Order of the Blazing Horse

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.

The Gameplan or Live Reps?

We're 3 games deep into the preseason and a lot of what we've seen from the Detroit Pistons has provided some answers, but even more questions - not that that's a bad thing! Is this how they're going to play during the regular season or are the Pistons just getting live reps for their young players to build their game for the long run? Is Jaden Ivey okay? What does the offense look like without Cade Cunningham on the floor? Mickey and Harry tackle these questions, as well as any others the chat may have.

Pistons Preseason Overreactor (BMC: Love & Basketball)

2 preseason games down and Cade Cunningham is lettin' y'all know that he's got somethin to say in the MVP race (RIGHT?). Harry and Mickey talk about individual performaces so far and they each take a turn in the OOBH Overreactor, where their takes get juiced up and they have to talk each other back down to reality. They close with a Basketball Movie Club segment talking about an all-time great, Love & Basketball.

Media Day Wut They Say? (BMC: The Sixth Man)

The season is so so close and the media day talk had the Order gleeking. Harry and Mickey go over the lovely little nuggets they dug up from the subtle - and not so subtle - comments made by the players and staff of the Detroit Pistons rolling into the 2025-2026 season. They wrap this episode up with another session of the Basketball Movie Club, going over the Marlon Wayans/Kadeem Hardison classic "The Sixth Man".

4s 2 B Reckoned With (BMC: Rebound: The Legend of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault)

After going over The Ringer's article (written by Michael Pina) suggesting the Pistons trade for Lauri Markkanen, Harry and Mickey weigh the pros and cons of this decision, as well as compare that addition to a potential Keegan Murray swap. They also continue onward with the Basketball Movie Club and discuss the Don Cheadle vehicle "Rebound: The Legend of Earl 'The Goat' Manigault"

The NBA Shuffle & BMC Hustle ft Mike Benner

Mickey and Harry welcome Sixers fan and writer/producer Mike Benner (Destroy All Neighbors, Bob's Burgers, That Lion Show) to the show to talk Eastern Conference Expectations, the state of Philadelphia, and we take a nice long look at Tobias Harris and BBall Paul. They also discuss the Adam Sandler, cameo-heavy, basketball movie club selection "Hustle"

The Preseason Cometh ft Doug Berns (BMC: Eddie)

Mickey and Harry are once again joined by musical genius, basketball obsessive, and all-around great dude, Doug Berns, aka @Duglust, to chat about the upcoming 2025-2026 Season and the state of the Eastern Conference. Then, they dive into the fifth edition of Basketball Movie Club: Eddie.

Beasley Back... But Where? (BMC: He Got Game)

Malik Beasley MAY be cleared? Maybe not???? Rumors are that he's been in talks with the Pistons the whole time, but also that he has interest in teams like the Cavaliers and the Knicks. Is he looking for a prove it deal? Is he looking for as much money as possible? Is he looking for a title run? Harry and Mickey discuss all the possibilities and debate his (and the Pistons') best case scenario. They also talk some moves around the league (Cam Thomas, PJ Washington), the All Star Game, and the Steve Ballmer/Kawhi Leonard scandal - which leads to a little game we call "Sweetening the Pot." Plus, this week's edition of Basketball Movie Club - this time it's the Spike Lee joint "He Got Game".
