The Pindown: A Detroit Pistons Podcast

Ep. 8: Free throw woes, defensive disruptiveness, and Greater Morris getting it done

In this week's episode, Inside the Cylinder takes a dive into the state of the Detroit PIstons and the culture of the team.

We pay tribute to Rip Hamilton's retirement ceremony, and revisit the nostalgic good feelings of the Goin' to Work Pistons.

Andre's free throws are once again becoming a major problem. Why did he stop walking back to half court? Are his free throws trending down? We need answers! We take a deeper look.

Are we witnessing a defensive shift in this teams culture? We analyze the what's and who's that have been contributing to the Piston's recent bursts of disruptive defense. We also take a look into Stan Van Gundy's comments regarding his commitment to our current lineup.

And finally, certified-bucket-getter Marcus Morris has turned things around and Inside the Cylinder is very happy about it. How is he doing it and how does it affect the Pistons moving forward?

Jordan Bellant and Ben Gulker get together for a quick rundown on all things related to the Pistons. Starting with the trade deadline, the guys look at how certain moves will affect the playoff picture in the East.

That includes Toronto adding Ibaka, right before they lost Lowry to an injury. It also means discussing the Bulls and their 'on the fly' moves to stay competitive in the East. Looking around the East, the focus turns to teams #6 through #11 in the standings, all with a chance at the playoffs. 

From there, Jordan and Ben discuss the team's first two games since the break. That includes the clutch overtime win against the Hornets and the tough loss to the Boston Celtics. 

Looking ahead, the schedule looks manageable but Ben tells you why that shouldn't make you think it will be "easy."

Ep. 6: The Sixers, Pistons and the NBA with The SuperFlight’s Joe Borelli

In this week’s episode, Inside The Cylinder welcomes The SuperFlight Podcast’s Joe Borelli to the show!

We’re talking the difference between covering a singular team (the Detroit Pistons) and the entire NBA. How does Joe do it? So many teams to watch and games to stay up late for.

Joe, to his core, is a Philadelphia 76ers fan. So we’re asking some Philly related Qs. Should Ben Simmons play this year? Should they shut down Embiid after word of his “minor” knee injury? When can we expect the Sixers to content for the playoffs? And what are Joe’s thoughts on The Process and the Sam Hinkie legacy?

Lastly, you know we’re talking Pistons! ESPN’s Zach Lowe just dropped a major exposé on the current state of DETROIT BASKETBALL, so we’re here to unpack it all. Reggie Jackson clearly has an alpha-dog mentality, but that mentality can rub his teammates the wrong way, and one of ITC’s hosts agrees that it should stop. Also, what’s up with the play calling Stan Van Gundy? This isn’t NCAA ball!

On this episode of Detroit Bad Boys, Jordan Bellant and Ben Gulker are joined by Keith Elliot (@envius023 on Twitter), "a jack of all trades in the entertainment world" and a big time Pistons fan. 

Keith helps put the season into a different light. Starting with the team's dramatic win against the Toronto Raptors, Ben and Keith help to break down the good and the bad. Talking about the game, the focus turns to the factors that led to the comeback win. 

The group debates the merits of Ish Smith deserving more playing time. Also, is there something wrong with Reggie Jackson? Keith offers his thoughts and is ready to pump the brakes on any overreaction to Jackson's struggles. 

From there, the conversation turns to Stan Van Gundy, the rotation, and questioning personnel decisions. Is the team in need of a trade at the deadline? What type of move would benefit the Pistons? 

Next, it's time to talk about Andre Drummond. Is he better than the advanced stats suggest? Ben has a different way to look at the numbers.

Finally, the trio looks at the upcoming schedule and talks about potential playoff matchups for the Pistons.
