Okay, sorry for the late game thread and no analysis here. Been sick all day, forgot when the game was (8:30pm here is ridiculously early for a game) and have been watchjng the Snooker.
We usually beat Detroit, having won 9 of the last 10, and AD usually dominates. Hopefully we can pick up a much needed road win here.
Edit: Okay fine, couldn't help myself, little bit of analysis:
Pistons have an offensive rating of 107.4, which is 26th in the league. Their defense is 9th in the league, but can easily be exploited: their best defenders are Drummond (who AD has always been able to score on with ease), and Stanley Johnson, who Jrue is much better than on offense. They are a fantastic offensive rebounding team (8th) but not great on defense (28th) and a large amount of that comes from Griffin being a pretty mediocre rebounder for a forward with such a motor. If we can keep them off the offensive glass and play our own game on our side, the rebounds should actaully work out very well for us despite Drummond being the league's leading rebounder.
They're 29th in 3pt percentage, so hopefully our dreadful perimeter defense doesn't get annihilated too badly tonight, and if we can defend the paint with any sort of proficiency, this should be a win without too much problem.
