On the Pistons: Detroit Bad Boys / Piston Powered / Need4Sheed

The Milwaukee Bucks (3-6) should beat the Detroit Pistons (2-8) when they host them on Thursday night. Why? The Milwaukee Bucks are a better basketball team. Injuries, schminjuries. There are no excuses or circumstances that can alter the calculus enough to make a loss to the Pistons anything other than a brutal letdown. If the Bucks want to be anything other than a lottery team in the 2011-12 season, they need to win games like this against teams like Detroit. At this point you might be saying to yourself: "Steve, are you sure you want to go this hard on an NBA game so early in the season against a division opponent?" Yes, and I'll double-down on it: the Milwaukee Bucks must beat the Detroit Pistons. Allow me to explain...

Update: According to Jim Paschke's twitter account, Jon Leuer will make his first career start tonight.

Star-divide

Lawrence Frank's squad limps into Milwaukee on a six-game losing streak in which each loss has come by a margin of 14 points or more. The Pistons aren't just losing, they are consistently getting blown out. On Monday they not only broke a 32-year old franchise mark by losing their fourth consecutive game by at least 16 points in a 92-68 loss to the Chicago Bulls, but also managed to post their fewest points ever against the Bulls in the entire 260-game head-to-head history between the two teams. Detroit currently carries the dual burden of the second-worst offensive efficiency in the NBA and the third-worst defensive efficiency. An average game for the Pistons so far this season is a 12-point loss. Everyone knows the Pistons are bad at basketball, including their fan base. The team is currently last in the league in official attendance and even trails the Sacramento Kings by more than 3,000 fans per game. It is so bad right now that SB Nation's Pistons' blog, Detroit Bad Boys, is actually pining for the return of the injured Charlie Villanueva after the most recent loss to the Dallas Mavericks:

The Pistons are a bad, bad team and can't deal with injuries to key players, including the much maligned Rodney Stuckey and Charlie Villanueva, neither of whom played Tuesday. As I said in my game preview, the offense would look a lot smoother if Stuckey was taking care of the ball and Villanueva was out on the perimeter unafraid to take an open shot.

Okay, so the Pistons are terrible, but are the Bucks any good? After an impressive 106-103 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night, the Bucks enter Thursday's contest as one of only five NBA teams with a perfect record at home. That list of remaining team puts Milwaukee in great company with the Chicago Bulls (4-0), Indiana Pacers (4-0), Philadelphia 76ers (4-0) and San Antonio Spurs (7-0). Don't expect Stephen Jackson to put up 34 points on 12-17 shooting every night, but if he can find a happy medium between his early season clunkers and his most recent performance, it would go a long way towards stabilizing the Bucks' offense. Brandon Jennings put together a nice offensive effort against the Spurs as well, scoring 15 points on 57.7% TS and adding a team-high 11 assists. In the first half, Young Buck initiated offensive sets largely without running pick-and-roll (instead using simple wing entries and then clearing out to the weak side) and worked primarily as a spot up option, so keep your eyes on how Skiles elects to use him against Detroit. Taking away his temptation to shoot off the dribble in the first half allowed Jennings to post 9 points on 4-5 shooting and 8 assists through the first 24 minutes of game action.

The biggest question outside of Jackson and Jennings for the Bucks is what will happen at power forward over the next few weeks. Rookie second-round pick Jon Leuer has been outplaying Ersan Ilyasova on a nightly basis, while rookie first-round pick Tobias Harris has flashed a strong low-post game in his NBA first action -- he's 7-8 on posts ups this season, according to Synergy. And not to be forgotten is former starter Luc Mbah a Moute, who's missed all but one game with knee tendinitis but could also return soon. Scott Skiles doesn't consider Ersan an ideal starter at PF, but will he turn to one of the rookies any time soon?

If Rodney Stuckey misses the game with a groin injury, Jennings will get to face off against Brandon Knight, the rookie point guard out of the University of Kentucky that is still trying to find his way in the NBA. After struggling to contain pick-and-roll masters Steve Nash and Tony Parker, Knight's 2.7 assists per game average and 51.2% TS signals the job will get a whole lot simpler for Jennings and the Bucks on Thursday at the Bradley Center. Make no mistake, the Milwaukee Bucks must beat the Detroit Pistons.

Agreed with how hard you went on this call Steve

Anything other than a win will be disillusioning. A loss would undo an epic against the spurs. A solid win here will build confidence against a tough schedule and have home fans wanting more.

Hopefully hard work and an even team performance will get the job done!

I think this could be a letdown game,

especially after a solid win the other night. Haven’t we struggled against there big guards the last few years ? I think I remember Skiles saying that the last few times we have played them.
Awell hoping as always from a big night from Bogut, and a solid win.

