    Pistons is not a good team. They are blown out by Pelicans.

    Because we suck. We are a scrub team. Especially without Dwight, DMO and Bev.

    • Not a good rebounding team, but no Dwight means they will crash.
    • Weak interior defense/scorers (outside of Monroe).
    • MCW is there only playmaker who doesn't like to shoot. Bayless is the other and he likes to shoot.
    • OBryant and Vaughn have weak P&R defense, Bayless sucks on defense too. Attack inside & in transition especially when O'Bryant is on the floor.
    • Only Bayless & Middleton pull up from mid range.
    • Middleton, Bayless & O' Bryant suck at closing out.
    • Try to steal a few rebounds and transition points of Bayless.
    • Bayless has a quick first step. Get inside his head, keep him guessing on how you are playing him.
    • Several options do double off of when Monroe posts up.
    • The Bucks are 3rd to last in 3PM, but they don't shoot many (Middleton shoots most of them, followed by Bayless & Vaugn.
    • Henson is weak and shooting 51% from the FT line. Be physical with him.

    Stan Van Gundy: Pistons look 'firmly committed to being mediocre'

    Except when you play the Rockets. Then you look firmly committed to being a good team. :)

    That's kinda interesting. Interesting that Jennings is trying to assume again a leadership role while Detroit has made their choice who is their franchice pg. Hmm.
