Forward Charlie Villanueva was one of the big ticket free agents the Pistons brought in to boost the offense but he has failed. He has played in 68 games (16 starts) for the Pistons this season and he is averaging 24.1 minutes, 12.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. He is also only shooting 43.5% from the floor which is really pathetic for a big man. Villanueva is probably laughing all the way to the bank when he’s cashing checks from the Pistons.

The Pistons didn’t play any D last night as the Knicks shot 55.3% from the floor and that doomed them in the end. Rodney Stuckey led the way for the Pistons last night with 16 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. Tayshaun Prince pitched in with 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocked shots last night. Jonas Jerebko also had a solid game with 15 points and 13 rebounds last night. The Pistons are now 21-40 on the year.

The Pistons played hard last night as they outrebounded the Celtics 46-34, but, the Celtics outscored them 33-25 in the 4th quarter and it did the Pistons in. Jonas Jerebko led the way for the Pistons last night with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Tayshaun Prince had his best game in a while as he stuffed the stat sheet with 15 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots. Richard Hamilton continued his recent fine play last night with 15 points and 7 assists. The Pistons are now 21-39 on the year.
