Pistons at Nets: Third Time's the Charm?

PrintDetroit Pistons at New Jersey Nets, Feb 1, 2012 7:30 PM EST
Tonight, the Pistons will conclude a back-to-back-to-back, courtesy of the generous NBA owners. Cramming 66 games into an abbreviated schedule was genius enough, but forcing teams to play on the road for three consecutive nights? Brilliant. Oh yeah, the Nets also played on the road last night in Indiana, where the Pacers had their way during the second half.
Two bad teams on tired legs. What more could a fan ask for? Quantity over quality is always the best way to please your consumer base.
But I digress.
Game Tips at 7:30pm EST
Detroit Pistons: 4 - 19 (1 - 11 road *shudder*)
New Jersey Nets: 7 - 15 (2 - 6 home)
The Situation:
Both of these teams suck. Both teams lost on the road last night, and this game is even more likely to be ugly as a result. Additionally, both teams are depleted by injury. The Nets have been without their starting centre, Brook Lopez, all season and recently lost promising rookie MarShon Brooks to a foot injury. Former Piston Mehmet Okur is a shadow of who he was while wearing the Red, White, and Piston Blue, but he's also out with a bad back. The Pistons remain without the services of Will Bynum, Ben Gordon, and Charlie Villanueva.
However, the Nets are playing at home - the Pistons have only won one game on the road - and they have Deron Williams. That may be enough to tip the scale in their favor.
By the advanced metrics, Deron Williams is having a bit of a down year, due largely to a decline in offensive efficiency (i.e., shooting efficiency and turnovers). However, he's still as dangerous as they come, as he demonstrated last night in Indiana where he dropped 34 points (on 20 shots) and dished out 7 assists. Knight, Stuckey, and Russell will all get a chance to try slowing Williams down, and they'll certainly have their hands full. Pick and roll fer days, if I'm Avery Johnson.
Williams is the obvious focal point of the Nets' offense, and he's equally dangerous creating for himself or others, but he's not the only threat the Pistons will need to keep in check.
Many believed Kris Humphries was a one-hit wonder. On the basketball court, at least, this doesn't appear to be the case. He's following up last year's career season by averaging a double double this year -- scoring just under 13 points and grabbing just under 11 boards per contest. Say what you will about his antics off the court, Kris Humphries is the type of bruising, blue-collar big man I'd welcome as a Pistons every day of the week. The Pistons have had a habit of making guys like him look like All Stars over the past couple seasons. Box him out, please.
The Nets also have weapons from behind the arc, which will keep the Pistons perimeter defenders from helping on Williams' penetration. Sharp-shooting Anthony Morrow is coming off an excellent shooting performance in Indiana, scoring 28 points on 17 shots, including 5-8 from behind the long line. Jordan Farmar is having a quietly good season, shooting a blistering 46% from deep. With the injury to Brooks, Farmar should see time at both guard spots off the bench. The Pistons can't afford to leave a hand down on these two, because we all know what happens after hand down...
Keys to the Game:
Contain dribble penetration: This, of course, is easier said than done, and of course, should be at the very top of the Pistons' scouting report. This Nets team isn't going to win many games if Deron Williams isn't playing well. The more the Pistons can do to make his life difficult, the better.
Pick up the pace: Please? Pretty please? Pretty, pretty please? The Pistons continue to play at the slowest pace in the league. Honestly, I have no idea if playing any faster will increase the chances of winning; bad basketball is bad basketball in slow motion or fast forward. But, I'd much rather watch this team get out on the break and attack quickly regardless of outcome than I would watch almost everything we've seen up to this point.
Move the ball: In the most ironic comment of the year (decade?), Tayshaun Prince is on to something. And while we're since we're talking about moving the ball, Tayshaun...
Feed the Moose: Kris Humphries, Shelden Williams, and Johan Petro. These three players are likely to play the majority of the Nets' frontcourt minutes. The implication is obvious, no? If I have to watch one more game where Tayshaun Prince shoots the ball more than Greg Monroe, I will whine, gripe, and RPBAR this game thread. This is not an empty threat. No one wants that. No. One.
Question of the Game:
There are six players on the Nets' roster that I had to look up, because I didn't have any idea who they were when I looked at their names. How many for you?

The “How are you feeling about the Pistons?” poll won’t let me choose anything less than 10. 10 is RIDICULOUSLY generous. The number I really want to pick is -22.

I must say
that DBB has been better this season than any other, thanks in large part to Benjamin Gulker and Sean Corp. Hats off to you two, and this preview has been rec’d.
also, big ups to Tads and Zee Boourns
for their kick ass game threads two. We’re playing .500 ball when community previews are written btw…
kinda hard to judge
this roster is so absolutely terrible that it’s difficult to judge Frank’s impact. There haven’t really been close games where coaching becomes a chess match. It’s all just slaughter, night-in, night-out.
Gulks i love these posts
keep it up! and god bless the #1 pick!

