Game Preview: San Antonio Spurs at Detroit Pistons

PrintSo, the game starts in three hours. I haven't watched as much Pistons basketball as I had originally hoped to when I signed up for writing the preview. I was going to wow you all with my BBIQ. Instead, you're going to get this hack-a-preview. Since I don't know a whole lot about the Pistons, consider this as much a "scouting report" of the Spurs as it is an actual "game preview". Enjoy.
The matchup most interesting to me is between Detroit's frontline of Jonas Jerebko and Greg Monroe vs San Antonio's Dejuan Blair and Tim Duncan. Duncan, for those of you who haven't been following too closely, is having a solid stretch of games, putting up several double doubles over the past few weeks- in under 30 minutes of play. He is still the most efficient player in basketball. He has, though, lost most of his power moves and is more of a finesse and jump shooting player now. Moose is going to have his hands full, but I'm especially curious to see how this plays out. On the other end, Duncan will also have his hands full. No sugarcoat- Moose is probably the best young big in the league and one of my current favorite non-Spurs.

Dejuan Blair has been completely hit or miss. His rebounding numbers are down, his scoring average is about the same, and his defense has largely left a lot to be desired. That said, Jerebko is going to be a great matchup. Dejuan is a little finesse with a whole lot of power, and typically the Spurs first few plays runs through him. Expect to see a quick post up, the Spurs patented "4-down" post-iso play, and a couple pick and rolls with Tony Parker to start the game. If Jerebko has problems stopping him 1-on-1, I wouldn't be surprised to see Pop continue to call Blair's number.
You can ignore many of the references in that last paragraph, as apparently Jason Maxiell is starting (shows you how out of date I am). While not as exciting to me as Blair/Jonas, Blair/Maxiell is going to be fun. The burger eater vs the baby eater. Honestly, though, if I'm the Pistons, I'd put the bruiser Maxiell on Duncan and let Monroe handle Blair. If Maxiell can be physical with Duncan without fouling, there's a good chance Detroit wins the overall frontcourt matchup. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Blair guarding Moose (in another battle of beasts) as Dejuan has recently been given the responsibilities of guarding other teams post scorers- and he's done so efffectively against Luis Scola and the half of Dirk Nowitzki that showed up to play so far this season. Likewise, if Blair can cover Monroe without fouling, it's likely the Spurs win the front court matchup.
I haven't talked much about the Spurs backcourt. Tony Parker, of course, is the starting point guard and he is likely going to make the rookie Brandon Knight look like a rookie and the veteran Rodney Stuckey look like a rookie. He's been playing that well lately. Getting into the lane, hitting jump shots...and averaging a career high in assists.
The Spurs starting shooting guard, since Manu Ginobili's injury, has been a rotation of Gary Neal (an efficient Ben Gordon), Kawhi Leonard (a defender extraordinaire) and Danny Green (kind of like diet-Manu). Whichever two don't start, lead the bench unit with Tiago Splitter and everyone's favorite ginger Matt Bonner. Bonner is having his second career year in a row, and has added some defense and rebounding to his game- and also a weird little floating hook teardrop shot that we aren't sure exactly what it is so we call it a "shyhook". Splitter is the best backup big in the league right now, hands down, and in his second season with the Spurs is finally reminding everyone why he was drafted. He blocks shots, rebounds, sets excellent screens, and yes, he occasionally dunks.
Oh, yeah. Manu Ginobili returned from injury Saturday and is playing himself back in to shape. Pencil him in for 15-20 minutes tonight.
To get a win, Detroit is going to need solid contributions from everyone on both ends- but especially so on defense. The Spurs, according to Hoopdata, have the 7th most efficient offense in the league...but that was before Manu returned. Disciplined defense, closing out on the Spurs 3pt shooters, owning the glass and not fouling will give Detroit it's best chance. You can beat the Spurs if you shut down the role players and Tony Parker. The problem is that there are a lot of role players to shut down, and all of them have shown they are capable of doing more than just one thing. Quickness and length to keep Parker out of the paint, forcing Duncan to take fade-a-ways, and preventing open 3's gives Detroit a chance to win. If they don't do that, their chances of winning the lottery increase.
I've been counting down the days to this game since the lockout ended. Good luck, DBB, and may the red pandas be with us all.

