Order of the Blazing Horse

West Coast Road Trip Preview ft Nate Fridson

The Order welcomes comedian and lifetime Pistons' fan Nate Fridson to the show to talk his feelings on the team. The fellas briefly discuss the games against the Dallas Mavericks, Charlotte Hornets, and Portland Trailblazers, and then preview the rest of their roadtrip against the Sacramento Kings, the Utah Jazz, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the Los Angeles Lakers. They also cover Nate's created holiday, Whiskey Basketball Day, and play a game of Mensch or Bench.

Rested, Still EC's Best, Cade Top 3 MVP?

After spanking the Hawks and overpowering the Celtics, the Pistons have won 6 of their last 7 and keep their lead atop the eastern conference. Mickey and Harry take a look at their upcoming schedule and preview the Detroit/Dallas matchup, asking who's more super, Cade or Cooper? They touch on the development of Jaden Ivey, see if the causes for concerns with Jalen Duren's statistical dip are valid, and close on a pipin hot sesh of Top 1s, ranking the first overall picks of the last decade.

Pistons First Quarter Review ft John Schuhmann

The boys (2 men) are joined by NBA.com's own John Schuhmann to discuss how the Pistons first quarter of the season has gone. They debate the merits of Duncan Robinson in the starting five, and ask is Cade in the MVP race? Is Duren an All-Star? Is Ivey long for the team? Can they keep this going? They also discuss the compression of the rotation. Do you think they'll be buyers or sellers at the deadline? Who knows!

Cade Just Needs Some Space

Duncan Robinson has been out for consecutive games and the spacing is giving shades of '23-24. And while Cade Cunningham is coming off Player of the Month and J.B. Bickerstaff is coming off Coach of the Month honors, the still atop the east Pistons have some glaring holes they need to fix. Who can step up and be the number 2 to #2? Will anyone start hitting threes? Can they stop collapsing at the end of games? Why so many turnovers, dog? And for just a little fun, Mickey and Harry compile the All-Pistons-Killers Squad.

A Lot to be Thankful for in Detroit

Fresh off the Boston/Cup Matchup, Mickey and Harry break down the game, as well as everything Pistons' fans have to be thankful for this season. Screw turkey, we're having ourselves some Thanksgiving CunningHAM! J.B. Bickerstaff is dishing out rotation minutes like they're sweet potatoes, stuffing, and mac n' cheese, and he's making sure everybody eats. But as the holiday season closes, will the big family meals persist, or will there be a lil trimming coming up?

11 Straight for the Nasty Dogs & JenkInsanity

Another week of wins for the Detroit Pistons, who, at 13-2, are tied for their best start in franchise history. They've gone streaking, and they're coming off a massive win in Atlanta against the pre-season-darling Hawks. Harry and Mickey bring back the Overreactor to talk about this team's continued success in the face of all their injuries, the rise of Daniss Jenkins aka JENKINSANITY, and to speculate on the return of Jaden Ivey, who was recently assigned to the Motor City Cruise for his ramp up return to play.

Deeper than Ron Holland II's Voice & in 1st (ft Riverboat Greg)

After three consecutive and escallatingly crazier victories, the Pistons have taken over the Eastern Conference and sit alone in first place. Heck, the only team with a better record in the NBA is the Oklahoma City Thunder. And you know what, the similarities between the two franchises are staggering. Harry and Mickey wax poetic about the performances of Cade Cunningham, Daniss Jenkins, Jalen Duren, Paul Reed, Duncan Robinson, and Caris LeVert. They're not alone on the show to break it down as they're joined by Riverboat Greg (Mike O'Keefe), who allegedly was part of Chauncey Billups' poker crew.

Cade 4Q King + Center Play Dominance

Fresh on the heels of a 4 game win streak, Harry and Mickey are pleased as punch with the Pistons' young core. Whether it's Cade Cunningham devouring teams in the 4th quarter, or Jalen Duren and Isaiah Stewart putting up 20+ point, 10+ rebound games, or the overall disruption of Ausar Thompson and Ronald Holland II, there's a lot to like in the D. Detroit is sittin' pretty as the 2nd seed in the Eastern Conference, with a fairly favorable looking schedule through the rest of Novemember, and the fellas at the Order tackle whether the Pistons should hold steady and keep the development going, or really make a push to make some noise and make a run at the Eastern title.

Starting Slow, Shooting Woes, Winning, tho

Can we get a good first quarter, please? Mickey and Harry break down the performance of the team through the first 5 games, covering the struggles the Pistons have putting the ball through the basket, the defensive lapses from the new guys, and discuss just what this team needs to fix what ails em. It ain't all bad, though, as the team is 3-2, including a bounce back beatdown of the Orlando Magic after getting embarrassed two nights earlier by the Cleveland Cavaliers. Plus, the Order consults a Ouija board to inform us of what lies ahead.

Season Opener: The Vet Letdown

The season is up and off to a, well, underwhelming start. The Pistons dropped their season opener in Chicago against the Bulls, and while there are a couple things to like, Mickey and Harry have their concerns. Is it too early? We'll answer that with a segment of Real Beef or Nothing Burger.
