Heat at Pistons: This is gonna be T-Painful... get it!?

PrintMiami Heat at Detroit Pistons, Jan 25, 2012 7:30 PM EST
Eddy Curry and the Miami Heat visit the Pistons tonight for a half-time T-Pain concert. There might also be some basketball before and after the show, although calling it "basketball" is kind of a stretch. Stay auto-tuned, Pistons fans, tonight's gonna be awesome!!
Game Tips at 7:30 P.M. EST
Miami Heat: 12 - 5 (5 - 3 road)
Detroit Pistons: 4 - 14 (3 - 6 home)
The Situation:
The Miami Heat are still not playing like a championship team. Nearly a season-and-a-half into the South Beach Talents experiment, the Heat are still facing the same old problems. Beyond Lebron, Dwyane and Chris, who is going to stand up for this team in the frontcourt? The Heat are getting good production out of Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole at the point, and Udonis Haslem is a solid backup behind Bosh. But the Heat are relying on Joel Anthony (who is receiving a lot more All Star votes than Greg Monroe!!) and Eddy Curry to hold down the pivot. On the wings, Shane Battier, Mike Miller and James Jones are just not producing, despite rotating to fill in for the missing Dwyane Wade. In total, it's a three man show in Miami, and beyond some decent options at the point, they've got a gaping hole at center and a bench that isn't getting the job done.
Oh, but they'll still steamroll the hell out of the Pistons tonight. Not sure if there is even a point in discussing that part. I'd much rather talk about the fun part here-- that Miami does not appear to have a championship recipe despite having some of the league's most talented players and Bosh. What's more, the only real way to build a sure-thing contender out of this crew is to trade one of the big three. Who knows, they might win a championship as is, but they've got some gaping holes that a great roster and a smart coach can exploit. Fortunately for the Heat, the Pistons possess none of those things tonight.
Keys to the Game:
How Moosey Got his Groove Back - seriously, for the start of the season, Greg looked like the hottest Monroe since Marilyn. Over the last five games, his offense has fallen through the floor. He turns the ball over more than he passes, he's not hitting jumpers or layups, and the only thing that appears to be working are the rebounds and free throws. I don't know what it's going to take, but Monroe needs to get ahold of the style he started this season with. If he can do that, he has the potential to own the frontcourt matchup tonight.
Dribble penetration - I usually hate this style of play, but since Detroit has plenty of it, it could come in handy tonight. Miami has Chris Bosh and no one else in their frontcourt, so driving for layups will bring whistles and force Miami to play the zero cards it has up front.
Be just as careful about dribble penetration - Detroit also has a terribly shallow frontcourt, so foul trouble for Moose could make this game even harder to watch than it already will be. LeBron lives at the foul line, or at least rents a condo there, so be extra careful tonight.
Question of the Game:
Greg Monroe is shooting 33% over the last five games. He started the season white hot. Is this an aberration that will soon be forgotten, or this level of usage too much for Moose? This is a rhetorical question. This is an aberration. I demand it to be so.

I think people figured out Moose
And now he has to adapt. If he’s really going to be an all-star level talent in the league, he’s going to have to get around being game planned on by other teams. It’s not like they’re worried about Tay-so-lation.
HA HA HA

Truly a night of Magrocodile - Mike Payne
In total, it’s a three man show in Miami, and beyond some decent options at the point, they’ve got a gaping hole at center and a bench that isn’t getting the job done.
I can’t argue too much, but it is better than last year at this point or at any point in the regular season. Miller and Udonis are healthy and Battier was a good pick-up. As you said Cole was a good pickup even though he does struggle at times and even though he does struggle, his defense is a whole lot better than either Bibby or Arroyo. The bench reverted back to no offensive production against the Bucks which sucked. If the Pistons attack the rim with dribble penetration like you are saying, this will be a close game.
Also, if there is a physical forward to get up in Bosh’s face sometimes he does not respond so well—gets more passive and settles for that jumper. Aside from him if Wade can’t go, he is the best post option which is really not his game. Bron is getting better but still does not do enough of that but gets to the rim with dp.
GET TO THE RIM HEAT (and SKY)! ATTACK THE PAINT!
One thing i’ve been noticing more and more and this pertains to the roster as well obviously. Stuckey, Knight and Gordon constantly run pick and rolls and pops with Maxiell and Ben Wallace, it leads to such awful possessions, as much as I love Ben he and Maxiell have got to be 2 of the of the worst inside big men in the league. These Pick and roll situations as well as Tayshaun holding the ball too long destroy what little offence we actually do have.
New Hampshire has this license plate. I think it's a good thing.
Unlike Amir, Moose don’t need freed.
Hey, I just noticed something
Know who’s 10th in the league in blocked shots, despite only playing 12 minutes per game?
I’m going to grab all of your rebounds. I’m going to dunk all of your dunks. I’m going to block all of your floaters. I’m going to steal all of your drives. I’m going to take all of your charges. I’m going to intimidate all of your scorers. I’m going to do a million things to fuck up your game that will never show up in the box score. I am Ben Wallace. I am a Piston. There will never be any player more Piston than I. Fucking try me.

