On the Pistons:
Detroit Bad Boys / Need4Sheed / Piston Powered / Detroit Free Press
Losers of four straight, the Bucks will once again be without Andrew Bogut and Carlos Delfino as they look to avoid a post-Thanksgiving hangover in Detroit.
Bogut Update. Bogut's back was injured during the OKC game on Saturday and he missed the loss in Cleveland on Wednesday (officially because of back spasms), but no word yet on his status tonight and Jim Paschke tweets that he's not expected to play tonight either. While Jon Brockman started in Bogut's place vs. the Cavs, Larry Sanders had the better night in what was his most productive outing as a pro. Nothing to get too excited about (yet), but it's encouraging to see him making a legitimate case for more playing time and he should see regular minutes again tonight.
Piston Purgatory. It's been about three years since I had any idea what Joe Dumars was doing with the Pistons, and they don't seem to be any less confused in Detroit. Wednesday's blowout loss in Memphis has Vince Ellis at the Free Press wondering if changes could be in store for this game, namely at the power forward and shooting guard positions. Jason Maxiell and Austin Daye have each started at PF since the loss of Jonas Jerebko in the preseason, but Charlie Villanueva may get a shot at the starting spot against his old mates and Ben Gordon could take Rip Hamilton's starting SG spot. Both CV and Gordon are scoring with career-best efficiency, but neither plays more than 27 mpg, averages more than 14.1 ppg, or does anything else to contribute (Villanueva's even posted a Bargnani-esque 10.9 rebound rate so far). Not exactly what Dumars had in mind when he blew his cap wad on them two summers ago.
Guys like Daye and lottery pick Greg Monroe offer at least some hope for the future, though its coming along slowly. Monroe averages 17 mpg but is shooting just 35% and hasn't cracked double-digits all season, while Daye is a serious mismatch type at the 4 (15/29 threes)...but I can't picture him defending any "real" PF in the post. Anyway, I haven't seen the Pistons yet this season so I'm curious to see how Daye stacks up against the Bucks' frontline.
Offense/Defense. The Bucks keep losing, but we can at least take some solace in the fact that their underlying stats remain pretty damn respectable (I'm trying to stay positive here, people). Even at 5-9, the Bucks have still actually outscored their opponents for the season (barely) and continue to sport the best defense efficiency and best defensive rebound rate in the league. Good times!
But the whole scoring points thing remains a problem...as in, no one is worse at doing it than our beloved Bucks. They're dead last in offensive efficiency, a full 6.1 points/100 possessions worse than a year ago (they're also 4.4 pts/100 better defensively). The root of the problem? Shooting and turnovers. The Bucks were actually among the best in the league at taking care of the ball a year ago, but thus far they're 22nd in turnover rate and by far the worst shooting team in the league--their 44.3% eFG is over 2% worse than the 29th ranked Timberwolves and nearly 4% off their pace from a year ago. And it's not any one type of shot that's troubling the Bucks either. Their eFG% is bottom six from every shot location, so it's not like they're just taking the wrong types of shots. Yowza. All that has more than offset major strides on both the offensive boards (10th vs. 18th last year) and in getting to the foul line (16th vs. 30th last year).
So at the end of the day the Bucks' outlook on a macro level comes down to how much they can improve on offense (I mean, it's almost impossible for them to stay this bad) without losing much on defense (they're not going to stay nearly 2 pts/100 better than the Magic all year).
Delfino still out. In case you missed it, on Wednesday the Bucks actually acknowledged that Carlos Delfino's "strained neck" was also a concussion--you know, as Delfino explained on his blog a couple weeks ago. The good news is that he's 90% free of his concussion symptoms, but he's still at least a couple weeks from returning. I think it's time to stick a fork in the whole "Luc Mbah a Moute can play extended minutes at SF" thing and start Corey Maggette at the 3, but unfortunately Scott Skiles' options are fairly limited at the moment with Chris Douglas-Roberts still on the mend from his eye injury and John Salmons still struggling to justify his paycheck.
More Maggette, please. Maggette's scoring efficiency is way down from his usually lofty standards (53.8% TS vs. 61.5% last year), but it's still way better than anyone else in the Bucks' Delfino-less starting lineup. Which is why I'm stil trying to figure out how Maggette has played 15 or fewer minutes in three of the last five games. At this point I'd start him ahead of Mbah a Moute at SF, but thus far Skiles has been resolute in keeping Maggette in his now-familiar role of sixth man. What do they say about desperate times?
It's pretty unusual for a starting caliber player to have a sub-50% true shooting figure, yet if Bogut returns the Bucks will have all five starters shooting sub-49%. We expect that kind of thing from Brandon Jennings (47% last year), but the entire starting five? Goddamn. Not surprisingly, the Bucks are the only team with an aggregate TS% below 50% (49.2%), and if they keep it up they'd be the first team since 2005 to manage that dubious feat. I can't emphasize it enough: these guys have been utterly horrendous.

