Game Tips at 10:30 pm ET
Detroit Pistons: 21-36 (7-20 road)
Denver Nuggets: 38-19 (24-5 home)
Oppo Research
My wife is a Green Bay Packers fan. I also hate the Vikings and their crappy, bandwagon-cruising fanbase. As such, I'm kind of a Packer fan by proxy.
Each year, then, there comes a point, when the Lions are theoretically, if not mathematically, eliminated from the playoffs, at which I make a sort of conversion. At this point, the Packers represent the best hope for my family's happiness. In short, when the Lions play the Packers, I go Pack, at least passively.
Which brings me to Denver. After Joe D. traded away our best player for a very hostile bag of beans, I sorta adopted the Nuggets as my Packers. Seemed like a safe move, what with them all the way over in the Western Conference. It's not like they are the Spurs or Lakers. Besides, Denver deserves a shot at the gold.
So what of tonight? A Piston win would be a moral victory, at best, and reduce their draft standing, at worst. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are battling to preserve the two seed. I won't say it, but you know what I'm getting at...
Keys for Detroit
Watch Spellcheck-- The Pistons have the size to throw at Chauncey Billups, and the agility to man up on Carmelo. But Afflalo has quietly become a devastatingly efficient three-point shooter. All it takes is for him to knock down three, and Denver's odds of winning elevate substantially.
Make free throws -- Seriously, what the hell happened on Wednesday?
Keep it up - Kind of a dumb key to winning, but relevant at high altitudes. Detroit is essentially on a three game winning streak heading into this one (if free throws average out, the Pistons run away with it). I could easily see Detroit holding a nice lead for three quarters and giving it up.
Question of the Game
What's up with the Ben Gordon goose eggs? He has had one or fewer field goals in seven games this season. That's ridiculous.

Almost double-triple-double
Wilt is the only player in NBA history have done that. 19 points, 17 assists, 16 rebounds is probably the closest any one else has gotten in decades. My bet is the Dream was the last to put up those numbers (I don’t think Tim Duncan would get all the assists considering he’s always had two playmakers on his team).

I think I'm going to do something on what the hell happened to our three point shooting.
I mean, career 36.8% Tayshaun Prince is shooting 30.0% for the season.
Rip’s career? 34.3%. Rip this year? 27.0%.
And everyone knows about Gordon’s struggles.
DaJuan Summers is our best three point shooter at 38.1%.
So why exactly have these players gotten so much worse at shooting the three ball?

Honestly
Stuckey is the last of the Pistons’ current problems. He’s become a solid NBA player. May not become a star, which could be a big problem in the future, but he is certainly not the cause of the epic losing

I get the feeling Q doesn’t know how to properly utilize some of these guys. I mean look at BG. DelNegro can find a role for him and Q can’t? I think it’s a matter of getting familiar with the players, but I’m afraid it won’t happen until next year.
Yeah, Gordon is definitely better than he's playing
The last two months, however, Gordon is only averaging 9 shots a game. Gordon needs to take more than that get a rhythm and get involved more.

His minutes are limited by his effectiveness,
and his effectiveness is limited by his minutes. Vicious circle. They should just give him 30-40 minutes every couple of games so he can get cooking. Just keep the ball out of his hands unless he’s actually shooting the ball. He needs a true distributor next to him to be effective.

Stuckey is incredibly inefficient, and that's my biggest knock against him.
I don’t care if he has a three point shot, but he really needs to finish better to become a good player.

It's circular
Lack of 3 point shooting hurts Stuckey. Lack of Stuckey’s consistency allows teams to spread the floor.

Enough zone already!
I’m really getting annoyed that Qstar is employing a zone the entire game. Zones should be used sparingly or against teams like GS/Phoenix that get a lot of penetration. Denver has too many good 3 point shooters to use a zone full time. Especially Chauncey, Stuck can easily guard him one on one but he can’t recover on the zone rotations

No mass substitutions. You don’t need 4 bench players in the game at the same time. Bring in two (Daye and Villanueva) while keeping in 3. Then when you get ready to move Stuckey and Rip to the bench, bring back at least one starter.
We don’t need all 5 bench players at the same time.

