The Pistons played great D last night against the Bucks, holding them to 35.1% shooting from the floor which aided getting them a nice home win. Brandon Knight (26 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists) and Greg Monroe (18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 blocked shot) led the way for the Pistons last night. Tayshaun Prince (13 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists), Rodney Stuckey (10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals) and Jason Maxiell (8 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocked shots) also pitched in with solid games for the Pistons. The Pistons are now 5-20 on the year.

The Pistons got outrebounded 44-31 last night and it was part of the reason they lost in New Jersey. Tayshaun Prince (21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists) and Greg Monroe (21 points, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 blocked shot) led the way for the Pistons in this game. Brandon Knight (15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists), Jonas Jerebko (14 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 blocked shot) and Walker Russell (12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists) also pitched in for the Pistons last night. The Pistons are now 4-20 on the year.

The Pistons outrebounded the Knicks 45-30 last night, but, they played horrid D as the Knicks shot a stunning 60% from the floor! Jonas Jerebko (15 points and 4 rebounds in 15 minutes) and Greg Monroe (13 points, 12 rebounds and 4 steals) led the way for the Pistons in this game. Rodney Stuckey (13 points and 3 assists) and Tayshaun Prince (10 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist) also pitched in for the Pistons. The Pistons are now 4-19 on the year.

The Pistons only shot 38.6% from the floor last night and it did them in. Rodney Stuckey (19 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals) and Greg Monroe (16 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal) led the way for the Pistons in this game. Tayshaun Prince also had a solid game with 14 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 blocked shot. Austin Daye only shot 4 of 14 from the floor but he still finished up with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocked shots. Jonas Jerebko pitched in with 10 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist in only 17 minutes on the floor. The Pistons are now 4-18 on the year.

The Pistons have replaced Jonas Jerebko in the starting lineup with 37-year old Ben Wallace at power forward. This move doesn’t make much sense as Jerebko (24 years old) and Jason Maxiell (28 years old) are part of the Pistons’ future and they should be playing more minutes than Wallace at this point, as they are clearly rebuilding. In his first 8 starts this year, Wallace is averaging 0.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 1.3 blocked shots. Those are pretty awful numbers. Wallace has now played in 21 games (8 starts) for the Pistons so far this year and he is averaging 15.3 minutes, 1.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. The Pistons don’t need to be playing the older guys right now, so I think that Jerebko and Maxiell should be getting all the work at power forward, with Wallace backing up Greg Monroe at center.
