Pistons at Thunder: Where two teams are going in opposite directions

PrintDetroit Pistons at Oklahoma City Thunder, Jan 23, 2012 8:00 PM EST
The Oklahoma City Thunder, one of the NBA's elite teams, will host the Detroit Pistons who are ... not one of the NBA's elite teams. It is a classic David vs. Goliath story, only I think the Thunder are both David and Goliath and the Pistons are more like one of David's irrelevant, unused stones. Is there any good news? For reason we'll discuss below, not really. However, the Pistons are coming off of a hard-fought win against the Portland Trailblazers while the Thunder previously lost to the NBA's worst team, the Washington Wizards, just five days ago.
Game Tips at 8: P.M. EST
Detroit Pistons: 4 - 13 (1 - 7 road)
Oklahoma City Thunder: 13 - 3 (6 - 1 home)
The Situation:
The two teams are like polar opposites. The Thunder, after moving to Oklahoma City from Seattle following the 2007-08 season have had a coherent plan to slowly build a championship contender with superstar Kevin Durant as the lynch pin. The Pistons, after seven straight seasons of at least reaching the Eastern Conference Finals in 2007-08, had absolutely no plan on how to retool and slowly chipped away at a championship contender. Now the Thunder are one of the five best teams in the NBA and the Pistons one of the five worst.
The Thunder have a great, efficient, versatile offense, and the Pistons have a horrible, discombobulated offense. The Thunder have a athletic, hard-nosed, hustling defenders and the Pistons can't communicate with each other and don't seem to know what their doing or where they should be most of the time. The Thunder have a passionate, committed fanbase and the Pistons are last in league attendance. The Thunder have one the game's premier GMs in Sam Presti while the Pistons have Joe Dumars. And I, an unabashed Dumars apologist, for the first time am wondering if Joe is going to be around to see this rebuilding process through.
Keys to the Game:
Run, Run, Run - OKC is one of the best, most efficient teams on the fast break, so conventional wisdom would say that the ideal plan would be to slow the game down and don't play into your opponents strength. Don't believe it. The Thunder use their quickness, length and smarts to force low-percentage jump shots and Detroit has shown all too happy to oblige in taking those kinds of shots against much worse opponents. With Ben Gordon questionable with a shoulder injury, the Pistons need to allow Brandon Knight and Rodney Stuckey to push the ball. The Pistons offense is not greater than the defense of Russell Westbrook, Serge Ibaka and Thabo Sefolosha, so the Pistons need to force some transition opportunities and not let the Thunder get set on D.
In his excellent recap, Packey highlighted the biggest key to Detroit's win over Portland -- scoring outside of traditional offensive sets. While only shooting 7-for-20 on spot-up shots, the Pistons were 13-for-19 in transition plays, off of basket cuts, and after offensive rebounds. More of this, please.
Work the half-court offense through Monroe - The Thunder perimeter players are bound to give Detroit wings fits. If the Pistons have to run their half-court offense, they need to set up Greg Monroe in the high post and let him go to work. Monroe can be effective against starters Kendrick Perkins and Nick Collison if he is able to face up and have more options at his disposal. Often when he attempts to back down his defender, Monroe leaves the ball vulnerable to the steal, and the Pistons can't afford to give the Thunder any easy transition hoops. And the best way to combat the Thunder's speed and length on defense is to suck the defense into the paint and kick the ball out to an open teammate or find teammates on cuts to the basket.
Let Walker Russell lead the bench unit - I'm as excited about the chance for Brandon Knight to learn and grow as anyone, but one thing he has shown is that he needs to have the Pistons most effective players around him in order to succeed. When Jason Maxiell, Damien Wilkins and Jonas Jerebko come into the game with Knight manning the point, the offense self destructs almost instantly. Knight isn't at a point where he can run the offense and put sub-par offensive players in the best position for them to be effective. He is still mistake prone and when things start breaking down he tries to do too much by himself.
Russell is not a great NBA player but against Portland he showed that he can run an offense and play largely mistake free. Knight is averaging more than 36 minutes per game since Jan. 6. BK should sit more, especially when the second unit is on the floor.
Rodney Stuckey, 3-point sniper - Rodney Stuckey has largely struggled this season, at least until Saturday's breakout 28-point, five rebound, four assist performance against Portland that included going 4-for-5 from downtown. Was the 3-point shooting in that game an aberration or a sign of growth in Stuckey's game? For the season, Stuckey is shooting 42 percent on 3s, and even before the Portland game was at a respectable 34 percent on the season. Before this year, Stuckey's three-point percentages looked like this: 18.8, 29.5, 22.8, 28.9. In other words, horrible. He's far eclipsed his career numbers and is on pace to triple the amount of 3-pointers made in any season of his career.
Stuckey has always been a terrifically strong, quick guard without a reliable jumper. If he can stretch his range out to 3-point territory, he will find it much easier to find open lanes to the basket and will probably even see a sizable bump in his efficiency at the rim. For a player that has flashed a number of great kills, Stuck has always been a low-efficiency player. If he can hit 3s and improve his conversion rate at the rim he could be an extremely valuable commodity.
Question of the Game:
Will the Pistons be down by more than 14 points at halftime?

