Growing Pains: Detroit Pistons Not Quite Ready for Showtime

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:36:42 +0000

So far this season, the Detroit Pistons have been a hard team to figure out. Some nights they appear to be a fairly cohesive bunch, able to execute equally well with their bench and first unit. Other nights, like Tuesday, they show how far they have left to go before they can reach elite status. The Pistons began their first four-game trip out west with a 106-93 thumping by the Los Angeles Lakers. For Detroit, this West Coast trip represents the first barometer for Detroit to measure itself against. Thus far this season, Detroit has played mainly second and third tier NBA teams with varying levels of success. In order for the Pistons to become the best, they need to play the best, and there is arguably nobody better than the defending champion Lakers. The result was not entirely unexpected for those that have been following this team. However, teams tend to learn more about themselves from a defeat than they do from a victory, so let's explore what can be deciphered from this latest loss ...

The Other Side: Detroit Pistons

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 18:45:32 +0000

Bynumite! It's on you, Earl. (Photo by Allen Einstein/NBAE via Getty Images) Who would've guessed that Flip Saunders would be looking up at the Detroit Pistons in the standings when he faced his former team for the first time? The new-look Pistons (4-4) are looking to win their third game in a row tonight at Verizon Center. Newcomers Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva are averaging close to 40 points per game combined and Ben Wallace has been reborn, averaging 9.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocked shots. 1. So much for a reunion. Saunders won't get to see Richard Hamilton and Tayshaun Prince because both players are out with injuries. Hamilton has missed all but one game this season with a sprained right ankle and might not play until the Pistons' west coast trip. Prince is out indefinitely with a ruptured disk in his back. At least there's Ben Wallace, who

Pistons Crush Bobcats Behind Villanueva's Third Quarter Explosion

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:27:31 +0000

The Detroit Pistons trounced the Charlotte Bobcats 98-75 in Wednesday's game. The win puts Detroit at .500 and tied for third in the Central division with Chicago. Charlie Villanueva looked amazing in the third quarter. The Bobcats were slow to close out on him early in the quarter and he made them pay by hitting his perimeter shots. Once they started to venture out, to more heavily contest his shots, he began burning people off the dribble. On his own he outscored Charlotte in the third quarter, racking up 18 points on 8-10 shooting while the Bobcats only managed 12. He seems to have put his sluggish start far behind him, averaging 22.5 points in the last four games. Another great sign for the Pistons is their assist total at a season high 26. They all seem to be getting more comfortable knowing were to find each other on the court, especially Ben Gordon and Villanueva. Gordon dumped the ball off to the tune of eight assists. Many of those were to Charlie, including a nice no-looker to set ...
