San Antonio Spurs (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/san-antonio-spurs) (25-11) at Detroit Pistons (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/detroit-pistons) (19-15)

December 30, 2017 | 6:00 pm CDT

Watch: FSSW; Listen: 1200 AM WOAI

Spurs injuries: Rudy Gay (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21735/rudy-gay) (heel)
Pistons injuries: Reggie Jackson (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/150206/reggie-jackson) (ankle), Jon Leuer (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/150195/jon-leuer) (ankle)

It’s been a tale of two seasons for the Detroit Pistons thus far. They kicked off the year with an impressive 14-6 start, which included marquee road victories over the Warriors (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/golden-state-warriors) and Celtics (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/boston-celtics). But since the calendar flipped to December, the Pistons have tumbled to a 5-9 record. That once promising beginning felt like more of a fluke than anything else.
Detroit is nearing a fork in the road for their season: can they push for a high seed in the eternally-weak Eastern Conference or are they doomed to another year of mediocrity?
Offensive inconsistency

If the Pistons want to get back in the thick of things, it has to start on this end of the floor, where the offense has been subject to high variability: in wins, they average 109.3 ppg, compared to only 94.0 in losses. That difference is absolutely staggering. For perspective, their offense in wins is good enough for sixth in the league and well below dead last in their losses.
Usually it’s difficult to pinpoint the source of such problems, but my goodness is it abundantly clear in this case. Tobias Harris (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/150196/tobias-harris), their leading scorer, shoots 49% from the field and 50% from three in wins. In losses, those numbers plummet to 40% and 34%. When Harris is hitting his shots, the Pistons are winning more likely than not.
The question, of course, is who is the real Tobias Harris? If we compare these win-loss numbers to his career averages, the results aren’t so promising for Detroit:
Tobias Harris offensive production




FG%
3P%
TS%
USG%
PPG




17-18 wins
50.2
52
63.1
23.4
20.8


17-18 losses

50.5
21.2
14.5


Career
46.7
34.7
55.4
21.7
14.1




It looks like Harris is due for some regression, especially in terms of his scorching three-point shooting. Tobias’ inconsistency is problematic for head coach Stan van Gundy, because there aren’t many other dependable ball-handlers on the roster, especially with Reggie Jackson sidelined for the next six to eight weeks. What has kept Detroit close in their cold shooting games is...
Impressive defense

Interestingly, we do not see much of a discrepancy in points allowed per game between wins (99.2) and losses (105.0). Several factors deserve credit for this consistency: SVG’s coaching, Anthony Tolliver (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/24721/anthony-tolliver)’s unexpected contributions (https://www.detroitbadboys.com/2017/12/25/16810304/the-close-out-detroits-tolliver-remains-teams-unsung-hero-andre-drummond-stan-van-gundy) and Avery Bradley (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/111899/avery-bradley)’s lockdown defense.
They still have room for improvement. Andre Drummond (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/157959/andre-drummond), in particular, has the physical stature to dominate the paint every night but is consistently plagued with foul trouble. Because of this, there is often an easy path to the rim and opponents seize the opportunity: Detroit allows the seventh highest field goal percentage within six feet of the hoop.
As solid as Detroit’s defense has been and brilliant as it could be, it will likely not propel them into the NBA’s top tier. The Pistons have had similar defensive statistics for the past four seasons with just one playoff appearance (a first round exit) to show for it. They need their offense, particularly Harris to knock down shots. If he can’t tonight, it could be another rough night in a miserable month for Detroit.
Matchup to watch: LaMarcus Aldridge (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/21819/lamarcus-aldridge) vs. Andre Drummond. This should be an intriguing matchup if only to see two diametrically opposing play styles face off against one another. On a rudimentary level, Drummond is a hulk of a man who’s looking to add more finesse to his game, while Aldridge is a cerebral player being asked to ramp up the aggression. Andre is a notoriously atrocious defender and LMA famously hates battling bulky bigs in the paint, so expect some impressive offensive stats from these two tonight.
Vegas line: Spurs by 6.
Game prediction: Spurs by 5.

That was an interesting read.
One wonders first that he probably wanted more money.
Then, it doesn't seem he was guaranteed minutes or he didn't consider the Spurs a true contender. I can't imagine the Spurs not wanting him back.

Davis too, in limited minutes. :tu

Tony Parker has now scored double figures in 930 career games. Only two point guards in NBA history with more: Gary Payton (1,035) and John Stockton (1,061)

Bruh, look at at the injury report in that tweet :lol..