Interesting Fanshot on Bucks so far
http://3behindthearc.blogspot.com/2010/11/milwaukee-bucks-early-season-returns.html
What immediately jumps out is how bloody awful Dooling, Salmons, Illy and Brockman have been this season (collective PER of 7.9). When a starter who is a focal point of the offense has a PER of 10 (Salmons), you are going to have a lot of problems. Surprising to me are LRMAM’s stats this year. Though his defensive performance is not terrible, it doesn’t seem to be enough to exonerate his woeful offense on this team. Is he the stopper that we believed him to be? If so, do his numbers merely reflect the fact that he defends the best at five positions? If not, is he the next Malik Allen?
Such a big difference between starting him at PF vs. SF
At PF he’s undersized but he usually finds a way to hang in defensively, and it’s not like his lack of range makes him unique at the 4—just send him to the boards and let him create havoc down there. But at SF it’s a totally different story, especially when he doesn’t have a premier scorer to guard. I think that’s the only real scenario when you want to play him at SF, though the injuries mean he pretty much has to play at SF every night until Delfino and/or CDR come back.
I think if you are going to play Luc at SF then you’d prefer him to next Ilyasova at PF, since Ersan can stretch the floor (in theory, not in practice thus far) with his shooting. Otherwise it’s really tough to keep teams honest when they can give your entire frontline room to shoot jumpers.

there is a reason Sefolosha comes off the bench and doesnt always play at the crunch time for the Thunder

It's a must win...For the 3rd game in the row
Fail.

Detroit is not even as good as Cleveland, and hopefully a few shooters of ours will get back in form.
Gotta kick 'em when they're down
Of course the Pistons will be thinking the exact same thing. Need steady scoring nights from Salmons/Maggette.

With Bogut/Delfino out I’d shake it up and go with Maggette/Luc/Gooden as our starting frontline.

Sounds good to me.
But If we are going to start either Brockman or Sanders I would rather have Sanders.
Our only good news is that the Pistons suck at finishing at the rim, so heres to hoping Bogut’s defensive presence won’t be too missed. (because his offense sure can’t be)

if he cant get it done against the Pistons we should shut it down
That," says LeBron, "is for everyone that watches me play. They witness something special. You're all a witness.
Hope Skiles doesn't bench Jennings again tonight, everyone else sucks at shooting on this
team and they don’t seem to get pulled. At least with Jennings there is a hope that even if he is 1 for 10, he could make the next four shots. If DET is really starting Austin Daye at PF then Drew Gooden should have no excuse for not putting up a fat double double(16pts 13reb) something like that.
Offensive breakout tonight
I see 85 points on the horizon.
I never use a big word when a diminutive word would suffice.
woah Nelly hold on we are in for a xciting ride....crack 85 and Ill break out the fosters

This seems like one of those times where
The Bucks are able to make it close without Bogut for one game and then the next all hell breaks loose on them.

What I would like to see tonight???
Magette register at least 14 free throw attempts, Jennings tally 10 or more assists, and Gooden snare 12+ rebounds. Thats my wish list that would go a long ways towards a Bucks win tonight.
Changing name to Buckssverige tonight
Hi all,
Watching from Sweden tonight. Hoping very much for some energy tonight at least. It seems to me that we have been lacking a little in real team lifting energy plays. An Alley Oop, dunk on someone, big block etc.
Lets see some passion from these guys. And someone attack the hoop like they mean it!

To get up and make a dressing room speech like John Belushi in Animal House.
Chris Bosh said he's happy because he can get League Pass now in Miami. In Toronto, said he didn't have "the good cable."
some Buzz amongst the players and fans would be great
That," says LeBron, "is for everyone that watches me play. They witness something special. You're all a witness.
I was confident about this game
A week or two ago..not so much now…….maybe tonight they shoot 60%…Jennings 8-13……..one of these nights…..
Chris Bosh said he's happy because he can get League Pass now in Miami. In Toronto, said he didn't have "the good cable."

doesn't seem to stop us from chucking them up, does it, Magette has missed two open 17 footers
Gooden has missed 3 open 18/20 footers, Jennings missed a couple, Maybe Skiles should start fining the players for taking jumpshots and make them drive the ball every time.
Regardless
To be a good team you have to make your jumpshots. We need to trade for Kyle Korver or something

CV replacing Ben Wallace has to be the most messed up defensive substitution of all time
At least defensively

Bogut needs to play tommorow
And Delfino needs to keep taking those Asprins.

Too bad the Pistons are going to win by too many points for Charlie Villanueva to hit a game-winner like Mo. At least he is throwing down dunks and stuff. Happy holidays!
Yi will hit one when we play Washington
Book it.

That will never happen, even to the Bucks:) Yi reminds me of Larry Harris, as bad as things are
at least that guy isn’t driving the car!!!!
I wish Terry Stotts wasn't with the Mavs
We could hire him as offensive coordinator.

Kyle Korver or Ben Gordon would be perfect for this team....
Just sayin…

funny stuff, but its getting to the point of where I'm going to be back checking nbadraftnet.com
again to see whose available in the lottery next summer and trying to figure out who the Bucks will be picking…
We need to make Boykins into this year's Ridnour
I need to slap myself.

This season really has gotten desperate
We need to shake things up, but what can we do? How about getting an actual three point threat, for starters. Then figure out some way to rescind Salmons near fully guaranteed contract. There is a stats revolution sweeping the nation which has given some GMs a distinct advantage in analyzing personnel moves. Somehow I feel like Hammond is one of the old school guys getting left behind.

No, last year he was good
He’s not being used well in an offense that doesn’t suit his talents. It’s hard to get in a flow when your minutes fluctuate wildly each night and you play in a second unit with a point guard who is as clueless as they come.

Also, he’s playing for a small market team in the Midwest now and he doesn’t get half of the calls (deserved or not) that he used to. He’s not a good enough shooter and is probably too old to adapt his game at this point. It’s frustrating that he never gets a call in crunchtime.

2/14 on triples, this is the gang that can't shoot at all, the only guy on this roster that
you could call a “shooter” is Carlos Delfino.
The Bucks are driving me to be amazed at even the simplest of offensive feats