I love the Thunder. I would have named them as one of my pet teams, but I rarely watch them given the time zone difference.
Durant, Westbrook, and Harden are match up hell for us. And they’ve got enough bigs to give Monroe problems all night. They can throw a variety of bodies and strategies at him to keep him guessing.
I don’t ever like watching the Pistons lose, but at least OKC is a fun team to watch?
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
Whoa...whoa...whoa...talk about under-valuing our talent!
They may have Durant, but we have the Durant stopper (aka Austin Daye). Knight will out play Westbrook on a $$$:Productivity ratio, and Monroe’s beards is far more elegant and handsome than Harden’s.

the thunder don't seem all that exceptional
looking at some stats they’ve won 2 more games than their differential would indicate.
they really like to make a living at the free throw line though. they have a lower assist rate as a team than the pistons, so not a lot of passing going on there, they just have a bunch of guys that can get quality shots off. they don’t shoot a lot, in fact they are giving up 4 more shots to their opponents per game than they take (possessions what?).
over the course of the season so far the thunder are -13 on possessions. the pistons are +38 on possessions for the season. the difference? we suck at using ours efficiently, and preventing the other team from using their’s efficiently.
knowing this the thunder will have 60 fga and 40 fta tonight and score 105 points whereas the pistons will have 80 fga and 20 fta and score 80 points.
Russell Westbrook has to be the most overrated nba "star"
He’s the main reason why they haven’t been dominant this year and why Dallas beat them in the playoffs last year. Giving him a max deal was a massive mistake.

And I’d argue that both New York and Boston are severely under-performing. That said, the west is still more balanced whereas the East has arguably three of the top 4 teams. When you have that much power at the top, you’re always going to get a greater disparity in the bottom.

Story of the game
Stuckey has one turnover, which wasn’t a turnover because he was really fouled. But you can take away points but you can’t call an (even if obvious foul) on a reversal. Rules seem to be written just to fuck with us.
So, is the over and under just for the 1st quarter, then?

I've decided that a good way to get in better shape is to create a Pistons workout game.
Something along the lines of:
Every Pistons Turnover, do 5 squats.
Every Pistons Dunk, do 10 push ups
Every Pistons Assist, do 25 jumping jacks
Considering I’m planning on wasting the rest of this season watching a terrible basketball team, I might as well get something of value out of it.
Who is with me? I believe there are some serious exercise enthusiasts…maybe we can put together a solid cardio/overall body work out for Pistons games…

bad enough to get at least the #3 pick? probably not. I’d give it to us!
Whenever the Pistons win
Stern changes the rules just to screw us. I’ve said before and I’ll say again, doesn’t matter how many ping pong balls they put in the bin, the best the Pistons can ever hope for is the fourth pick and I wouldn’t hold my breath for that.
See, but the incredible thing is...
there are six or seven teams who are essentially as bad as the Pistons, if not worse.

sweet jesus
i do genuinely love the pistons but they are starting to look like the girlfriend you want to love cuz she’s nice but…
This is the girlfriend you want to love because you're a masochist
She is unclean, conceited (while ugly), self absorbed, idiotic and she cheats on you with all sort of suspect characters. Then she cleans your bank account (why you gave her the number you fuck) and sells your identity on ebay for some shoes. Then one day you come home and find her in bed with your brother and proceed to ask her to marry you. Because you want to suffer.

Joe Dumars knows value when he sees it
Every Pistons contract is worse than every OKC contract minus the rookie deals which are set by collective bargaining. For the price of Jason Maxiell the Thunder have Ibaka + Sefolosha. For the price of Charlie V OKC has Kendrick Perkins. For the price of Nick Collison the Pistons get Will Bynum. For the price of Kevin Durant the Pistons have Ben Gordon and Jonas. It’s a freaking nightmare.
its really more like 3...
one of those was that Monroe pass to Stuckey with 2 seconds on the clock and he technically didn’t get it off in time. Even with it counting, it was a prayer of a pass.

That said, everytime Moose gets the ball in the post, everyone just stops!
I don’t understand why while working Moose in isolation, they’re not running a set of screens on the backside to get cutters open to the basket…he’d have plenty more assists if they just executed on that alone…it would open up his 10-15 foot jumper, which leads to his attack game.

