Pistons at Rockets: Knight Needs to Step Up Tonight

PrintDetroit Pistons at Houston Rockets, Jan 17, 2012 8:00 PM EST
The Detroit Pistons had a bumpy flight Monday, eventually needing to make an emergency landing, but thankfully avoided a "We are Marshall" scenario, and are in Houston to take on the Rockets.
The Rockets are riding a three-game winning streak, scoring 108 points per game in that span. Luckily for the Pistons, while Houston's offense is on the rise it still struggles mightily on the defensive end, with the sixth-worst defensive efficiency in the NBA. Of course, the Pistons own the league's second-worst mark so it could be a relatively high-scoring affair at the Toyota Center (First one to 90 points wins!).
The Pistons, well, they are one of the league's worst teams and I don't see that changing any time in the foreseeable future. Detroit is still without Charlie Villanueva, who didn't make the trip with the team, Will Bynum, who is day-to-day, and Rodney Stuckey is still less than 100 percent following his recent groin injury. No relying on math science to trick myself into getting my hopes up about this game.
Game Tips at 8:00 P.M. EST
Houston Rockets: 6 – 7 (4 – 1 home)
Detroit Pistons: 3 - 10 (1 - 6 away)
The Situation:
We're not quite one quarter of the way into the season, but it has become apparent that Detroit is one of the league's three or four worst teams. That could pay dividends on draft night but will make for some unsightly games in the meantime.
With that being said, games are less about wins and losses in Detroit and more about growth and maturation of individuals and the team. Hopefully players such as Greg Monroe and Brandon Knight grow from game to game, and hopefully the team's record in the second quarter of the season is better than their record in the first quarter. And hopefully their third quarter of games is better than the second and the fourth better than the third.
In Houston's last game, a 114-106 victory against the Washington Wizards, John Wall had a field day. The lightning fast point guard scored a season-high 38 points, including going 7-9 at the rim. The Pistons could use a night like that from Knight. Which leads us to the ...
Keys to the Game:
Brandon Knight Must Have a Big Game -- Knight is going to have his hands full trying to defend Kyle Lowry. Lowry is having a career year in nearly every statistical category and could eviscerate Detroit's porous interior defense. Knight is going to have to stay in front of Lowry to keep him out of the paint and stop the defense from collapsing. Knight will also have to take better care of the ball, which will be a challenge as Lowry averages more than two steals per game. Knight is going to have to get into the teeth of the defense while also accounting for the shot-blocking presence of Samuel Dalembert.
No Second Chances -- Houston is an excellent rebounding team, especially on the offensive end. They don't shoot for a terribly high percentage, especially if you can keep Lowry and the pesky Luis Scola out of the paint. The Pistons, as daunting a task as it is, need to win the board war to have a shot at winning this game.
Make Kevin Martin Work on D -- Martin is a nice offensive player, but he is not a good defender, to put it kindly. Rodney Stuckey and/or Ben Gordon needs to be aggressive and score in bunches.
Monroe's Big Test -- Greg Monroe has been a monster lately, but facing off against Samuel Dalembert will be a new kind of test. While Dalembert isn't the defender he once was, he can still block shots and is an imposing presence in the middle. Monroe might be tempted to settle for his jump shot, which, while improved, is not nearly his most effective shot. Monroe needs to face up and use his quick first step.
And while Dalembert isn't known for his offense, he can be effective against teams with poor post defense. That is exactly what he did against the Wizards, scoring 20 points on 9-11 shooting. Monroe, Jonas Jerebko and Jason Maxiell have all struggled on the defensive end and they can't allow Dalembert or others to get easy points.
Question(s) of the Game:
Can Brandon Knight do more than shoot 3-pointers? Can the Pistons score more than 100 points? Can Greg Monroe continue his dominance on the offensive end? And this is a prediction not a question: Austin Daye will have a breakout game with double digit points and 2+ 3-point makes. So the question is, am I crazy?

