How many more times will we get to see the Pistons square off against LeBron James?
I fear what Anthony Davis is going to be able to accomplish today against the Detroit Pistons . I fear what Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick will be able to scheme up to create open looks and clear driving lanes for his team. I always fear LeBron James. I’m not sure how excited I am for tonight’s game, which will see the Pistons on the second night of a back-to-back game against the Lakers. But the Pistons are coming off of a win against the Brooklyn Nets , and hopefully, it will reinforce some of the positive habits built into that second half against the Nets. Jalen Duren needs to play smart, engaged defense. The team must take and make their open shots. The team must limit its turnovers. Wash, rinse, repeat.
