Host Matt Schoch is running out of steam on this Detroit Pistons team and this season.

The troublesome part is it's not easy to pinpoint the problem or what specifically needs to turn around.

Another loss in Toronto puts the Pistons at 22-21 and just a half-game inside the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Where is this team going? And what did Wednesday's loss tell us about the bigger problems?

Stan Van Gundy's free agent swings and misses - think Leuer, Boban, Langston - get most of the ire of fans when they run down his mistakes as team president.

But Matt Schoch thinks one move was even worse than that, especially with Van Gundy knowing the kind of coach he had working for him (well, he should know that coach very well...)

We also look ahead to the Toronto Raptors and pass along some great commentary from the biggest story from the week in the NBA, the dust up between the Rockets and Clippers on Monday.

The attendance problem for Pistons games has taken center stage of the discussion about Little Caesars Arena this season.

But, as host Matt Schoch remembers with Nathan Bierma of the Detroit Athletic Co. website, The Palace of Auburn Hills also had problems of its own when it debuted.

Matt and Nathan discuss the writer's recent story, "Pistons had to rouse quiet crowds when the opened The Palace."

Matt also looks ahead to Saturday night's game in Chicago and updates Andre Drummond's All-Star Game candidacy.

Andre Drummond continues to boost his All-Star Game candidacy with a historic night in Brooklyn on Wednesday.

Host Matt Schoch talks about how good the Pistons center was while he dismantled the Nets and some surprising stats about how his season is going.

Schoch also addresses the creeping negativity about Pistons fans surrounding this team. Has the Stan Van Gundy era grown stale?

Whatever the reason, fans need to suck it up.

It was only a matter of time but Locked On Pistons has to talk about LaVar Ball as Stan Van Gundy has dipped his toes into the coaches protest of ESPN regarding their coverage of everyone's favorite sports dad.

Detroit also went after Amin Elhassan on Twitter after he went at SVG and then the city of Detroit on his TV and Twitter platforms. It was all in (mostly) good fun and an obvious troll job.

But host Matt Schoch raises the question: Isn't Elhassan personifying his own Ball-type agenda by playing a wrestling heel character against Detroit? Isn't that proving the coaches protest point against his network?