The Heat have to trade one of the big three, no? I can’t see how they’ll ever win a chip without adding some significant role players, and I can’t see the doing that without moving those of those Dbags.
Nice to see Austin Daye back. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he’s playing well when Tay’s not around.
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
I sure do hope that it's LeBron.
That would be so wonderful if the Heat realized Wade and Bosh were more important than him.

19 games in
looks more like he’ll be really good than not. confident shooter, that’s for sure, but still really tentative passer when running the break, like he’s scared of turning it over
I don’t think I’ve seen many all-out fast breaks from the Pistons this year. It seems like we’re always pushing 2 on 2 or 3 on 3… not as many “obvious” passes. In those circumstances I’m ok with him keeping the ball and going hard to the basket. He’s been pretty good at finishing in those moments too, from what I recall (+ pretty good at the line).
I am loving his shooting ability
I am still concerned about his playmaking, the turnovers are high, the assists are low. I think he is going to be a solid starter. If he can settle his passing and shit he could be a minor star. Not a super star, i think, but very good.

I've been switching back and forth between the new Jack Bauer show and the Pistons game.
I might have to stick with the Pistons!

Hey guys
Can you imagine if we were actually rebuilding? If we were fielding this team every night with the prospect of vast cap space and a young, talented roster with no dead weight? I hope JOD is choking on his Hungry Howie’s right now.

“All five of those guys would be potential go-to guys in this situation.”
Kelser on Prince, Bynum, Gordon, Stuckey, and Villanueva
That’s depressing.
Here's a thought bubble on our bitched-out bench:
Tayshaun Prince: “If I was on the court tonight, we would have won this.”
Charlie Villanueva: “If I was on the court tonight, we would have won this.”
Ben Gordon: “If I was on the court tonight, we would have won this.”

This is the best Pistons game this season, and probably the best one since the OT game against the Clippers last year. Nice to enjoy Detroit Basketball for a change.

This was the most fun I had watching the Pistons all season.
No Prince, Gordon, and Villanueva may have had something to do with it.

It was a fun game to watch, one more loss towards “the brow” and austin daye got his groove back for the most part. I’ll take it, considering how I thought this game was going to go

Honestly, tonight is the first night since probably 2008-2009 that I’ve been proud to be a Pistons fan. I can cheer for a losing team and be proud about it, as long as they get after it and compete the way they did tonight.
This is the kind of change that I can take ownership of. I don’t care at all that we lost. I just care that this group of players played hard, believed in each other, and sincerely cared about the game they were playing.
I don’t think it’s coincidental that Gordon, CV, and Prince were not a part of this.
This franchise needs more of what we saw tonight. Wins and losses are secondary. I sincerely believe that the fanbase would rally around a team that played like this night in, night out, even if we lost every game of the season (and if we played like this frequently, we’d certainly win more as a bonus).

I'd add him too
I know I’m pretty much alone in this. But I’ve always felt Bynum’s style to be obstructive.
Fire Joe Dumars
I don't know if Lawrence Frank is the future for our head coaching position...
but it sure is refreshing seeing him so vocal and hands on with this team during a big game.
(and making smart decisions)
OT
I drank the rest of the beers. I loved their Fortunato and I hated the Mon Tressor lavender tripel.
Awesome.
I have yet to make it to the tap room. I get the stuff for free so I don’t have much need for going there lol. It makes for a slower test of the beers but can’t beat the price.
I missed the game up till late in the 4th quarter and I was shocked..
that we were playing such a good game against a top-tier team, IMO they hsould get rid of BG,CV and TAY and let the young ’uns develop.
If, IF, Austin Daye is through with this little patch, it is truly for the better
He burned through the first third of this season testing his limits and attempting things that he simply isn’t talented enough to do. In doing so he has opened up new parts of his game that wouldn’t have happened if he listened to Ben and just became a spot shooter.
There is a chance that this will be the only game where he puts it together and maybe he will only develop a few facets of his game or will be out of the league before he has a chance. The fact that he has the balls to keep trying to become that complete player means he has earned my respect, even if he never really gets there.
Welcome... to the Wallace-hood
I just want him to develop himself as trade bait.
flash some potential here and there. Some other sucker can be all like “yeah we’ll take Charlie off your hands, but you gotta give us some of that there Daye also.”
Heat fans at the Palace
were intensely exuberant when JJ made that go-ahead three.. Mfkn bandwagoners!!! You’re more disgusting than those two BS LeBron calls.
