Nuggets are undefeated with Chauncey.. Pistons got their first win tonight with AI... did you notice?
Yeah I noticed. It's going to be an interesting dynamic with AI on the Pistons. Chauncey is the type of PG that can fit into pretty much any team... excellent shooter, good passer, very few turnovers. With AI here, our whole offense is different. Sheed seems like he just wants to hover outside and watch. Tayshaun is playing great with AI but Rip hasn't gotten his groove yet. I think it will work out OK but the whole ball movement, jump shooting offense is now different. AI is good for bigs who like to bang inside because he can penetrate, draw attention and then dish.
But realistically, they can sleepwalk to 50 wins. The issue becomes whether the team will be better prepared in the playoffs.
How great would a Detroit-Miami (2-7) first round playoff series be?