… because you’ll need the screw over the CPU in every way imaginable on every deals you make with it.
Seriously, Monroe is really struggling shooting the ball.
15 for 48 his last 5 games now. 4 of the last 5 games below 50% shooting (and fifth game being exactly 50%).
Prior to this stretch, he’s shot below 50% only twice.

Monroe has become a primary focus of attention for every opposing team’s game plan after his brief outburst earlier in the season, which as actually paying him a compliment. However, he’s not doing a great job of handling that extra defensive attention.
Without watching, I'm sure that's the case.
He’s the only guy on the team who can hurt you in a remotely efficient manner and who doesn’t screw up on his own. Make him the focus and game over.

10 jumping jacks for every basket made

5 squats for every Pistons turnover/steal/block

Daye
Was playing extended minutes at the 4 in the first half…that’s all you have to know about this game
Just checked the boxscore at the half
Pistons down by 23, Austin Daye our “top performer”
Sounds about par for the course
Welcome... to the Wallace-hood
i still like monroe shooting
at least he’s working on things and competing
Perkins is the only thing standing between me and adopting the Thunder as a pet team. He is by far my least favorite player in the NBA.
if stuckey misses extended time
we could have a shot at unibrow, but i’d prefer he missed time during an easier part of the schedule.
Yeah he's a gamer
He doesn’t break down mentally like Daye.
Just got to see a score and box score
The lines of Moose, Durant and Westbrook told me all I needed to know.
those 3 are pretty good at the game of basketball
at least Moose is taking the most shots and Tayshaun isn’t 3-for-19
beating portland is confusing
i realize no wallace, but if we beat a fellow basement dweller things make sense, but beating a good team makes no sense. i expect to lose to the teams we’re supposed to lose to.
Not Charlotte
I was expecting that one! When do we play washington?
i will accept wins against
washington, charlotte, new jersey, and new orleans. that’s the list. i want all losses to reinforce my beliefs about this team. i should be a fan of PER.
No no no. OK from J has already explained the strategy that DET needs to follow.
(1) Lose as often as possible.
(2) If you must win, do it against a playoff team, so as to not give a loss to a crappy team that may threaten DET’s position in the lottery.

OK from J explained the strategy here.
Basically, it’s the opposite of what a playoff-bound team would do in a division race. 1/2-game setbacks against non-rivals are better than 1-game setbacks against rivals.
Sometimes you just win.
OKC lost to Washington.
Shots fall, rebounds fall away. In a hundred games one-on-one against Kobe (where a single basket wins), I’d likely win one of them.

Welcome... to the Wallace-hood
I thought Brandon Knight played pretty good defense against Westbrook there
Maybe if he was a little stronger to fight through the screen he would have been more effective
Welcome... to the Wallace-hood
He played hard, thats all you can ask for
Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand - Kurt Vonnegut
IME, the Thunder handicap themselves a bit with how they use Harden. I get that there might not be enough shots to go around with Durant/Westbrook/Harden all in the starting line-up, but damn, Harden’s so ridiculously good if it were me I would be doing everything possible to keep him on the court as much as possible.
kinda like ginobili
but he’s old so harden has more of an argument for PT
I think Harden needs a lot of room on the court to operate, and coming in with the second unit he is allowed to handle and/or shoot the basketball as much as he pleases. He won’t be able to do so if he were to start the game with Durant and Westbrook.
But
Would that be because Westbrook would be a lil bitch about not having the ball all the time?
Right.
Westbrook certainly wouldn’t be havin’ it with Harden running the team on the floor over him. Durant can spot up somewhere and still be a threat, but Westbrook has to have the ball in his hands to be able to make something happen. Asking him to spot up while Harden handles the ball is taking a low away from his game.
Westbrook
Use to be one of my favorite players. I use to argue with people that he was better than Rose because he played defense, and that Rose is still an awful defender but has a great defensive team around him. However, Westbrook is becoming more of a whiner to me. If he would work on adapting his game to become more of a passer than a scorer, that would make OKC a much better team.
Harden would have to play more as a normal SG rather than a semi-PG in the starting line-up.
I get OKC’s logic with keeping Harden in the Ginobli role, but I think ultimately if they win a championship with their current core it’s going to be because those three guys made it work as a trio. May as well give them the minutes together to try and figure out how to do it.
It's only unbelievable if you haven't watched any games this year.

Blaha: Well the competition for the services Mr. One-Brow will certainly stiff. Are you worried at all?
Stuckey: At the end of the day there is only one team who has more losses than us, and we are about as bad as we’ve been in the history of the franchse and we haven’t even activated Charlie Villanueva yet. It’s a long season and we have lot more fail in us. When the smoke clears we’re definitely going to be on the bottom.