They still have Ish Smith at PG, someone who has killed the Spurs in the past, and plenty of scrubs to go off. Tobias Harris has also been fluky from three all season, so it wouldn't surprise me if he took it to another level and canned in 10 of them tonight.

[spurs10]

Spurs by 3. Super game thread!! Go Spurs! Whenever we play The Motor City I can't help but think of 2005....that was badass by anyone's standard...loved 2014 too and was glad we did in in 5 after ....well you know what!

Going to be 1-3 Spurs are very flat and being outplayed in all aspects early on

[spursistan]

Kawhi looking flat out awful..Gonna be a long night night smh..

[Ron Swanson]

Ish Smith and Langston Galloway?

This shit is over.

[Robz4000]

Spurs didn't show up to play

[Leetonidas]

Spurs offense is cancer

[bklynspursfan]

Sloppy start, but we should be fine. Getting some good looks

[ElNono]

Maybe he’s tired?

Doesn't matter if you cannot hit shots. Spurs are likely done - 11 points so far.

[NASpurs]

Ish Smith and Langston Galloway?

This shit is over.

I would had gone with "This ish is over".

[BillMc]

Chip away, no reason to panic - yet.

[NASpurs]

Lauvergne in the game? Pop's already getting the plane warmed up for the Knicks game on Tuesday.

[Ron Swanson]

I would had gone with "This ish is over".

Yeah, I missed that one.

[Darius Bieber]

Anyone still think this trash team is a contender?

[bklynspursfan]

Doesn't matter if you cannot hit shots. Spurs are likely done - 11 points so far.

They aren't done... Sheesh. Its the 1st quarter. The panic on this site is crazy.

[NASpurs]

At least the Spurs have been known to be road warriors this year with that gaudy 8-9 road record.

[ducks]

Lma needs more shots

[BillMc]

Did Davis screw something up to get pulled so quickly?

[Rummpd]

23% shooting, no effort on defense, 0-7 in fast break points. All in all a terrible quarter.

[SAGirl]

Bench in disarray. Pop benching both Pau and LMA just bc he wants to make things more interesting. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

23% shooting, no effort on defense, 0-7 in fast break points. All in all a terrible quarter.

And a single digit game...

[Rummpd]

Boban dunks...

[bklynspursfan]

Bench in disarray. Pop benching both Pau and LMA just bc he wants to make things more interesting. :lol

Think he just isn't happy with the overall effort of the starters and changed em all out. energy is better with the bench thus far

[SAGirl]

Did Davis screw something up to get pulled so quickly?
No. Bench looked in disarray as a whole.

I thought Pop chose Joff bc of matchups and bc he wanted someone who played in the paint. Other than that, no idea.

[ElNono]

Bench finally making a run...

[NASpurs]

Lauvergne is such a faggot.

[Chinook]

J:lolff

[ElNono]

Rofl Joff is horrible

[Robz4000]

Spurs getting no calls, per par.

[NASpurs]

Is it too late to cut Joff Ayres?

[NASpurs]

This nigga is trying to shoot 3s now... smh.

[Robz4000]

How the fuck is Lauvergne still on this team?

[timtonymanu]

People expect this team to be a contender with how horrible they are on the road :lol

[LittleCriminal]

How the fuck is Lauvergne still on this team?

Throw in Anderson in that equation too

[ElNono]

Kobe and Tony in, Pistons 4-0 run

[TimDunkem]

People expect this team to be a contender with how horrible they are on the road :lol

Kawhi is back and is going to lead this scrubby team to the title. Didn't you hear?

[SAGirl]

Is it too late to cut Joff Ayres?
He has a player option for next season. But Spurs need to shop around for a different center if Pop doesn't want to split LMA and Pau up.

[SAGirl]

Kobe and Tony in, Pistons 4-0 run
:lol

[Robz4000]

These are the kind of games Gay would've been nice to have.

These are the kind of games Gay would've been nice to have.

Dejounte would had been nice too.

The W-L record with Kiwi back is going to look ugly this season if the Spurs lose this.

[Chinook]

Green still can't run, and Pop is playing the shit out of him.

[Robz4000]

Kawhi looks absolutely awful in every facet of the game. The fact he looks so bad physically is just depressing.

[timtonymanu]

Smh just throw in the towel. Goddamn this team and their slow starts. We’re gonna be playing catch up all game again.

[NASpurs]

Thank goodness Bradley and Reggie Jackson and half their team aren't playing, this could had been ugly.

[ElNono]

Starters just don’t want to compete

[TimDunkem]

What's the point of even playing Kawhi if he isn't going to see the ball?

