Pistons at Bucks: pregnant Pistons reach for a Milwaukee's Best

PrintDetroit Pistons at Milwaukee Bucks, Jan 12, 2012 8:00 PM EST
About this Pistons team, head coach Lawrence Frank recently said, "Everyone wants a baby, but few people want to go through the pregnancy. This is going to be hard." I don't think its healthy to hang out in the beer capitol of the world when you're pregnant, Larry. Just sayin'. Also, who's the father?
Game Tips at 8:00 P.M. EST
Detroit Pistons: 2 - 8 (0 - 4 away)
Milwaukee Bucks: 3 - 6 (3 - 0 home)
The Situation:
It's not surprising that Milwaukee is capable of .500 basketball when Andrew Bogut is suited up. That's pretty much always been the case, as it still is today. The Bucks are 3-2 with Bogut, starting this abbreviated season with an undefeated home record. Beyond Bogut, however, the rest of this roster is kind-of-a-mess. They've got a point guard who doesn't pass and can't shoot, and the rest of the squad is made up of wannabe sixth men. I can't imagine how it feels to root for a team like that...
The Bucks' are getting solid production from vets like Carlos Delphino and Drew Gooden while rookies Jon Leuer and Tobias Harris are contributing as well. Delphino is hitting at 43% from outside, Gooden is crashing the boards, Leuer is hustling (every day) and Harris is scoring at an admirable rate. There are things to feel good about in Milwaukee, and I wish we could say the same in Detroit.
Injury Update - the Pistons will still be without Rodney Stuckey (groin) and Charlie Villanueva (ankle). Combo dog Mosa T. Aloysius P. McFluffyStuff Burns will also miss tonight's game, getting stitches removed from his right eye (h/t brgulker).
Injury Update II - Stuckey is going to give it a go. He will come off the bench.
Fun with Numbers:
As Packey pointed out this morning, the Pistons are "30th in points per game, 30th in turnover rate, 30th in efficiency, 30th in win shares, 30th in PER, 27th in pace, 26th in field goal and opposing field goal percentage, 26th in true shooting percentage". Which players are responsible for all of this suck? Which players have the most negative impact on court?
Will Bynum, Tayshaun Prince, Brandon Knight and Austin Daye are the worst offenders when it comes to wins and losses. Collectively, in 100 possessions, these players score 77 points while giving up 109 on the other end. They turn the ball over 18% of the time, a number that trumps how often they pass the ball. While these players are guilty of some horrible crimes on court, only one Piston player is registering a positive offensive/defensive rating margin in 2011-12. It should be a shock to no one that Greg Monroe is scoring 116 points per 100 possessions while giving up only 108.
Keys to the Game:
Defend those free throws - the Pistons are last in the league in a lotta things, and free throw defense is one of them. Detroit is allowing a league high 79.9% at the charity stripe, a statistic led by the Golden State Warriors who allow only 67.1%. Get your act together, Detroit.
Feed the Moose - Ben Gordon, Will Bynum, Brandon Knight and Austin Daye are taking more shots per minute than Greg Monroe. Stop this, Larry Frank. Also, Greg, when you get the ball, I'd much prefer you pass it instead of taking a contested jumper. (which means I want to see the rest of you moving without the ball)
Pass the round thing and try not to drop it - Detroit is one of the league's worst passing teams as well as one of its most turnover prone. The team won two games when it was passing well and cleaning the glass, so it'd be nice to see those things happen again tonight. Bonus points go to players who are moving without the ball and find an open spot on the perimeter, because this Bucks team is not good at defending 3-point shots.
Question of the Game:
Would Joe Dumars feel hungry or nostalgic if he heard the phrase "Hammond Sandwich"?

