Pistons against Grizzle’s preview: Detroit has won a playoff place, but they have to continue

The Detroit Pistons will be in the post -season for the first time since 2019. You have the opportunity to win a playoff game for the first time since 2008. However, the job is not done. JB Bickerstaff has not lost sight of the overall picture.

Detroit will probably be the 5th or 6th seeds in the Eastern Conference. That means a date with the Indiana Pacers or New York Knicks is on the table. New York seems to be the better matchup for the pistons, but Cade Cunningham has the game to be the best player on the floor against both teams.

He missed the last six games with a calf splendor, but last night a certain optimism with his questionable name in the game was made available compared to the Toronto Raptors. Tonight he was updated for probable update. It looks like the team is ready to bring it to Playoff games and in top shape.

Let us go healthy and ready with a playoff seeds, but on the other hand you want him to play a few games of the regular season to drop some rust. He is again questionable this evening against a Memphis Grizzles team with a bin for which you can play. You want to sit from the Western Conference game and 45 wins. This conference is brutal.

((Note from the publisher: Pay attention to this game because I know that a special contingent of DBB believers goes to this game together. I know that there are some special off-camera things that will hopefully get through, but there is also an chance that there is also a call on the camera. Regardless of whether it is in the air or not, it is only possible because the community we built here is really something special. Detroit Bad Boys is one of the most important fan communities on the Internet in his 20th year and believe me that it is not because the pistons were good. It is because everyone here not only supports the team, but also supports each other. The fan experience is something special. It creates ties and brotherhoods. That’s why I’m still doing it. The pistons are back in the playoffs and in a way it feels as if we have made it to the other side of a dark chapter. But the story of DBB never stops, and his community has always been a bright light. So thanks.)

analysis

This will certainly be an up-and-down game between two teams that thrive during the quick break. Detroit is not as dynamic in the Fast Break Department, without Cade, but they still use these lively legs. Memphis, on the other hand, is fully loaded and ready to go.

The Grizzlies have a theater play in which Morant buried a game winner about 7-foot-Kel’el-goods and Miami Heat. Morant did not play the standards this year. He has always been a serious threat, but the grizzles are dead this year in the PNR frequency.

Her offensive is based on more passport and cut, which led to a free crime under the former coach Taylor Jenkins. Morant has taken it to Tuomas Iisalo since the change of coaching, scored 29 points and surprisingly shot 40% of three to volume. Memphis still loses his minutes in this small rehearsal with four games. Jaren Jackson Jr., on the other hand, has been her best player all year round and he has been +19 in the past four years.

Jackson Jr. will be dealing with the return of Isaiah Stweart this evening. This is a mutual elite two ways against one of the best big defenders involved. With Tobias Harris, the pistons do not have many size options to deal with the Ginororous Frontcourt by Jackson Jr. and Rookie Zach Edey when he is out.

Stew and Jalen Duren lists are not widespread (eight minutes this year), but the Grizzles does not feed the Goliath Edey in the post so much that an NBA trainer from the 1990s would like to. The pistons were able to force the grizzles to reduce Dennis Schröder, Ausar Thompson and Marcus Sasser with the downhill driving.

These boys are not foul drawing machines, but Jackson Jr. will save them with constant pressure so that Jackson Jr. is still one of the bad bigs (38th percentile in a poor percentage).

EDEY will deal with one of the strongest forces in Jalen Duren. Duren dominated the raptors last night, and it was fun that his game rose again for others. It is one of the most fascinating aspects of the upcoming Playoff series from Detroit. His piece will move a lot forward.

The shootout of Tim Hardway Jr. and Malik Beasley (two 3s of 300) can bend the defense in the playoffs. Hardaway Jr. in particular has sizzled over the last five certificates. 51% of three are difficult to maintain, but Detroit has to bury as many as possible, considering that Knicks and Pacer’s team’s schedule is carried out by the 3-point line.

Projected constellations:

Detroit Pistons (43-34)

Cade Cunningham, Tim Hardaway, Ausar Thompson, Tobias Harris, Jalen Duren

Memphis Grizzles (45-32)

Yes Morant, Desmond Bane, Jaylen Wells, Jaren Jackson Jr., Zach Edey