Great to have a post from you here
Love the cross-pollination, so to speak. But frankly, as a long-time Pistons fan, the only way Detroit wins this game is if the Spurs bus gets lost en route to the stadium. And maybe not even then.
Duncan's numbers per minute
are always ridiculous. It makes you wonder how some bigs can play almost 40 minutes a game and can’t consistently grab 10 rebounds. For instance, Aldridge is one of my favorite non-Piston players, but I wish he would rebound the ball at a better rate.

Tay literally just held the ball for seven seconds, deciding what to do.
I suppose he did make a good hustle play before to get the ball.
It’s interesting how they break their game threads into halves. Seems kind of unnecessary, doesn’t it?
Ha, I was wondering why they had stopped posting.
Apparently they don’t like using the subject line for some reason. I wonder why.
I think its a SBN thing.
SBN doesn’t seem to handle threads with much more than a thousand posts. Sites like Blazers Edge and PTR always split the game threads up because they hit the thousand post thread so often in the first half.

But it’s not like the refs are the difference in this game.
If we had an offense, though, we might be in this game.

i'm taking it
the only reason we are in this game, if you can call it that, is because leonard has only played 6 minutes. this should be like a 20+ point game by now.
Yeah, I was imagining how cool it would be to have him on the Pistons
and I tried to think what Brandon Knight would have to do in order to make me not want leonard more
Welcome... to the Wallace-hood
Poll Question
I answered DeJuan Blair. I remember noticing him for the first time in the Freshman vs Sophmore game during NBA All Star weekend. Kid definitely has a “fat guy energy” that I respect. I’ve had a bit of a soft spot for him since then…. everyone else, who cares. Actively dislike flopper Ginobli. I respect Tony Parker but think he’s always been in the lower half of starting PG echelon in the NBA.
He can't handle being guarded by Duncan
My federal building is way cooler than your federal building.
I would have thought 20+ by now for sure
Although it’s not like they’re going to outscore SA by 12 in the 4th.
Only Piston who doesn't have a negative +/- after three quarters
Not that I’m a big believer in that stat.

I kind of feel bad for Stuckey. I’ve never been a fan of his style of play, but this year he seems to be doing much better and be in a bit more control. And yet I still want him to just have quiet games, not breakout all-star games. I feel like when he does too much it gets out of control.

Some in the crowd just audibly yelled
“Count that baby and a foul!” on Stuckey’s drive.
The sideline mics are the most entertaining thing about this game.
I had the game minimized for a sec and heard it
I was hoping it was the ref coming over with the foul call

Yeah, I was thinking that
Tay and Ben W. are probably thinking ‘this really isn’t like 2005 at all."
And now we took the lead
And Duncan would get a foul call on that play against anyone else.
Even though it wasn’t a foul.
And JUST AFTER I TYPE THAT, Greg says it. For real.

I'm not going to say I'd have called that foul on Tay
BUT..from the ref’s angle, Tay’s arm extended as Manu flopped (yes, it was a flop), which made the call…justifiable, if not accurate.

One Valentine’s Day night, a shiny onion went to Ace Hardware to order 28 feet of 3/8 iron plumbing pipe to build a bookcase with. Apparently cutting and threading 28 feet of 3/8 iron plumbing pipe takes a really long time, so that onion went across the street to a small pub to watch the Pistons game. After a beer or so, the onion looked around the room. Lo and behold, there is that onions’ mom!

that was a legit flop the problem was that when prince pushed into ginobili with his hip and ginobili flopped prince pushed off hard with his elbow into manu right in front of the ref.
So you gotta call it. I know ginobili flopped but I think the ref might have called a foul anyway you can’t push off with your other arm like Prince did.

My 2 cents:
I don’t mind losing a close game. I don’t even mind posing a close game to the spurs. But I fucking HATE losing a close game to the spurs because the refs chose to acknowledge the fucking pussy ass nature of Manu Jablowme. Of all the players in the NBA, there are only 2 that I wish would be wiped from the face of the earth – Garnett and Jablowme.

I’d also rather have Amir Johnson than Lin…10 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 blocks alongside the joke of the centreury Aaron Gray. Its sad to think that Amir would be a very solid compliment to Greg Monroe right now…but I guess I’d rather have Davis over everyone…except Moose.

Missed the game for Valentines day

Also...on Jeremy Lin
I know he’s been playing some inspired basketball…but dude is also averaging more than 6 turnovers a game…

Yeah, I don't buy it yet neither.
Nice story, but I don’t like the sample size. If he were doing this anywhere but NY or LA, people wouldn’t give a Daye.