"However, the Nets are playing at home, where they have won three consecutive games"
How? in the detailed record above it says they are 2-6 at home, how could they have won 3 straight there?
Indeed, if they are 2-6 at home, not only could they not have won 3 straight at home
But, you know, not even 3 totally.
Still, they will likely beat us by 20.
The next six games look pretty winnable actually
New Jersey, Milwaukee, New Orleans, New Jersey, New Jersey and Washington.
I wish we could swap schedules with Charlotte…
I dunno, I just checked the cumulative stats (because I'm a masochist)
Detroit, on average, gets outscored by just over 11 points a game (96.8-85.7). In other words, a 10 point loss is better than average game for us. That’s in large part because we shoot .420 percent from the field and our opponents have shot .486.
We are mind-bogglingly bad as a team. I know that’s not news, but I don’t see us winning a bunch of games, even against crappy opponents.
Hey guys, I don’t post much but I follow DBB loyally, I was wondering if you guys had a consensus on Drummond or Davis?
Confused
On the one hand, Frida Kahlo was a great artist and is a legend here, along with her old man, of course, Diego Rivera.
On the other hand..not the easiest to look at..
May we be able to pick Davis, and may he be anywhere as talented as Ms. Frida.

Fire Joe Dumars
If he lost his last 17 at New Jersey
and is 4-19 here.
That would mean 4 of his last 40. A loss tonight (looking likely) and that would be a combined percentage lower than that legendarily bad Sixers team that went 9-73.

How many Williams’s do the Nets have?
Knight's passing is looking better tonight
crisper, better located. He’s had a few that should’ve been assists but were dropped by Max or Monroe
can't blame Monroe though
when passing, it’s always a good idea to aim for Moose.

Any way it can happen?
Funny story
After my accident in December, i woke up from the coma convinced i had lost a testicle and was in an indonesian hospital for them to operate on me as my family couldn’t afford health care here in Aust (which, incidentally, is free). Morphein and Propafol make for interesting hallucinations
You speak the truth!
But what is more painful: watching this pistons team or making do with one…?
The fact i am questioning his makes me sad
Anyone else watching the Wolverine's game too?

Is there no Big Ben tonight?
because of the back to back to back?
off topic
But I think you would know this. On a shot clock violation, does anyone get credit for the TO, or is it like a team TO somehow?
take a peek at last night’s box score: http://www.hoopdata.com/boxscore.aspx?id=320131018
20 turnovers credited to individuals, 22 team turnovers.
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
I asked that a few months ago.
I agree, interesting. In reality, it often is a player’s fault. Say, oh, I don’t know…someone…um, maybe…Rodney Stuckey…dribbles the ball at the top of the key for twenty-one seconds before dropping it off to a heavily covered wing twenty feet from the bucket and he can’t get off a shot? Really that’s on Stuckey.
But they’d probably give it to the guy who had it in his hands, which would be misleading.

Tayshaun
Keeps shaking his head on offense every time he doesn’t touch the ball…but maybe someone should tell him that Shawne Williams is his man on defense.
Apparently the problem is not that the team expects him to be the hero
but that he wants to be.
Fire Joe Dumars
I guess he thinks that
Shooting barely over 40% and averaging as many FG attempts as our best player justifies the $8 million per year salary.

That kinda of stuff
the rebound-turnover-missed shot-almost rebound-nets still get the ball drive me crazy.
Not really sure why
We just didn’t sign Kris Humphries. Does the dirty work and is a great rebounder. Yea, he’s a douchebag off the court, but no one else but Monroe rebounds the damn ball outside of their zone.
noted
Guess it doesn’t matter anyways since we won’t end up with a top 5 pick
really?
I’m thinking all but guaranteed top three
"With logic he attacks. With statistics he defends."
Knowing our luck, we'll finish with the 2nd worst record and get the 5th pick.

It Depends
What position you want Moose to play. He plays the 4, you want Drummond. He plays center, you go with Davis. It’s all good, but I think he may do a little better with Drummond,

by V. on Feb 1, 2012 10:13 PM EST up reply actions
we've been there done that
nobody likes drummond better, nobody, except maybe that one guy, but he’s never spoke up.
Assuming the unibrow is taken, and Drummond is still considered somewhat of a consensus
do DBBers keep him or trade him?
I am interested in MKG as a positive leader and influence. Also, even though they don’t fit, drafting Sullinger and letting him put up 15/10 next to Monroe would give us a great trade asset.
I'm thinking about doing a fanshot about Sullinger.
I understand that everyone is on the “Final Destination: Unibrow” train but I think people are really under-appreciating how good Sullinger has been this season.

the first rule of drafting is that you don’t draft white dudes with picks 1 through 7. I don’t know this Harlan Sanders, but at least he doesn’t break the cardinal rule.
With Prince shooting well tonight
think we can convince Billy King to trade Okur for him?
We're offering them value we didn't want to give up
its very nice of us
But, of course, that's the annoying part.
It’s not a surprise when Tayshaun Prince plays well. He’s still a good player. Though Knight and Jerebko are more interesting and might have more future potential, Tay is the teams second best player, perhaps.
But, to beat the proverbial dead horse, having a slightly more productive good player on a team that will win a quarter of its games and allowing him to stand in the way of the possible development of others is utterly stupid. Add to the fact that he’s signed until he’s 35 and this is a blunder of Spellcheckian proportions.
