In this episode of the Detroit City Sports Cast, Garret and Adam welcome back Matt Feldbeard to discuss everything related to the Detroit Pistons. They talk about Cade Cunningham's emergence, the impact of JB Bickerstaff, and what the future holds for the team, among other topics.

On this edition of The Big Number, Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine take a look at every single front-runner for each of the NBA Awards: MVP, Most Improved Player, 6th Man of the Year, Coach of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. Will the current favorites hang on for the next month? Tom and Dan break down SGA's chances of winning his 1st MVP, and whether LeBron James has a true, viable path to chasing him down (in LeBron chasedown fashion). Evan Mobley is the current DPOY favorite, but Tom explains why he "hates" that. Could Evan's head coach Kenny Atkinson be caught by JB Bickerstaff? Cade Cunningham leads MIP as the Pistons dream season continues, but should former #1 overall picks even be eligible for that award? And the nominees that could catch Payton Pritchard for 6MOY. Plus the guys weigh in on the devastating Kyrie Irving news as it pertains to his looming contract situation, and go in hard on Mavericks GM Nico Harrison.(1:40) - Big Number: SGA or Jokic for MVP?

0:04 ... Ross welcomes everyone to the show and introduces his co-hosts. 0:34 ... Episode #144 is dedicated to the Thunder and Cavs, who lead their respective conferences with 44 wins at the break. 0:47 ... Ross live BetOnLine commercial read 1:20 ... For our YouTube viewers, Bruce is rocking an All-Star hat from the 1996 All Star game in San Antonio where he first crossed paths with future colleague and lifetime pal Tim Legler, who won the Long Distance Shootout that year. 2:09 ... Ross begins his recap of All Star Weekend and Bruce's initial thought is that he wished he had binge watched "The Landman" on Paramount Plus instead of another boring All-Star weekend. 3:13 ... World B was similarly unimpressed with the gimmicks the league tried.  If the players don't care, the event will always disappoint. 4:14 ... Bruce wonders if the trade deadline should move closer to All-Star weekend to help juice up interest, but World B offers a good reason why that may not be viable.  Ross points out that Damian Lillard had some valid points about player fatigue being a factor in why the game lacks intensity. 6:52 ... Ross recaps the Rising Stars competition and feels that one of the good parts of the weekend was seeing younger guys and G-League players get some exposure.  World B agrees and Bruce says a prime example of that was Stephon Castle of the Spurs, who made a major impact in his events. 9:14 ... Ross mentions rookie Reed Shepherd and wonders if we overhyped him.  Bruce thinks he may be a late bloomer and World B points out how young he is.  World B adds that Houston COULD have drafted Castle and must be kicking themselves over that move. 11:28 ... Ross transitions to the Skills Competition which featured controversy involving an attempt by the Spurs duo of Chris Paul and Victor Wembanyama to exploit a loophole in the rules to gain an unfair advantage.  Bruce isn't buying that it was Wemby's idea as he thinks Chris Paul instigated it and made the young dude take the heat for it. 13:58 ... Bruce wonders if these shenanigans chip away at the credibility of the sport. 15:07 ... Tyler Herro beat Buddy Hield in the Long Distance Shootout and the guys discuss how Herro has played through many distractions in Miami and is doing so well. 18:06 ... Mac McClung dominated the Dunk Contest with a variety of cool slams.  Bruce wants to give McClung the "Woody Harrelson White Men CAN Jump Award" as he was reminded of other undersized winners from years past like Spud Webb and Nate Robinson.  World B thinks the dunk over the car was one of the best dunks ever. 21:50 ... Ross recaps the championship game and Bruce highlights Steph Curry's two showstopping shots that won him the MVP Award.  Ross asks World B if the All Star game should have a new gimmick like a 4 of 5 point shot?  World B thinks matchup between Teams from the USA and an International team would help drive interest and players effort. 26:03 ... Preseason prediction recaps ... Bruce starts out with his choice of Stephon Castle as his preseason rookie of the year pick and explains how his big weekend at the All Star game makes him the leader in the clubhouse.  World B whips through some picks he made and says Jalen Williams would win Most Improved Player.  Ross agrees but Bruce likes Cade Cunningham to win the award. 30:37 ... Bruce had Shai Gilgeous Alexander as his MVP pick and he's pretty certain that SGA will win with Nikola Jokic second and Giannis third.  World B thinks SGA is deserving but still makes a great case for Joker. 32:58 ... Ross with a gratuitous cheap shot at World B's Orlando Magic team.  Bruce praises the brutal coldness of the comment.  But Ross's MVP choice of Luka Doncic will not be happening. 34:15 ... The Coach of the Year race?  Ross says Kenny Atkinson will win even though his preseason pick was Jamahl Moseley.  Bruce liked Ime Udoka prior to the season but feels Atkinson will win it.  World B agrees but also gives some flowers to Ty Lue of the Clippers.  Bruce and Ross give a little bit of love to JB Bickerstaff in Detroit who has done a tremendous job with a young team. 39:05 ... Ross tees up the OKC vs Boston finals prediction ... Bruce still likes the Celtics to win it, but they have certainly lacked consistency this season.  Ross shared this prediction but World B liked Minnesota to come out of the west and play Boston. 41:59 ... Ross begins the discussion on second half predictions and Bruce feels like Minnesota could get themselves on a roll as they begin a stretch of 7 out of their next 9 games on the road.  If they can go 6-3, they may be ready to go into the next gear. 43:12 ... World B with some startling facts about Boston's starters and what isn't clicking.  He adds that Cleveland is for real and points out the Cavs have some tough matchups with the Knicks coming up. 46:53 ... Ross predicts the Suns will miss the playoffs entirely, which is shocking considering who is on their team.  But they have a brutal schedule and Bradley Beal is injured and morale around the team seems low. 48:42 ... Bruce chimes in Denver, whom he expects to peak at the right time.  But he does not fully trust Memphis because when Ja Morant plays, they have a much lower winning percentage than they do when he is out of the lineup. 50:22 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye. TRT 50:38

Raising Canes in metro Detroit!