We’re going to start the 4th with Bynum/Gordon/Daye or Prince/Villanueva/Maxiell. At which point they make a run us because they’re not stupid enough to put their entire bench in to start the 4th.

The problem is that Gordon isn't allowed any room for error right now.

But in the past, Rip has been a very, very good defender. You keep making declarative statements, but don’t have evidence or logic to back it up.

Just going off my observations not any stats
But from watching this season (and I understand that it is a small sample size for Gordon) compared to seasons past, Rip is a far more capable defender within our system.
Gordon is new however so without a doubt he will improve, I just think as of right now, Gordon turns his head more and gets lost on screens more than Rip.
insert aussie stereotype here
Unfortunately
Rip allows players to regularly blow by him, at which point he just reaches around and fouls him. Rip’s getting slower and losing his ability to stay in front out his defender. This is based on my observations.
by Terrence J. Lynch on Feb 26, 2010 11:44 PM EST up reply actions
So does Will Bynum
I don’t see you getting on his balls.

Also, if they’re equal defenders, why is Gordon better?

Rip doesn't need explosiveness
His game is purely built around outworking his opponent; it’ll last as long as he can still run.
Also defense is primarily about effort, followed by size. Rip has Gordon beat in both those respects

I can completely see where you are coming from
But wasn’t that the reason we moved Chauncey? A pre-emptive strike against his inevitable decline that has in one fell swoop started our plummet to the bottom of the EC.
I still have some bitterness regarding that move. I was on record as saying (as best my memory serves) we should have traded Rip rather than Chauncey.

My only problem with the Chauncey trade was that we kept the other vets.
They should have been disposed as a whole and start anew. If Joe wanted to keep veteran presence, then he got who to keep backwards.
Where in the world is Cheikh Samb?
Joe made the wrong move for sure
Sheed should have gone. Rip too if he netted us something really decent (Boozer). The rest still had plenty of life and we could have rebuilt on the fly rather than crashing and burning with MCIAFI.
insert aussie stereotype here
Pistonpowered offers some reasoning
Feldman said that the main reason for trading Sheed is that the Pistons would have gotten pennies on the dollar due to his temper and potential chemistry disruption. No contender would have given up more than pennies on the dollar, and no team in their right mind would want to build around him.

As I would have been fine with letting Rip expire this season. But right now this is a economically tied down mediocre team attempting to play the style of a team long gone, with a staff not fit for it.
Where in the world is Cheikh Samb?
This is where Dumars and Kuester have failed.
Dumars built a team that, while not good defensively and inconsistent, it could have been a fun run-and-gun style team. A Phoenix-Lite if you will. Not completely devoid of defense like GSW or Phoenix but definitely not playing for it.
And yet, still, half-court, plodding style. Why? Why? Why?

Completely agree
And right now there seems to be a battle for the team’s soul.
You can see it in comments like Stuckey’s “We’re going to run more and you can go fuck yourself if you don’t want to do it” vs. What we’re actually seeing on court (walk the ball up, half-court, slowest pace in the league).

I think we ran like 5-6 post-ups for Maxiell.
And, go figure, he was pretty effective.

I remember CV doing two things tonight:
1) Getting blocked under the rim on the inbounds play by the Birdman.
2) Hitting that really weird, really awkward pull-up jumper near the foul line as time was winding down on the clock.

A Major Moral Victory!!!!
Not only did Villanueva combine for double digits, but in their 42 minutes, they outscored Joey Graham (in his 21 minutes) by a full point! Granted, neither plays a lot of defense, but with offensive production like that—surpassing Joey Graham for only $18 million a year, these signings are looking better and better!

was listening to 4th quarter on the way home from work
did we have like 6 turnovers in the final 4 minutes? sure would be nice if we had a point guard who could actually dribble the ball. perhaps we could use a player who could hit clutch shots as well. maybe a player who could play d without fouling on every play in the last 2 minutes. did the nuggets actually score a basket in the last 4 minutes that wasnt a free throw? kinda disgusting and i was just listening to it, i can only imagine what it looked like.
