Pistons news: Butt bumps and misunderstanding Josh Smith's game

First, some recent stuff from DBB:

-- Rodney Stuckey says he's all healed and should be ready to go on Friday against the Jazz. This is certainly beneficial to the Pistons.

-- Rev provided an awesome updated look at the Drummond vs. Howard comparison. Drummond fares well.

-- Sean took a look at the emergence of rookie Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

-- Ben answered some questions for the Spanish DBB.

...

-- At Grantland, Zach Lowe says The Pistons Shouldn’t Be This Bad in a very good article wherein he suggests one way of fixing things is to trade ... JOSH SMITH. But ... but ... he's our No. 1 Power Forward!

-- Feel like piling on Josh Smith? I don't, but you might. He said the below [via Freep]:

"It's easy to use me as a scapegoat," he told USA TODAY Sports. "Because I do so much on the court and I'm so passionate about winning and because I'm a competitor, my game can get misunderstood by people who don't understand."

Okayyyy, killlll him (figuratively).

-- Terry Foster at The Detroit News wonders if the Pistons would be better with Michigan's TREY BURKE! DBB knows the answer to that one. First-hand look at Burke on Friday night.

-- At halftime of a game last week, Brandon Jennings was on pace to break the record for assists in a single game (30) set by his former coach, Scott Skiles, but Jennings sucked in the second half. Coincidentally, there is a song about their relationship in Milwaukee. For real. [H/T MichiganBillsFan84 for posting in the FanShots]

-- Did you know Coach in the show 'New Girl' is a Pistons fan? Apparently a 'Pistons butt bump' is a thing we Pistons fans do. Good show.

-- Everybody watches 'The Bachelor', right? Cassandra Ferguson, one of the 27 contestants for Juan Pablo, is a former Pistons cheerleader and ... she has a child with Rodney Stuckey!

-- Mo Cheeks on Andre Drummond's playing time. Match ups and such.

AROUND THE NBA:

-- The Rockets followed up a 79-point first half with a 19-point second half. NBA record for point differential.

-- The Heat have lost three straight and Greg Oden dunked without breaking anything. NBApocalypse.

-- How do you feel about the NBA All-Star jerseys? It seems most do not like.

-- What do you think about this?

Nate Robinson: "If I can be the first player to play for every team in the league, I want to do it."

24 to go, including the Pistons.
