Griffin comes back to Staples to play the team that stabbed him in the back. When he played against the Lakers a couple of days ago he managed all of 16 points and zero rebounds in a blowout loss. Then he rested at Sacramento in another big loss. So he should be ready for a big game today although the Clippers are still favored by 7.
My take is that the Pistons don't have the perimeter shooters to protect their bigs like Denver and Portland does. We can collapse more on Blake and Drummond to prevent them from dominating the paint. Guys like Reggie Bullock (another ex-Clipper) are expected to protect them by shooting threes which isn't much protection. I expect even if the Pistons starters play competitively with us that our much deeper and talented bench should be enough to win this game by double digits. We need every win we can get and Doc is one of the best coaches in the league at beating inferior teams. Should be a fun day game though.