Dude
I literally have to drive 40 minutes round trip to watch the games. I think im a sadist but fool myself into believing somehow were really a good team who is under preforming and that THIS is the game we turn it around. The definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, that and it gives me an excuse to get drunk.
"Also, who's the father?"
I don’t know but he can’t be the best looking bloke with the ugliness on court. He should have used a contraceptive.
This is what im going to watch today
Will Bynum, Brandon Knight and Austin Daye are taking more shots per minute than Greg Monroe. Stop this, Larry Frank. Also, Greg, when you get the ball, I’d much prefer you pass it instead of taking a contested jumper. (which means I want to see the rest of you moving without the ball)
And every damn game. I left out Ben Gordon since I believe he should be taking more shots, not less. Im sure MFMP made a mistake and hell be grateful I corrected it for him.
I don't know if I'd agree with that...
Pass the ball to a man cutting to the basket? Yes.
Pass the ball to one of the afore-mentioned guards so they can shoot a contested jumper? No thanks.
I’ll take Monroe’s 15 foot jumper with smart upfakes over any Austin Daye jumpshot.

if that results in more shots idk. But I think it’ll result in less bad shots by other players.

it’s only $99 for about 63 games (not counting market and national tv games), which comes out to be $1.57/game which is far better than paying a shit load for cable tv.
Agreed on that
I don’t have cable for that reason too – much more cost-effective to pay for what you want, IMO. I do MLB.tv and Prime.
it just shows
that even the production staff is not paying attention to the pistons anymore quite sad really.
Bucks announcers are insightful
They say the greatest strength of the Pistons is making other teams complacent. I can’t argue with that.
I almost feel like crying.
It reminds me of what I’ve been told every time I was rejected for a date.

He’s still not getting teammates involved when making drives to the basket, but he’s shooting better and doing a better job of taking care of the basketball.
No more impressive than Stuckey was his rookie season as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed.
And he can shoot the ball. If Stuckey had a three point game, he’d potentially be a star. Imagine his strength and ability to get to the rim if someone had to guard him outside of fifteen feet.

With his veteran leadership and knowledge, he just knows that if he doesn’t shoot it one of the other, lesser players will. And he wants to make sure he’s shooting in rhythm, and not catching a bad pass from another, lesser player, which would force him to take a bad shot. That’s when things just get frustrating, man.

I’m curious if Wilt actually slept with more women than Magic. Magic was insanely prolific in his sexual adventures. I know Wilt set the bar pretty high in that world. I would honestly think that the only reason Wilt might have bigger numbers is because Magic’s HIV became publicly known.

Both Magic’s marital status and HIV+ status somehow didn’t impact his batting average as much as you might think.

was a strip club junkie, a regular at 20/20 in Century City (a long defunct topless bar, formerly the Playboy Club), and as surly off camera as he is bubbly on camera (although in recent years, more of the true Magic persona has come out when working as a commentator).

Terrible fast break by Knight. It looked like he had options to make a nice play but he turned it over, leading to a Bucks break and a Monroe foul (that didn’t really look like a foul). Booooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
it ended badly.
but he had the right idea. That’s a play that Stuckey just shoots. The difference that I see between the two of them is that Knight seems willing to improve his decision making v. just saying he will.

I don't think he understands his game very well.
he’s more of a catch shoot type player leaning more towards spot up shooting in my opinion. He seems to spend a lot of time attempting to shoot off the dribble. He kills his own effectiveness.

I guess we’re just pointing out that your perception differs from the result. While it may seem that his activity has reduced, his numbers have gone up.
Perhaps, it can be chalked up to his effectivity. His physical activity has a precise use. Rather than engage useless movement.

Does anyone remember the thunderous lob dunk
in the NCAA game against (I think) Temple. Probably Elite Eight. Michigan had been down and had just taken the lead and this dunk—so loud and forceful that I have a mental image of the camera shaking—put the knife in Temple.
It’s weird what we remember, isn’t it? And it’s quite possible that this never happened, or was quite different from what I recall.

