Podcasts about Detroit Pistons

The Pistons may have dropped a tight contest against a strong Houston Rockets team, but they are still sitting alone at the top of the Eastern Conference. With the trade deadline right around the corner, Wes and Blake break down that loss to the Rockets and what it might mean for the playoffs to come. How should the team counter the Rockets' defensive strategy? How often will Cade see that defense? They also dive into a mock trade deadline that Wes was fortunate enough to participate in, hosted by the Bird Rights Podcast. What trades were these fake Pistons able to make? What do we think about the value of those deals and how the roster fits together in that scenario? Finally, the guys answer the big question… would this team be better with Malik Beasley than they are with Duncan Robinson?We've got you covered for all this and more in this week's episode!You can watch the entire episode on our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Wes Davenport on Twitter ⁠⁠@TheRealWesD3⁠⁠Follow Blake Silverman on Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@BlakeSilverman⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Detroit Bad Boys on Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@DetroitBadBoys⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to hear your voice on the Pindown?

Welcome back to the Sorry to Interrupt podcast! Sean is back for another edition of “the NBA Rundown” on the pod as he goes in depth on the biggest storylines of the week including Jimmy Butler tearing his ACL in Golden State, the never-ending Giannis trade rumors, the Pistons passing another test and a very strange stretch for the Rockets. Lastly, Sean highlights the biggest games on the schedule for the weekend. Everyone enjoy the pod!

The Heavyweights start off hot with Bad Bunny's Super Bowl performance before the Bourbon runs deep and the debate who throws the most low blows. Also Kyrie Irving to the Pistons trade rumors.

As the second half of their regular season begins, the Rockets are 15-3 at home and 12-13 on the road. But their latest road win, which came Friday at Detroit on night two of a back-to-back, was perhaps their most impressive of the entire 2025-26 campaign.The Rockets (27-16) and Pistons (32-11) remain at No. 4 and No. 1, respectively, in the Western and Eastern Conference standings.Hosted by Ben DuBose and Dave Hardisty, Friday's “ClutchFans Live” postgame show breaks down all the key storylines from that statement victory. Topics include the physical and mental dominance of Kevin Durant; a somewhat underwhelming night on defense from Alperen Sengun; and promising signs from the likes of Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr., and Reed Sheppard.This episode can also be viewed in video form here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKBQOSCDeJk 

The guys take your calls on sibling rivalries you had as kids.

With Rockets G Amen Thompson coming to LCA tonight to face his twin brother Ausar, Stoney (in for Valenti) and Rico have a conversation about their sibling rivalries they had growing up.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for this weekend. Munaf Manji opened the Friday, January 23rd episode of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview by setting the stage for a packed betting discussion heading into the weekend, with Championship Sunday, NFL coaching news, NBA analysis, promotions, and best bets all on the agenda. Dave Essler joined him still frustrated from the previous night's loss tied to Franz Wagner being ruled out late, which caused a sharp line move and turned what looked like a favorable position into a loss from the opening tip. Munaf revisited that game, noting how Charlotte's strong record on the second leg of back to backs was mentioned but ultimately ignored, a decision both agreed was a learning moment. Dave emphasized that no bettor hits one hundred percent and that losses must be studied rather than dismissed. The conversation shifted to NFL news with Munaf breaking down the Baltimore Ravens hiring Jesse Minter as head coach on a five year deal, highlighting his defensive success with the Chargers and his prior time in Baltimore. Dave admitted surprise that the Ravens went defense first, stressing that the offense, particularly Lamar Jackson's durability and passing limitations, remains the bigger question and will hinge on the offensive coordinator hire. Early Ravens win total speculation followed, with ten and a half discussed before schedule context softened some concerns. Attention then turned to Patriots versus Broncos props, where Munaf floated Jared Stidham over 32.5 pass attempts, reasoning New England would force him to throw. Dave countered with Drake May unders if backing the Patriots and strongly endorsed Pat Bryant over 2.5 receptions despite heavy juice, citing Denver's likely pass heavy script and Bryant's role before his prior concussion. Injury notes on Troy Franklin reinforced value on secondary Denver receivers, with both hosts recalling how Bryant's early catches last week were erased by injury. For the NFC matchup, Munaf backed Sam Darnold to throw an interception based on repeated struggles against the Rams and defensive familiarity. Dave added Matthew Stafford under 36.5 yards for longest completion, pointing to Seattle's recent success eliminating explosive plays, while also discussing long shot props like Davante Adams to lead receiving yards. Munaf countered with Stafford passing yard trends in Seattle and suggested live betting opportunities if the Rams trailed, along with Cooper Kupp over 30.5 yards. The show moved into NBA, starting with Rockets versus Pistons, where Munaf highlighted Houston's poor performance on road back to backs, recent defensive collapses, and Detroit's elite defensive rating of 100.1 over the last ten games. Cade Cunningham's status was key, with value tied directly to his availability. Dave warned about rapid line movement tied to injury news and leaned toward Pistons team total overs or split half strategies. Raptors versus Blazers followed, with both noting improved defenses, Portland's back to back trends, and a shared preference for the under. Best bets closed the episode with Dave backing Rutgers as a home underdog against Indiana, citing matchup and motivation, while Munaf laid points with the Phoenix Suns based on their league best ATS record and defensive form, and added Celtics team total over 112.5 against a struggling Nets defense. The episode ended with updated news of Cade Cunningham participating in shootaround, reinforcing earlier Pistons angles, and reminders about discipline, injury monitoring, and adaptability heading into the weekend slate.

Munaf Manji talk betting for Tuesday January 20th Munaf Manji opened the Tuesday edition of Cash That Ticket with a fast paced review of the NBA landscape, blending recent results with betting context and league wide developments. Detroit continued its strong season by edging Boston 104 to 103, cashing an under Manji highlighted before the game. Cade Cunningham delivered a double double with 16 points and 14 assists, while Jalen Brown scored 32 in the loss. The Pistons improved to 31 and 10, strengthened their grip on the top seed in the Eastern Conference, and moved to 18 and 4 at home, reinforcing their profile as a legitimate contender midway through the schedule. Golden State followed with a 135 to 112 win over Miami in a game that featured the pace and scoring Manji anticipated. The Warriors poured in 70 first half points and finished with 247 combined points, easily clearing the total. Stephen Curry posted 19 points and 11 assists, but the night turned somber when Jimmy Butler suffered a torn ACL that will sideline him for the remainder of the season. The injury halted a strong stretch in which Golden State had won four straight and seven of ten, raising immediate questions about roster direction and how the front office may respond with one of its top players facing a long recovery at age 37. Around the league, Phoenix beat Brooklyn 126 to 117, Philadelphia handled Indiana 113 to 104 behind Tyrese Maxey's 29 points, eight assists, and eight steals, and Dallas dominated New York at Madison Square Garden. Oklahoma City delivered a statement performance in Cleveland, winning 136 to 104 after a decisive fourth quarter surge, while Milwaukee edged Atlanta on the road. The episode also covered the announcement of NBA All Star starters. The Western Conference lineup featured Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic, Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Stephen Curry, and Victor Wembanyama. The East was led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Cade Cunningham, Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Brunson, and Jalen Brown. Manji noted the voting breakdown, with fan votes accounting for half the total and players and media splitting the rest, and pointed out that LeBron James will miss an All Star start for the first time since his rookie season. The discussion set the stage for upcoming betting angles and deeper breakdowns later in the week, while keeping focus on actionable information tied directly to current form, injuries, and market performance.