[phxspurfan]

were playing the steroid Grizzlies tonite apparently



+ ish smith aka MJ

[Robz4000]

What's the point of even playing Kawhi if he isn't going to see the ball?

He's seen the ball plenty, that's the problem. He can't get by any defender, his speed is nonexistent.

[spursistan]

Kawhi looks absolutely awful in every facet of the game. The fact he looks so bad physically is just depressing.
Fully expecting him to be shutdown for the season if he still looks this bad by the All-Star break..

[SAGirl]

Kiwi is seeing the ball, he's just not playing well right now.

[bklynspursfan]

Smh just throw in the towel. Goddamn this team and their slow starts. We’re gonna be playing catch up all game again.

We know they are the comeback kids, no reason to throw the towel.

Spurs are below .500 when trailing by 10 at any point in the game this season.

What's their record? We can probably add a W to that after tonight

[spurs10]

We might crack 34 in the half!!

TP sits down, Spurs 6-0 run...
Not his fault shots missing

[boutons_deux]

34% in 1st half, :lol again

[timtonymanu]

We know they are the comeback kids, no reason to throw the towel.

Much better defensively this quarter

[bklynspursfan]

Vegas didn't think we were done either, we got down 15 and SA was only a +150 to win. Even down 5 now, Detroit had quickly became underdogs

[Rummpd]

32 points and only down 5 pretty amazing. Spurs could not have played worse yet right there as dealing with a hurt mediocre opponent.

[ducks]

Spurs could be ahead at half

[SAGirl]

The team knows and has learned to play around Aldridge. They don't know hwo to play around Kiwi.

[Chinook]

First time in a long time that I've seen that post-up out of motion weak happen on time.

[bklynspursfan]

Anderson shouldn't have went under that screen there, gave him too much space

[ElNono]

Manu woke up, we’re back in the game

[bklynspursfan]

3 point game going into the half. There was no way Detroit could play as well as they did and we play as poorly as we did

[Robz4000]

Murray desperately needs to learn to shoot.

[ElNono]

Not his fault shots missing

His fault Pistons couldn’t miss

[ducks]

36 not 34 at half watch spurs score 34 in 3

[ducks]

His fault Pistons couldn’t miss

Yes he guards all players

[ElNono]

Hopefully Parker is done for the season

[Robz4000]

3 point game going into the half. There was no way Detroit could play as well as they did and we play as poorly as we did

Detroit didn't play well, otherwise the lead would've been 20+. Defense was never the issue for the Spurs, but how bad the Spurs played on offense.

[ElNono]

Yes he guards all players

Yes

[spurs10]

Nice ball movement on that last play...Murray wide open. Think we will come out strong in the 3rd!!

[timtonymanu]

Nono keeping the Parker hate schtick alive

[ElNono]

Murray desperately needs to learn to shoot.

Hope he starts in the 3rd quarter

[SAGirl]

Pop might need to swing a trade. They need a big. True that they miss Rudy, but frankly are you putting all eggs in the basket of Rudy remaining healthy all season... a guy who has had that ankle pain on and off through the season, has bursitis, and suffered an achilles heel injury not even a full year ago?

[NASpurs]

Hope he starts in the 3rd quarter

Easy win if he does.

[ducks]

Manu woke up, we’re back in the game

Spurs had it going when pop benched Leonard for manu
Leonard was not pleased

[ElNono]

Nono keeping the Parker hate schtick alive

I give him credit when he doesn’t suck. He just doesn’t give me reasons to often enough anymore.

[BillMc]

No. Bench looked in disarray as a whole.

I thought Pop chose Joff bc of matchups and bc he wanted someone who played in the paint. Other than that, no idea.

Thanks. Obviously Davis shouldn't guard Boban (though Boban couldn't guard Davis either) but Bertans was pulled for Joff before that.

[ducks]

Yes

Holding pistons to 39 for half is impressive
D has been fine

[ElNono]

Tony Parker team’s worst -12 at the half. How is that hate?

[LakerHater]

Murray needs to move in with Chip!

So Anderson is the best plus player so by your logic he is better then all spurs over 10 minutes

[ElNono]

So Anderson is the best plus player so by your logic he is better then all spurs

He played well that half, alongside with Manu and Murray...

[ducks]

Murray played 5 minutes out of possible 24

[ElNono]

-12!!!

[Robz4000]

Fathead earned his +/- tbh, he's been great.

[bklynspursfan]

Detroit didn't play well, otherwise the lead would've been 20+. Defense was never the issue for the Spurs, but how bad the Spurs played on offense.

