playing playoff basketball and they’re doing it in the regular season. This is what’s gonna give them an edge during the playoffs.
While other teams are gonna try and increase their physicality and slow the game down and change your styles, the Pistons are gonna be having an edge because they’ve been doing it all season
Cmon now! 65 points at halftime or 120 total aint old school defense! But they look good this year!!!
DETROIT BASKETBALL!!!!
Detroit is playing defense and the league is in shambles. HOW ABOUT YOU ALL PLAY SOME FUCKING DEFENSE TOO? 😆🤣
this is a nitpick, but kawhi scored his career high 55pts on them, And Clippers being bottom rank on the league.
Pistons fan here, but realistic. Not beating OKC or Spurs in 7 games. Strong team though
NBA might hate this but I love it. Feels like a game with emotion and intensity, instead of a professionally choreographed scrimmage.
It's unfortunate that so many ticky tack fouls are called .
Of course the league hates pistons…
NBA is dominated by "star scorers" … Those who wants to score but never defend 😂😂😂😂😂
That once you rough em up… They cry foul… And say "you're destroying the league" when they hog all possession 😂😂😂😂😂
Why Jordan became the GOAT is mostly because he respects the pistons enough to rough em up the way they rough him up 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh… "They always act tough when they are up" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
But once punch in the face… They cry foul 😂😂😂😂😂