Really wish Dalembert was a Piston
Houston got the steal of the summer in the contract they gave to Dalembert. He’s having a career best season in terms of all the advanced stats like TS% (second only to Tyson Chandler) and PER and WP/48. He’s one of the few frontcourt players that would match up perfectly with Monroe, and we could have had him for less than Tayshaun Prince…
/hadtogetthatoutoftheway
also very good, better than last year so far
Can’t count on him for big minutes (quantity), but can still count on him for big minutes (quality).
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
Dalembert
Unfortunately, there is no way that Dalembert would have signed for the Pistons for that number. If so, he would have just stuck around with the Kings.
Houston offered $14M over two years, second year only $1.5M guaranteed. If we had offered a longer-term deal even for a fraction more per year, I doubt he would have turned that down.
funny thing
is we could have put a claim in on Billups for $2 million, signed Dalembert to the above, signed T-Mac and Dunleavy all for what we’re paying Gordon. Would have made the playoffs. Not sure what value you want to place on that, but I mean if in fact just making the playoffs is the goal it seems pretty damn simple to pull off.
that being
as long as you aren’t AFI and maintain some level of cap flexibility.
dumar’s ineptitude should really be applauded. it’s so rare to witness suck on this level. he’s assembled a team that he can’t even change.
This "what we could have done" with BG's contract money
or the contract money of CV and/or Tayshaun is going to be the ultimate combination of amusing and depressing.
If we’d offered him Tay’s contract, I can’t see a way he’d turn it down. Heck, even Stuckey’s contract would have been incredibly appealing, I’d guess.
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
The more and more I see Monroe, I think the Pistons are right to see his future at center. I’d much rather see an athletic, shot-blocking power forward next to Monroe than a plodding, big-bodied center. Face it, this year is going to be torture and I’m not sure there is any way around it.
I don’t think anyone wants the Pistons to go out and sign Greg Ostertag, but a solid defensive minded center seems like it would do the Pistons as a team a world of good. A defensive minded PF would be fine too, but Faried was available in this past draft and there wasn’t any inkling of interest from the Pistons, so who knows what Jod is thinking.
San Antonio is actually trying to use Faried as a perimeter defender...SF more than PF

There are 3 different coffee shops near us plus a market within walking distance where most of the employees live within walking distance so we should be alright. And if we get more than 5-7 inches, the smallest dog will pretty much have to burrow through it.

I still tend to think positionality is something arbitrary that we assign to players on paper. I think we all agree that we need another big guy who can defend both big positions, rebound, and provide solid interior help defense. I don’t really care where we slot Monroe and that other big man. I don’t envision that it would change Monroe’s role on offense much either way. My hope is that it would simply make life easier for Greg. We could simply assign our best big man defender to the opposition’s best offensive big, and let Greg focus on the offense more than the defense.
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
I got to watch Dalembert abuse the Wizards in person yesterday
A lot of his baskets were scored off of penetration by Lowry and Martin. Granted, shoddy interior defense didn’t help, but keeping the guards out of the paint will go a long way in preventing easy buckets for the Houston bigs.
Well scouted sir
Also, you’re a bit crazy.
Anybody can happen!
Kyle Lowry might be the next Chauncey Billups (in terms of his development progression, I mean).

Don't be misled.
A torn ACL means it’s an absolutely certainty that V-Mart is out for the season. It’s just a situation where no one in the Tigers organization will publicly confirm it yet because doing so can potentially screw with selling season tickets. At any rate, this is a really tough luck for the Tigers.
He might be able to make it for the final stretch
It doesn’t take much athleticism to be a DH. If he can even just help out as a pinch hitter he could make an impact in the playoffs

Points in the paint
I’m looking for a points in the paint tally for this game so far. Anybody have any sources?
case and point about Jonas being a supbar 4
2 boards in 10 minutes this game with 2 fouls, but more importantly only 7.4 boards per 36 on the season with a defensive rebound% of only 17.5%. Even Stoudemire of all people is better than that and he’s universally considered a terrible defender

I don't know about that
CV has a career defensive rebound% of 20%, and a 53% TS% believe it or not. His WS/48 in his past 3 years is also better than JJ’s. JJ might be a better man-man defender but what good is he if he has to keep fouling his man?

