In this latest episode of The Detroit News' Pistons podcast, beat reporter Coty Davis and Detroit News contributor Tarohn Finley discuss the team's title aspirations with NBC broadcaster Noah Eagle.

Eagle, the son of legendary broadcaster Ian Eagle, is a play-by-play voice for NBC's return to NBA coverage this year.

He talked about the team's 21-5 start, the Bad Boys' identity, J.B. Bickerstaff's influence and the need for another three-point shooter.

"I just feel if you could add one more sniper, it just gives you a little bit more insurance when others guys aren't making shots, you can bring someone off the bench," Eagle said on the podcast.

"Oklahoma City last year was a little bit different the way they play, but they still have snipers. Isaiah Joe is a guy who can come in and make five 3's and you look back up and say, 'What happened?'

"If I'm looking at this team (Pistons), if they could add more guy they can rely on to be a 40-plus percent, three-point shooter, it just gives them a little more insurance down the stretch."

"As we sit here doing this podcast, I would be a little surprised at this point if they didn't make the playoffs," Kulfan said. "This has been about as good as they've played in years, quite honestly. The one thing which really stood out during this four-game road trip, you kind of expected them to win during points in these games."

"It is a great story," Kulfan said on the podcast. "You need these type of stories throughout the course of a long season. I think the team really embraced it last night. He's kind of an everyman Joe. He's 31 years old, a career minor leaguer from the area, from Pinckney and went to play at Northern (Michigan). He's stayed in Grand Rapids since 2016 because he wants to build a base for his family."
