Sounds weird to say, but the Pistons are on pace to win 43 games this, and 47 games if you are looking from November 1st.
Who predicted a 47 win season this year?

3-3 so 8-11 overall
Pistons next 6 games, 5 of which are also against sub .500 teams, and the one above .500 won't have their best player. Pistons currently sit 5-8, what would you expect their record to be after the next 6?

THJ back in the starting line up. Chicago Bulls rank 24th in offense and 25th in defense.
This is another game you hope the guys come out and prove they start to really separate themselves from the bottom of the league, especially as this gets them to .500.

2-0 after the first two, the next 3 should be a bit tougher.
I think you’d be excited taking 2 of the next 3.

I’m starting the Stew for All-NBA defense agenda now.
4th in DRtg for centers. (Min 10 GP)
2nd in DFG% for centers (Min 10 GP)
Leading a team that was ranked 25th in Drtg last year to now top 10. He’s in the 80th percentile for differential on On/Off with a +8.9.
Give this man his flowers.

Stew put up a 80 DRtg last night in 24 minutes. Thats so nasty. On top of that he put up nearly the highest ORtg as well (though it was pretty bad all around for the team).
We need to give Stew his flowers, he IS the team defensive identity so far.

One thing I hope to see improve over the course of the season is consistent halves. In the last 5 games, the Pistons have come out with much less energy.
Detroit Pistons 1H Defense (DRtg): 95.2 (!?) 1st in the NBA

Cade Cunningham has 122 FGA on drives this year, which puts him at 2nd in the NBA, only trailing SGA by 2 FGA. 3rd highest is 94 FGA, or a 28 FGA gap.
Cade is 10th in total FTA from drives. Guys like Franz Wagner, James Harden, Ant, Cam Thomas all have higher FTAs even with 40-50 less FGA.

Pistons had 49 drives vs 49 drives from the Bucks last night.
Pistons had 37 shots in the RA vs 31 from the Bucks last night.
Bucks had 25 FTs vs 13 for Detroit (2 of them being technical FTs)
I know Giannis will get calls, you can't stop him, but Detroit has to get calls eventually.

Pistons have a very winnable next 6 games. One thing I need to see as we play mostly lottery teams in these coming games is an improvement in turnover differential.
Pistons currently have the worst in the league with -62.

Pistons Shooting Breakdown:
Pull-up Jump Shots
FGA: 26.3 (8th)
FGM: 9.3 (10th)
EFG%: 41.3% (27th)
C&S Jump Shots
FGA: 24.5 (26th)
FGM: 9.3 (21st)
EFG: 56.0% (14th)
This is a good indicator of the offense breaking down, especially when the team only has two reliable creators.

Pistons without Simone Fontecchio, Tim Hardaway, and Jaden Ivey. Considering JB runs a 9-man rotation, I expect heavy minutes from the usuals, but big game to show up for Ron Holland and potentially guys like Marcus Sasser.
