Pistons vs. Pacers: The Return Of The Chunky One
by tads on Dec 31, 2011 1:02 PM EST
Email
PrintBuckle up Pistons fans, we are headed towards new depths of futility. Tonight's game could mean the worst record in the league, Lawrence Franks' 21st consecutive loss as a head coach, and the worst start for our franchise since 1999 (not counting last year). The 1999 team would rebound and finish 42-40 with the help of their bald-headed, over-weight, three-point shooting big man, Terry Mills. The current team brings back welcomes their Terry Mills equivalent, Charlie Villanueva, back from suspension. CV31's return to the Pistons, and how well he's adopted Frank's defensive lessons, will be the deciding factor in this game. Certainly a more confident Brandon Knight, a sharper shooting Ben Gordon, and Greg Monroe's high post magic will be important tonight, but victory rests largely in Charlie's crumb covered hands.
Game Time: 6:00
Indiana Pacers: 3 - 0 at Detroit Pistons: 0 - 3
The Situation
Frank Vogel and his Pacers are on a mission this year and this party starts in the front court. Georgetown big Roy Hibbert anchors a the rotation that includes former all star David West, mildly over-rated Danny Granger, and features Psycho-T coming off the bench. The last time we played West, Hibbert, and Tyler Hansbrough combined for 39 rebounds...so yeah there's that (one less than our whole team). In the back court, 2nd year player Paul George grew two inches over the summer giving the Pacers a large set of wings, with Danny Granger. The Pacers shocked many last year when their stiffling defense gave the Bulls serious problems during last years playoffs. This years version of the Indianapolis team is likely the 5th best team in the conference and could look to make a deep playoff run this spring.
Keys To The Game
To be at all optimistic about this game the Pistons need to drink some Charlie V Koolaid. As a Pistons fan, asking you to get excited about Charlie V is as foreign as asking Charlie V to get excited about a vegetable tray, but this time it's different!
- We really need bench scoring - Excluding Brandon Knight, our bench has combined for 12.3 points per game. With such paltry bench production, CV scoring points in bunches will certainly be "impactful"
- He will play down low - Have you noticed that Daye is not playing the 4? Frank knows that he's best used on the perimeter. Likewise, I assume CV will be posting up more since he is effective down there.
- He will be aggressive - The last regular season game he played he was so riled up he got kicked out. Because Charlie knows that if he is going to do anything in this league it starts inside, and playing with some pride. This one is kind of a stretch (since he played awful in preseason and couldn't start for the Dominican National team this summer), but I'm sure we all would happy if he took more players to the loading docks.
If these things don't happen at least the Pistons can have more fouls to throw at the Pacers front line, to prevent Monroe from getting in foul trouble like last game. Also, Charlie V provides another shooter for Monroe or Knight to feed.
Other Keys To The Game
- Defend three point shooters,
- Box out down low and crash the boards from the perimeter
- Give Monroe the ball every possession
- Get Stuckey in the post
Question Of The Game
Can the Pistons neutralize the Pacers front court?

Speaking of Terry Mills
My wife went to U of M when he was there, and actually took a class with him called “Theory of Basketball.” As she remembers it, she repeatedly told him to stop taking so many 3-point shots because big guys should play in the post. True story.
As to tonight, I actually think CV will make things sufficiently better that — in our best showing of the year — we will lose by single digits instead of double digits. I’m fired up!
I’m hoping CV and Damien Wilkins take all of Maxiell and Daye’s minutes. As far as I’m concerned, aside from injuries or extreme foul trouble, there aren’t any legitimate reasons toward letting either of the latter two guys step on the floor.
Probably an extremity with gangrene that would need to be amputated anyway.
RE: Wilkins. If he sucks they might as well have given those minutes to Daye to continue sucking, but with a (small?) chance that he will improve. And if Wilkins doesn’t suck and actually helps the Pistons squeak out a couple extra wins, that would be even worse for the long term health of the team if it pushes down the lottery odds. Lose-lose.
But doesn't the small chance of Daye improving
also hurt our lottery odds? So that’s more like lose-lose-still-could-lose.
Daye is young and probably going to be on the Pistons for another couple years at least, possibly more. Wilkins is old and in all likelihood this will be his only season playing for the Pistons. There’s no reward for Wilkins playing well, but if Daye improves then the Pistons will have another decent player in the rotation.
I really wish Frank had stuck with his pre-season rotation with Daye at SG. That seems more and more like his natural position.
I don't see things changing for Daye any time soon
He’s still too weak, and gets pushed around by even the 2-guards he tries to post up. Regardless of how talented he might be, the moment he goes up against NBA players the size/athleticism just seems to overwhelm him
Without a doubt, squats are a cure for everything.

