Thunder Vs Pistons — The Pindown I The East Runs Through Detroit
Thunder Vs Pistons appears here as part of this week’s roundup, but the latest Pindown episode focuses squarely on Detroit: the Pistons steamrolled the New York Knicks for the third time this season, in a game where the Knicks were healthy and the Pistons were not. Hosts Wes and Blake recorded right after that beatdown, applauded the NBA All-Star game’s new format, and used the moment to parse what Detroit’s current stretch means for the postseason picture.

The Pindown I The East Runs Through Detroit
The Pindown hosts framed a central claim bluntly: the East runs through Detroit. That claim served as the spine of a conversation that began moments after the Pistons’ emphatic win over New York. The hosts noted the contrast in availability—New York arrived healthy, Detroit did not—and still the Pistons produced a decisive result.
Detroit Pistons: Everything You Need To Know
That episode doubled as a catch-all for Pistons storylines. Key topics included whether the recent performance might elevate Cade into MVP conversation, another standout defensive showing from Ausar Thompson and how his defensive value could translate in the playoffs, and broader questions about roster and identity raised by head coach JB Bickerstaff.
Player and roster questions highlighted on the show
The hosts raised several direct questions about personnel and postseason readiness: Was this Cade’s best game of his career, and should he truly be in the MVP conversation this year? How valuable will Ausar Thompson be as a defensive weapon come playoff time? Who represents Detroit’s biggest playoff threat? Will Ron Holland maintain his rotation spot in the playoffs? How unique is the Pistons’ identity that JB Bickerstaff alludes to?
Trades, deadline talk and supporting pieces
The episode covered topics beyond the single blowout: discussions included All-Star weekend and its new format, Paul Reed, the trade deadline, and why the Pistons traded Jaden Ivey. The hosts examined how a new piece—Kevin Huerter—fits within the roster framework and what those moves imply for Detroit’s outlook.