IIRC one of our big letdown games of last season was vs. Detroit

Stuckey’s size has given Jennings problems, so his absence would help. But this is the NBA—the Bucks are easily capable of losing to any team, just as they’re capable of beating any team. Detroit would seem due for a non-awful game, but you just hope the Bucks come out focused and take care of business.

by Frank Madden on Jan 12, 2012 6:40 AM CST up reply actions  

Think the Bucks really want this one

Try to stabilize their earthquake of a season so far. Try to convince themselves and others that they are getting it together.

But as Frank cautions, the Bucks intent and the Vegas line (assuming there is one) are not going to determine the winner. Factors on the court will. So far, the Bucks are highly erratic in controlling the factors on the floor. Good teams control the flow. The Bucks try to deal with whatever flow they find.

I hope it’s a game where Hobson gets 16 minutes ‘cuz it ain’t close. But that’s just a hope. Am also rooting for Steve to be right and me to be wrong.

prefer the good kind to the bad

but 16 mins of Hobson would be a silver lining if the game goes bad

if objectivity is a virtue here

I should probably say if Hobson played 16 minutes he’d probably do 3 things that mildly encouraged his supporters. And otherwise be sorta hard to pick out. He has yet to learn dominance.

OR NOT>>>

Let down games usually implies one has a streak of wins, winning record, or the loss would be surprizing due to the talent divide? I"m not sure Milwaukee has establish enough of anything to consider any game a “let down game”, and / or “trap game”.

They just don’t have any cred, or siginificant up-side right now for such proclamations.>>>.

I believe most people would think that there is a definite "talent divide" between these two teams-

and given the Pistons’ recent history, it doesn’t look like anybody should be losing to them. To me that means if we lost it would be a letdown. Completely.

i don't mind asking

episode of what?

and why did CB have the exact wording close at hand?

maybe he’s a screenwriter banished to Canada by Joe McCarthy eons ago.

I’m almost done reading a memoir by James Garner (of Rockford Files and Maverick). Don’t recall a chihuahua. Garner is interesting for an ordinary guy. Smart but purposely not sophisticated. Gorgeous (women said) but not full of himself. “Active” with women but not a womanizer. Never devalued his companions. Shy as an actor, but confident too. More interesting as an actor because the calm, relaxed humorous outside covered an inside full of conflict. Audiences could sense that, without thinking it.

Loyal as Principle #1. His loyalty, deep and long-term, made many, many friends and simplified his life by avoiding jerks and their games. To the limited extend possible in Hollywood. His radar separated real people from phonies, and he spoke plainly about the phonies. And sued and won when they tried to screw him.

Big temper started many fistfights. Grew up believing you fight when you’ve been treated poorly, when you’ve been dissed. At the same time, he was a pacifist in spirit. And a definite liberal. Abused as a kid.

A guy who rode his good looks, his big smile, and his learned & practiced charm (which was still real or at least the closest thing to it) to being rich, loved and admired professionally. Still never believed in the fame and lived as ordinary a life as was possible. BIG golf player (not my sport). Raced formula/stock cars (not my sport). Participated in charities. Spent most time with his wife (a rapid, whirlwind courtship) and with friends he was close to for many decades.

Love those movies with Garner and Suzanne Pleshette

I've done a 180

I’d gladly trade Ersan, Gooden and Delfino for youth/picks but I’ll stick with what I have. With Atlanta maybe being out of it I think we should be able to make the playoffs and hope for the best. If it looks like 9th or 10th, then I’ll change but I think we are easily better than 6 teams and 7 if Atlanta can’t replace Horford.

Hey, I'll back you up a little

I’m a bit skeptical that Leuer will do so good as a starter. Yes, he’s done well relative to what you’d expect out of a 2nd round pick, but ‘t know how many minutes he can sustain like that. I mean, he has the same assist rate as Gooden and a lower rebound rate, but he does have a higher TS%. h,He probably has a slight edge on defense though, but I’m more concerned about his physical limitations while Gooden’s is more just mishaps at times.

I've been asking the same question

Though I’ll admit it’s been mostly out of disbelief that Leuer has actually earned the starting position. I keep coming back to the rebounding—I think having him around to clean up Bogut misses is very valuable—but then again, if Leuer can prove himself a capable player on the boards, I suppose there’s no reason not to start him.

Which, again I can’t believe and couldn’t be happier about.

Yeah, strange game in that sense

If he’s scoring as efficiently as he did tonight, tough to get upset. The sheer volume of assists is probably more important than where they’re coming from.

I've seen him doing more spot ups, so I'd expect the opportunities for assists are lower without the ball constantly in his hands.

Good news is that he takes fewer bad shots off the dribble and gets to set his feet off the ball waiting for the pass. On nights the Bucks play better D he can get the assists in transition.

Rebounding numbers were really strange

Monroe dominated the boards for Detroit, but nobody for Milwaukee had more than 6. Leuer was big on the offensive glass but only 2 defensive rebounds. Not sure if it was just a function of where shots were bouncing, but the defensive rebounding troubles are definitely getting a bit worrying.

Smallish sample size

But his performance is a bit concerning