Bregman update, Fast Food news!

Alex Golden and Mike Facci are back to discuss a very chippy game between the blue and gold and the red and blue. Detroit wanted so badly to respond to the beating they took on their homecourt earlier in the month against Indiana, but they found themselves on the wrong side again, taking their 3rd loss from the Pacers this season, behind a terrific night from Pascal Siakam, Tyrese Haliburton and multiple role players who outperformed what they're normally asked to do. Pistons backup center, Isaiah Beef Stew Stewart was ejected from the game for two arm shoving Thomas Bryant around the head area, JB Bickerstaff felt like lines were crossed with what was said on the court and Tyrese Haliburton said until they meet in the playoffs, this is not a rivalry. We discuss all the theatrics in tonight's game and more! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Nick and Jonathan discuss how Cavs fans reacted to JB Bickerstaff last night.

Nick and Jonathan are joined by Jared Weiss of The Athletic, and they discuss how Cavs fans reacted to JB Bickerstaff. Then, they give each other quick stories around sports and give their instant reaction to them.

JB Bickerstaff has done a good job turning around the Pistons this season, but he might be seen as a coach who can rebuild teams but not take them to a championship level.

JB Bickerstaff is now pigeonholed as a rebuild coach+Nick Wilson isn't buying in to the Josh Allen pity party

The Pistons are fresh off a great start to a tough stretch of games — beating the Rockets and now the Hawks. In both, Cade was absolutely dominant. Blake and Wes marvel at those recent performances, discussing why Cade Cunningham making an All NBA team is not so far fetched. They also dive into why Trajan Langdon is in a challenging position heading into the trade deadline, the ceilings of Ron Holland, Ausar Thompson and Jaden Ivey, and JB Bickerstaff's approach to the coaches challenge.

The Jimmy Butler drama continues and Bruce said this divorce was totally predictable.  When Pat Riley criticized Butler during last season's playoffs, the handwriting was on the wall for the divorce.  World B feels that very few GMs around the league will be knocking down the door with offers for Butler. 13:47 .. Butler isn't Miami's only problem.  Bam Adebayo has had a tough season and looks worn out after the Olympics and Ross feels part of Bam's struggles are the result of not having a real point guard.   Ross also feels that a third team might need to be involved in order to facilitate a Butler trade. 16:49 ... Kawhi Leonard is back after being out for 253 days.  His return bolsters a Clippers team that has overachieved in his absence.  His defense is a given but World B feels the Clippers really need his offense.  They're a talented but aging team and the question is "do they have one more run left in them?" 21:14 ... The Cleveland Cavaliers are a league-best 31-4 and are currently on a 10 game win streak.  It's their second double digit win streak of the season and we're still a month away from the All Star Break.  World B said the Cavs remind him of the 2019 Raptors when Toronto fired coach Dwane Casey and brought in Nick Nurse.  The Cavs did something similar when they fired JB Bickerstaff and hired Kenny Atkinson over the summer.  Will Cleveland win the NBA Championship like Toronto did? 26:00 ... Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama faced off twice over the weekend with Denver and San Antonio splitting the two games.  The epic matchup featured incredible performances from both big men.  Joker is a three time MVP and Wemby will probably be the Defensive Player of the Year.  The crew was incredibly impressed with both guys. 31:22 ... Anthony Edwards has had a frustrating season and Ross wonders if he is "thinking the game" properly.  World B thinks some of his recent comments were silly and are the result of his frustration.  Bruce thinks that the Karl-Anthony Towns trade has been a major reason for AntMan's frustration. 36:02 ... The Warriors have lost Jonathan Kuminga for at least three weeks with a severe ankle sprain.  World B is concerned that the depth on the team is already shaky and losing Kuminga is a big blow.  And since the defense is not that good, losing Kuminga's offense really hurts. 39:11 ... Ross wonders if Jimmy Butler might be a candidate to join the Warriors since he was always on their radar screen.  Bruce doesn't feel Butler would work salary-wise, but Ross think that Golden State might make the move to help Steph Curry continue to be successful in the twilight of his career. 40:56 ... Final Thoughts ... Bruce's appreciation of Derrick Rose, who was honored in Chicago over the weekend.  Ross has his own memories of Rose from when Ross worked for the Bucks. 43:19 ...Ross's final thought is on Immanuel Quickley of the Raptors who is back healthy after a lengthy injury absence. 44:00 ... Ross says goodbye TRT 44:23                  

The Pistons really soiled themselves against the Bucks and the Celtics. But it's not all bad… even though the beginning of this podcast starts that way. Blake and Wes break down the simple thing the Bucks did to generate all those wide open threes, and how the Celtics immediately followed suit. But as a silver lining, they also explain why this could be a vital learning experience for these young Pistons. The guys discuss what's going wrong with Jalen Duren on defense and why Ron Holland's potential is so exciting. Finally, they explore all options on the table for JB Bickerstaff with the starting lineup, how the season's goals might change the decision, and Wes explains why he still wouldn't want to change the rotation.