I think they did play well right out the gate. They expectedly slowed down. We weren't gonna shoot 24% all night tho

[ducks]

Spurs had good looks and missed when starters were in still shooting 31 percent. 25 from deep

[ElNono]

Should Pop sit Danny? He’s gonna need him for Manus rest on b2bs

[ducks]

Hopefully Parker is done for the season

Pure hate there

[SAGirl]

Thanks to Manu, Murray
and some to anderson... frankly.

2-3 minutes of game and Kiwi looks exhausted with hands on his legs and panting.

2nd round exit is on par with expectations when you look at the make up of the roster.

not everybody...just forbes

Murray/Green/Fathead/Kawhi/LMA

Do it Pop
You want us to only have one shooter (Kawhi)?

They're shooting like shit as it is. At least that unit can defend and control the boards.

63-55 that was probably the dagger.

Great setup by Manu. Weak 'finish' by Pau.

[NASpurs]

Hopefully the Spurs can crack 80 tonight. That'll be a moral victory in itself.

[LakerHater]

Fuuuck, Manu had that lay up!!

[TheGreatYacht]

What does Manure Ginose even do? Tbh

[boutons_deux]

If spurs could shoot 35%, they'd win

[ducks]

Van Gundy continues to play "whoever Manure is guarding" offense

But Tony gave up all points he guards everyone even on bench

[Robz4000]

Just find a way to win Spurs. Figured y'all would struggle even with Detroit missing half their team.

[LakerHater]

not everybody...just forbes
Got by Tony, Patty, Kyle & Gino!

[bklynspursfan]

Here comes our highest scoring quarter

[NASpurs]

4 point deficit feels like being down 10 with the way the team is shooting tonight.

[Hoops Czar]

Ginobili clanks a three badly then blows by his defender and passes the ball to a covered Pau Gasol instead of shooting the uncontested lay up.

[Robz4000]

:lmao that defense

[ducks]

Spurs shot 55 this quarter they win

[TheGreatYacht]

Van Gundy using and abusing our Mexican like the liberal he is. SAD!

[bklynspursfan]

Seems the Pistons PA guy announces our guys by last name when they hit a shot. shame Rudy is out

[cutewizard]

any working links guys??

[Robz4000]

Dagger

[NASpurs]

And then people wonder why this team is 8-9 on the road. :lol

[ducks]

Put lma in

[NASpurs]

Token NBA white guy going off.

[TheGreatYacht]

This white American following in Langston Galloway's steps when it comes to using Manure as a cum rag

[ElNono]

Why is Murray in the doghouse, tbh? He played well in the 1st half

[Leetonidas]

Lol getting torched by Reggie bullock and some pasty white dude no one's heard of :lmao

[NASpurs]

Why is Murray in the doghouse, tbh? He played well in the 1st half

Because Parker has 4 rebounds.

[Robz4000]

Why is Murray in the doghouse, tbh? He played well in the 1st half

Wish someone would put Pop in the doghouse.

[TheGreatYacht]

Better than Manure tbh. If he breathes he'll already be an upgrade

[Leetonidas]

Manu has also been a fucking disaster this game....just sit him down tbh. Not his night

[timtonymanu]

I guess Luke Babbitt is today’s scrub of the night.

[Rummpd]

Good night - turn out the lights - pathetic effort and execution all game.

[ducks]

Lol getting torched by Reggie bullock and some pasty white dude no one's heard of :lmao

They play great d over Tony no d Parker though ask elno

[ducks]

Wish someone would put Pop in the doghouse.

Trump has

[ElNono]

Manu has been trying to drag this team from the hole the starters dug up in both the 1st and 2nd half

[SAGirl]

I have said b4... I have no idea what is up with Pop's rotations.

[ducks]

To leonard

[Splits]

Bryn Forbes sucks.

[NASpurs]

I wouldn't put it past this team to take it up the ass on Tuesday against the Knicks.

[TheGreatYacht]

Shooting guards write down the Spurs on their calendars. It's obvious. Who will stop them? G-League and Manure? HAAA

[ducks]

Manu has been trying to drag this team from the hole the starters dug up in both the 1st and 2nd half

Manu is sucking

[Robz4000]

This team has no chance in a series if they're gonna play this bad on the road consistently.

[NASpurs]

"Kannard already on a career night" of course...

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu has been trying to drag this team from the hole the starters dug up in both the 1st and 2nd half
:lmao more like he's putting his mummified carcass into that hole and burying himself

[ElNono]

white American drawing fouls on Kiwi... wtf

[timtonymanu]

Game. Told you it was gonna be catch up all game. Happens most of the time when this team trails by double digits after 1.