I was thinking this exactly last night.
If I’m him, there’s no way I’m sticking it out in Detroit with the current mess of a roster we have and will have for at least one more season.
The only hope we have is to make this a really excellent draft, then amnesty Gordon or CV, then add something useful via free agency.
It can’t be multiple choice. It has to be all of those things.
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
Exactly, and even then
We’re probably a .500 team at best. With all three of those things happening (and working out as well as they realistically could).
Very few rookies bolt before they Re-up as long as the team wants to MAX them
in fact does anyone know any?
if a team wants to keep you
they can. just gotta pay up. and i thought the new CBA had ridiculous clauses in it such as an all-star game or two or three makes you eligible for separate payscale tiers, so in a sense maybe we should be hoping monroe stays under the radar and doesn’t make the all-star team.

Tayshaun Prince +/-
I think Tayshaun Prince must be dead last in the NBA in +/-. He was -123 before tonight and he’s -13 against the Bucks last time I checked. What the heck is going on with Prince?
I hate +/-
Tay was 19 tonight but Monroe was -9. The only Piston with a decent +/ was Wilkins, who was 0-2 with 1 rebound, no assists, 2 TOs, and 2 total points. But he was +10.
It makes sense though
Wilkins was on the court during our run in place of Tay. Notice that 10-19 not coincidentally = -9

+/-
I don’t think +/- is perfect but it’s a decent tool to judge within your own team where runs are being made. The Pistons fall more behind with Tay on the court than they do with any other player. Kevin Durant had a bad +/- a few years ago that was deceptive because he was carrying a huge load on a bad team. Prince’s chief virtues are supposed to be his savvy and defense, both of which should show up in +/-.
Monroe, BG, and Prince all played 35+ minutes tonight. Monroe was -9, Gordon was -8, Prince was -19. Why are the Pistons worse with Prince on the court? Is it a statistical fluke or is Prince just that much worse than other options?
I'm a stat nerd
and I still can’t figure out what +/- says about anything. I really don’t think it has any value whatsoever. maybe at the end of an entire season if you want to take a look and see ridiculous outliers that might stand out that’s about it.
by mcflies on Jan 12, 2012 11:49 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
Prince
its clear given those stats that he didn’t share the same minutes as Gordon and Monroe. So who did he play with when they weren’t on the court? If he played the same minutes as Monroe what would the effect be on Monroe’s +/-? Maybe it wasn’t Prince and it was the players he shared the court with. Don’t get me wrong Prince blows, but to use +/- to prove it is pointless because it has too many factors to be reliable.
by mcflies on Jan 12, 2012 11:54 PM EST via Android app up reply actions
Prince and statistics
I don’t think +/- is as meaningless as it’s being made out. Various adjusted +/- is used by many teams to judge talent and it’s some version of +/- is largely why Chuck Hayes stays in the NBA. Prince is supposed to be a versatile SF who can facilitate the offense, play good D. Plus/minus should effect him least of all if you believe his reputation.
You need a mix of talents to win basketball games. Nobody really knows the mix in any given moment. Is it 5 players that play well together like the last Pistons champion? Is it a guard and center like Kobe and Shaq? Is it Pippen, Jordan and Rodman? And Horace Grant? Like I said, nobody really knows and you can try to win any number of ways. However you do it, the end result means you score more points than the opposition. +/- is a crude tool to measure who is on the court when you are scoring more or less than the opposition. In
What advanced stats should I be looking at to see if Prince is playing defense? One-sixth of the season is over. How big does the sample size have to be before it’s realistic to point to trends and make adjustments?
Here’s the problem with +/- when you compare it to box score based stats: Let’s say I’m the coach of a team and one of my players has a crappy +/-, what do I tell that player? How do I know what he needs to improve to become a more productive player according to +/-?
RE: Adjusted +/-, even according to its creators and biggest proponents it takes several years of data on a player until it becomes meaningful.
I don't even remember what it means to be honest.
I used to know, then it just seemed stupid to me, so I stopped caring.
Prince all season
I’m not trying to kill Prince for one game, just trying to figure out what kind of sample is meaningful. 11 games? 33 games? 103 games? In a small sample, no player has fallen farther behind than the opposition than Prince this year.
Based on subjective measures I think Prince is about the 7th or 8th best Piston this year yet he’s playing the most minutes. I’m trying to find some objectivity to confirm my assessment.
Win Shares and Wins Produced
both have Tay well into the negative range. Both of those are more reliable than +/- IMO.
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
Prince is supposed to be a versatile SF who can facilitate the offense, play good D. Plus/minus should effect him least of all if you believe his reputation.
Especially since he has had an excellent +/- since they started touting the metric. It’s one of those tools that supposedly values intangibles, something Tay is supposed to be the master of.
moral victory!

