JMAC 3 Keys to the game.
1. Make Cade a passer, he had 30 last game. Take away his right hand drive and make other players make 3s. Thompson, Stewart, Hayes and Ivey are all below average outside shooters.
2. Defensive Rebounding. PJ needs to step up tonight on boards. Pistons had 17 OR in first game vs Miami. Stewart and Duren had 6 each.
3. Ball security, we had 19 turnovers. We actually shot 50% from field vs Atlanta, we just didn't get enough shots at the rim because we were turning it over and in turn giving up easy baskets.

In game one the Pistons lost by one to the Heat so they are a very dangerous team. They are looking at this game as one of the most winnable games on their schedule and I expect we are going to get their best effort tonight.

They played two centers at times vs the Heat. Stewart played 36 min and Duren played 32 min. This allowed the Pistons to dominate the rebounds 56 to 48. The Heat made up for it by having 9 less turnovers.

We could counter with Richards and Mark, but I don't expect that from Clifford.

We probably win either way. We are going to have a good record vs teams that don't shoot well, and get run out of the gym by teams like the Celtics that are full of vets that can shoot. Our big guy is better than the Pistons big guys.

imagine if we had both? no offense to Nick, but 48 minutes of Mark/Duren would be nuts
Also Melo vs Cade
too bad we won't see Frank vs Killan haha
Miller vs Ausar

The over/under on points for Lamelo tonight I'd 20.5. I know he struggled his first game but that has to be an easy bet on the over, right?

Thompson is gonna be a monster. Good pick by DET

Pistons drafted 4 straight ball dominant guards in the top 7.. is that correct? (Cade, Killian, Ivey, Thompson)

Offense is atrocious so far. Lots of ball pounding