Click here for career stats of Jerebko and CV.
Jerebko can rebound from the SF position almost as well as CV as a PF. If possible I would like to see them matched up whenever possible as a SF/PF combo for that reason.
I've mentioned plenty of times I think JJ is a solid 3

it’s a pretty big deal here – not sure how it works in PR
It’s a pretty big deal here if you went to a major university. I went to an art school, which allows me a special perspective on the whole thing. Instead of taking sides in the whole “MY COLLEGE SPORTS TEAM IS BETTER THAN YOURS”, I get to laugh at both teams. AND I never had to pay to be indoctrinated into a pricey regional cult.
not sure how it works in PR though.
My father raised me to be a Michigan fan, even though my mom went to MSU
they’ve been happily married for 40-plus years. My wife is a Packers fan from a Packers family and I’d put myself with the die-hardest of Lions fans – it gets awkward, but I’m madly in love with her. Taking sports rivalries personal results in disgusting shit like this and means you’re doing it all wrong.
my parents are professors at michigan and if i told them someone on an internet forum said “fuck michigan” because of some kind of sports related something something they would blink in confusion then continue on with their lives. which is probably the healthiest way to handle these things
I Root For Both
But I chose USC over Michigan, because I couldn’t deal with winter there anymore (and my absolute first choice, U of Toronto, was definitely out of the question for that matter).
USC worked out ok though, even though by far iundergrad the worst of the three schools.

Foreplay Is Important
If you’re going to fuck someone, suck first. It’s the only polite thing to do.

I think Dalembert is just proving to be a high commodity this free agency period...
I would love to see us amnesty CV and devote a good piece of that to trying to get dalembert to Detroit.

I feel like this is another game where we will never really be close to winning, but we will stay close enough that I don’t turn away. Uninspiring.
remind me again why we signed Tay over Dalembert?

Veteran leadership?
I mean, Tay has a championship ring. He’s a winner. Of course, those are really crappy reasons, but that might be it. Or a bizarre sense of loyalty.
game over
I’m out like Herman Cain

All I Know...
I turned on the game just in time to see us get beat by a bunch of white guys and some dude with a girl’s name. What’s a Courtney Lee?
Glad to see the tank plan is in place: showcase Tay, which is like a twofer…enhance his trade value and guarantee a loss/higher draft pick.
I predict we’ll see new records for surliness this year on DBB.
Off to Vegas I gotta run…will check the Twitter feed.

FUCK CENTRAL!
funny story…during a BCC/BCW football game when I was on the field for halftime, somebody chucked a can of corn at me. That was at Central.
When we played at Western, they threw corn at us.
This was my JV year, so we responded by kicking their asses.

Hard not to look like a jackass in a marching band uniform.
I was a band geek. And I’m not proud of it really.
“he just knows how to play” “great feel for the game”
these Rockets announcers need to up their game with the “white guy is good at basketball” euphemisms.

So, are we seriously averaging 75 points a game?
Really seems like it.

Just flipped to the Jazz/Clippers game and Vinny Del Negro looks hilarious stomping around the sidelines. He looks like a reject from Glengarry Glen Ross.

The Jazz are up by 19 going into the 4th quarter. Ouch.

Does anyone know the official ruling on offensive 3 seconds?
I was under the impression that it only reset on a shot that hits rim…is that not the case in the NBA?

GOOGLE brought me to this...

scroll down a bit for offensive 3 seconds violation.
thats fucking stupid...
you just have to be in the act of shooting? I could have sworn that high school ball it reset only if someone shot and it actually hit the rim.