one trade concept I'd consider
on draft day: Jared Sullinger and Rodney Stuckey for Josh Smith and Atlanta’s first round pick. Atlanta is losing Hinrich this season, Sullinger could swap with Smith and Stuckey and Teague can man the starting point and sixth man roles in ATL’s backcourt.
this is, of course, if Davis is off the board. I’m not into Drummond. He’s a big boy against little schools, but his balls shrink the moment he has solid NCAA competition, let alone NBA-caliber competition.
I didn’t pay attention to Kwame in college, so I don’t follow the comparison, but if he did what Drummond has done so far, yes— let’s put a red flag on Drummond until further notice.
Kwame didn't play in college?

When you're as bad as us
a .333 team looks like the World Champs
We have our man. It's Stafford. It's Suh. It's Calvin. It's Delmas. What we need is Man Number Two to stand up.

i think my irrational hatred for 4/5 of this team is making me unable to appreciate the good things they do
im happy moose came up big but i fucking hate tayshaun and im sick of stuckey. it makes it hard to appreciate the positives.

To be fair, Dan,
Stuckey is a decent player. He doesn’t turn the ball over is our best perimeter defender and gets to the line. He’s not a great shooter and doesn’t shoot for a high percentage. But I don’t have a doubt that he could play a valuable role on a good team. Signing him for his 26th, 27th, and 28th years is okay to me.
Signing Tay for years 31, 32, 33, and 34 is insane. Based on his LAST four years, this contract would have been okay, but not a particularly great deal. But to project this into the future is one of the dumbest basketball moves I’ve seen. Frankly, I see the Tay signing as worse the Gordon or Charlie. At least that was a team that we’d hoped could be competitive and if both played to max potential, they could have helped the team. But Tay was signed long term to a 20-30 win (full season) team and it’s hard to imagine any scenario in which he would be a useful part of a 50 win Detroit Pistons team at any point in this contract.

key word is irrational
i know these players arent that awful, its just something about their faces makes me want to punch them.
But I don’t have a doubt that he could play a valuable role on a good team.
this team sucks though.

Agreed completely on this last part.
And I sure do get being irrational, (though I’m less convinced that hating Tay’s presence is at all irrational).
But with Stuckey, I dislike those who designed this shitty team far more than I do him.

I'm Not Worried About The Tay Signing
I’d be very surprised if he didn’t get dealt sometime before the trade deadline this year or next year. I mean, he’s playing like he wants to be moved now, and I’m pretty sure Dumars will accommodate him.
Just a question of where he can be shipped (contender) and what big Dumars can get for him.
This is DBB, and this is what we do.

1) What contender has anything that we’d want?
2) How is your scenario better than simply having the cap space we’d have had by not re-signing him?
The absolute best-case scenario is an expiring and a pick. And that’s reaching, IMHO.
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
a pick?
seriously, i think tay might be the most untradeable piston right now on a team full of untradeable peoples.
Base-case scenario, as in shitting unicorns while sitting on a rainbow while drinking kool aid.
I think we’re stuck with the man. I’m simply responding to V’s comment that we’re dealing him to a contender.
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
maybe
we can offer the Lakers a 2nd rounder and Prince for their trade exception. It’s a reach, but I’m sure Koostis misses him some Isolayshaun.
Not that Dumars would ever do anything, period. But I can dream.
I would do this in a heartbeat actually...beats the Artest for Tay trade I suggested.

