The Buck Wins Here: Bucks Beat Pistons

in Detroit Pistons Recaps
Email
PrintWhat Happened:
The Pistons were defeated in spite of a 1-13 performance from Brandon Jennings. Again, the inability to hit from long range cost Detroit, though an uncharacteristic failure to rebound factored in as well.
The Good:
Hamilton and Prince, who had been the subject of no end of trade rumors, stepped up to deliver a mighty offensive performance. They scored 41 of Detroit's 85 points, while playing some very efficient basketball.
The Bad:
Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva managed six points on 2-10 shooting in 38 minutes. Way to earn the contracts, guys.
The David Greenwood Unsung Hero :
Jonas Jerebko had one of his brutally efficient nights, grabbing four rebounds to go with his 12 points, on 6-7 shooting, in just 27 minutes.
The Takeaway:
At what point do we surrender our egos and hope for this team to tank? Now, I say.

I understand the advantage of having a higher draft pick
I just can’t watch a game and hope, in any way, that Detroit loses.

Into Ben Gordon and Chunky Charlie. Excuse me while I vomit.

Losing doesn’t bother me any more. I remember being SO frustrated and angry last season when we were losing games, but now I’ve sort of accepted it. That doesn’t mean I don’t want our players to do well, but if we lose it’s not the end of the world. As long as JJ can keep developing, and hopefully Q can start to give the other rooks more burn, I’ll be happy.

DeJuan Blair only averages 7 and 6?
My god, I thought he was better than that from what I’ve heard ’round hurr.
It might have to do with the fact
That the guy we picked over him is 2.5 and 1.0
by Terrence J. Lynch on Feb 19, 2010 11:55 PM EST up reply actions
That being said, my personal opinion is that neither will be in the league in 4 years.
Not wishing ill-will on Blair, but I could see the lack of ACLs being a problem in a couple seasons, especially with his weight.
by Terrence J. Lynch on Feb 19, 2010 11:56 PM EST up reply actions
280 is OK when you're pushing 7 feet.
At 6’5 or 6’6 and no ACLs, that’s going to become a problem as he plays 82 game seasons.
by Terrence J. Lynch on Feb 19, 2010 11:58 PM EST up reply actions
It's his PER 36
15 & 12.6 that everyone is looking at — and the random outbursts of big games when he gets lots of minutes. Or maybe that the guy we drafted over him isn’t playing at all.
I was calling for Blair at no. 15, but I’m not ready to crucify anyone over it, yet. Daye has potential to be a nice player. Summers just isn’t getting a chance, but I’d rather have Jerebko than Blair, I think.

Actually, that reminds me of a good story.
When I play beer pong, I shoot Tim Duncan style. i.e. I take forever to lineup a shot. So I sat there for like 30 seconds trying to line up my next shot, and the guy across from me yells “What the fuck, man? Hurry up!” And the guy next to him says “Dude’s like Tim Duncan or something.” And i’m like “YES! THANK YOU!” and tried to high-five him from across the table. You know, instead of walking around and high-fiving him. I end up laying out on the table trying to reach, not paying attention to the fact that I knocked all the cups off and the table was tipping.

More Concern
I took a look at the box scores and recaps of all the games played today, and its looking like most of the trades are working out for their teams. I mean.. i know ‘Twan played like shit, but I don’t really care for Bron-Bron anyways, so whatev.
Dallas’s Haywood and Butler seem to be fitting in very well. I can’t imagine K-Mart not working for Houston. And "Twan just had a bad game, he’ll acclimate.
Then Charlotte’s Tyrus Thomas, Milwaukee’s John Salmons, and Washington’s Al Thornton and Josh Howard all played well and helped their respective teams to a W.
Then there’s NY, LAC, SAC who are out in the Bahamas for a few months drinking tequila and wiping their asses with Benjamins. How can that not be a good thing?
Finally there’s us, who are sitting on our asses hoping and waiting for a magical trade.
If there’s nothing more I hate in life, it’s mediocrity. Hey Joe D, “C’mon Man.”
Notice how in a lot of those trades
The teams giving up the players for nothing usually had to give up additional assets? Or got nothing back?
Yeah, I wanted Joe to make a move, but I also didn’t want to give up assets just to move some of our worse contracts. It’s counterproductive.

Expanding My Horizons
About six weeks ago, I scanned through the season stats to see how many times Charlie V, an allegedly unstoppable offensive force, had scored in single figures. The next search will to see how often he and Gordon combined scored less than ten. Good god…
You know, you look at the box score and it doesn’t seem like a six point loss. Outshot the opponent by nearly 25%. 90% from the free throw line. Outrebounded by three, a few more assists and a few more turnovers, but eight blocked shots and the opponent kept well under a hundred points. The Bucks starters outscoring Rip by a combined 38-29 (and then knowing that the other starters had at least a dozen points or rebounds). Yes, this all sounds pretty good.
Darn. If only Jerry Stackhouse’s nineteen minutes hadn’t produced double the points of Gordon and Villanueva in their combined 38. Wonder if that was a factor?
Take out the now freakish 11-12 start and this is easily the second worst team in the NBA. I don’t think anyone saw that coming. Not that bad…
by MrHappyMushroom on Feb 20, 2010 2:45 AM EST reply actions
It doesn't help how little we involve Gordon offensively.
Gordon has less attempts this year then at any point in his career. His per 36 attempts is down to 15.1, lower than any point of his career as well. His PER and TS% are down quit a bit from his career averages as well.
This is also including getting off to that tremendous start when he looked like he was on his way to an All-Star bid.
by Terrence J. Lynch on Feb 20, 2010 4:11 AM EST up reply actions
Was anything I said untrue?
Gordon’s attempts are the lowest of his career.
His PER is down 1.2 from his career and 2.0 from last year.
His TS% is down .017 from his career and .038 from last year.
By all accounts, Gordon is struggling and not producing what he’s capable of. People get on me when I point out Rip’s struggles, yet will completely blast Gordon.
by Terrence J. Lynch on Feb 20, 2010 4:20 AM EST up reply actions
Unless that's about the All-Star bid.
At one point he was averaging 25 points on nearly 50% shooting. If he kept that up, he most definitely would have been an All-Star.

Anyone watching Kentucky/Vandy?
Real physical game.
Vandy’s really going after them and are starting to get in their head. Cousins definitely has some head case in him, but it doesn’t seem as out of control as his reputation would suggest.
I’ve been impressed by Andrew Ogilvy. He hasn’t shied away from banging with Cousins and even screamed in his face after an AND-1. He’s 7 feet and he can put the ball on the floor. DraftExpress has him going late 2nd round. He’d be a good player to take and stash in Europe.
Agree with everyone you just said.
Cousins may be exactly what we want, a tough big guy that plays inside. I think a Cousins, Jerebko frontcourt would work well.