Damien hasn't looked too bad
In all honesty I’d rather him start over Tay. He keeps the ball moving more and has good size/athleticism for the position
Without a doubt, squats are a cure for everything.
by bearded thundar on Dec 31, 2011 5:25 PM EST up reply actions
?
D-Wilk has not looked anything but barely capable of filling a couple minutes if your rotation is as bad as the Pistons. Dude is just not good. At all.
He seems to work hard and doesn't take many shots
Rather have that over Tay right now
Without a doubt, squats are a cure for everything.
by bearded thundar on Dec 31, 2011 6:05 PM EST up reply actions
Well sure
but those shots he does take don’t come anywhere near the basket. He doesn’t really seem to play defense, pass the ball to the correct team, not dribble off his own bodyt, or really do anything at all usefull. Other than that, he’s great.
I haven’t paid very close attention to him to be honest, just a few glances here and there. I just really don’t want either Tay or Daye in there

Speaking of Lawrence Frank
last night’s loss was actually his 20th consecutive loss as a head coach. He lost the Nets season ender the year before going 0-16
Who will be the first detroitbadboy contributer
who writes the game preview for the first Piston win of the season?
One nice thing about the compacted schedule this year
We have less time to bitch over the last loss before the next game.
Of course, the downside is we will have more losses to bitch about in a shorter period of time.
Wow Pacers are 3-0?
I think we could get lucky and get a W here. Still think we’re going to struggle to even get 20 wins this season though. I’m gonna miss having CV get 0 minutes :(

Also, after JJ, who is better at the 4 (not counting Moose, who should be a 4)?
Daye? Maxiell? They are actually worse.
I still don't like JJ at the 4
He’s averaging under 6 boards in 30 minutes of play. That’s a major reason why we keep losing the board battles. In all reality CV might be a better rebounder at the position; he did a pretty solid job by all means in Milwaukee

Moose isn't a bad 5 by all means
The splits show him averaging the same shooting percentage and rebounding efficiency at both positions. I don’t have a stat for the defensive side, but he did a pretty good job on Howard

my pleasure
their broadband service has become really solid, to the point that I didn’t order DirecTV just so I could use league pass this year. It’s still pricey, but worth it if you aren’t in the Detroit area.
It just burns me up to notice that Stuckey rarely looks to dump off a pass to a big while driving to the basket. Moose was down there standing alone and Stuck doesn’t see him.
I don't watch many Pistons games
but it seems Jerebko is a wise option, go to him more often!

i havent seen the spurs yet
but i here Splitter is looking much better so far. what do you think SFSteve? is he a legit big? he was kinda shaky last year.
follow me on twitter: @danieldresden
Small sample size…but yeah. I think he could start at the 4 or 5 for a lot of teams. Offensively, his game is not very pretty, but his defensive instincts are incredible. He’s also impressed me with his ability to block shots- something he almost never did last year. He knows when to go for the block and when to take the charge, and he’s good at doing both. He’s no Tim Duncan, but I’d rank him as an above average role player.
I’d compare him to a slightly less energetic Joakim Noah- but I don’t mean less energetic in a bad way. Noah, to me, doesn’t have much smoothness to his game. Splitter is smooth. He’s also not quite as good of a rebounder as Noah, but he’s been getting better.

How’s the rookie you traded George Hill for?
by garrettelliott on Jan 2, 2012 1:40 PM EST up reply actions
Solid. Right now he’s mostly a hustle guy, but he’s got all the potential to be at worst a 6th man and at best a solid starting role player for a contender. He’s got a good feel for where he needs to be, and while his defense isn’t in the same league as Luc Richard Mbah a Moute, he’s already a solid one on one defender. He can shoot off the dribble but has some trouble when he has to catch and shoot. I think he’ll learn, though.

(i’m actually very excited about him. Between him and Danny Green, we’ve got several possibilities for “elite wing defenders”)

Nice. As important as Hill has been for your team I though that was a sly trade on draft night.

Charlie V is active but he is injured. Langlois tweeted about it.

Greg Monroe won't get a rebound for that.
But he damn well should have for saving that.

For some reason I feel like playing Skyrim now.
Might make a Nord and call him Jonas.

I made a character that looked like Russell Crowe.
So I named him Maximus.

He was fouled
Not to put to fine a point on it, but even scrubs seem to have the ability to foul Stuckey with impunity.
That was the first in a long time I saw taysaun provide a veteran presence

tads wins worst prediction of the year award.
At one point we were 70% from the 3, but then brandon knight threw up 2 clunkers.
Jonas Jerebko willed us to win this game. thanks swede.
Moose was also great and Stuckey restricted being awful to the final 5 minutes.

This win felt great
Awesome way to finish it.
I’m sure no one is happier to get that win out of the way than Frank.
WWGMD?
that would be the ideal one
Does Frank go with that one for the rest of the year?
By the power of Grayskull... I have the power!
I hope so