honestly
as bad as tay looks and/or is, the lakers don’t have shit for anyone to handle the ball. kobe’s usage rate is through the roof, and his passing rate is the highest it’s ever been, because he has to have the ball all the time. fisher sucks. artest and barnes probably couldn’t even get the ball past half court.
so they could use some isolayshaun, it would probably save kobe his life this season.
I can't imagine reuniting Tay and Koostis

maybe we could finnagle Matt Barnes out of such a deal, too.
Throw in Max for Barnes. They could use some insurance up front, and Barnes can play undersized PF.

Lakers would probably take an Artest for Tay swap...

not sure...but World Peace with 2 years left beats Tay with 4 years left...
and we could start JJ at the 3 and Artest off the bench behind him. Or still go with JJ at the 4 and start Artest at the 3. Ron would get a lot more scoring opportunities and his rap career could explode in the gritty city of D-town.

I'm with you, buddy.
It’s not completely rational or justifiable. Stuckey is our best guard by quite a bit, but I really can’t stand to watch him play. It’s not really about his play, although it’s partially that. It’s about the attitude he’s had for the past couple season. It’s that in spite of making some progress, he’s nowhere near what we need him to be. Etc.
And with Gordon, I’ve just never liked him, less so as a Piston than ever.
And well, we all understand the frustration with Tay.
Anyway, being a fan (i.e., fanatic) is sort of non-rational / irrational by definition. I don’t think anyone needs to feel apologetic, regardless of their state of emotions with respect to this particular group of players.

were we ever ahead?
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
we were ahead 41-40...in the 2nd quarter.
That is the only time we’ve been ahead in a game since the first quarter of the Knicks game. I think its now 15 consecutive quarters of playing from behind with the exception of that 30 second span last night.

32 and 16?
Greg Monroe is the greatest basketball player in the Milky Way.

How many other players in Pistons history have scored 32 points and 16 rebounds in a single game?
also, per minute
Greg’s game is the second best in Pistons history w/r/t points and rebounds. Only Grant Hill had one single game better than Monroe did, and he did so with 43 minutes to Monroe’s < 40 minutes back in 1997.
You know what sucks?
Knights solid game (turnovers excluded) is overshadowed by Moose’s phenomenal game which is overshadowed by the loss and Dwight Howard setting records tonight. :/
How many times did Dwight Howard put up 32 points and 16 rebounds when he was Greg Monroe’s age or younger?
zero.
I can't still over this after someone said it last night
I knew it, but I didn’t recall it. This guy that looks, already, so big and mature into his game is only in his second year in the league. Not only that but he’s 21, which probably means he still has some growth left in his body. He looks stronger and more mobile than last year, he has shown far more offensive moves than last year, and he’s more confident than last year. His FT percentage has gone from .62% last year to .82% this year…can you fucking believe that?! He’s a fucking center (in use) and he’s fucking 21 years old! Fuck you bitches, Greg Monroe owns you.

You know
Sorta puts a damper on the we need a center argument. He is obviously capable of playing this position. 32-16 on 12-16 shooting. While drawing help side defense. Loving this damn kid more and more just when i thought it wasn’t possible. If he is able to consistently preform from the center position it will make the rebuild a little easier for sure.
We may have a starting center
but you should have a 4 big rotation and we have #1 (Monroe) and maybe #3 if Jerebko can find his stride this season. I’m starting to think he may be better off the bench, but I would still like him to see most of his minutes at PF. He just seems to be too foul prone to rely on for 30 minutes a game at this point. We’ve also got Ben as the #4 big for those spot minutes. Seems like we just need a starting PF and then we can get to work at guard and SF.
but you should have a 4 big rotation

it's going up against opposing C's that worries me
Moose has been in a little bit of foul trouble. I’d love to have a defensive-oriented C to throw at opposing big men to make sure he stays out of it.
