Why has our defense sucked so far?

[OneBadMutha]

Is there a worse defensive PG tandem than Jennings/Bynum in the entire league? Just checking. Because if there isn't, considering how many really good offensive PGs they play against, the Pistons need to change something.

cannot defend the 3 or slashing guards

Can't play the pick and roll.

Overplay on help defense in the post leaving guys wide open or leading to swing passes around the perimeter to a wide open guy.

Poor man defense on the perimeter.

Drummoose play too many minutes. But yea it's mostly a perimeter problem.

Apart from the rotations issues, I think one of our biggest problem is that we gamble way too much.

It usually starts with Jennings who is reaching right down the court, once his man gets around him the whole defense gets scrambled and desperately tries to rotate, which results in wide open 3s.

When we get steals and get out in transition it looks great, but we need to strike some sort of balance.
