Pistons Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Posted on | Thursday, November 25, 2010 | No Comments

The theme through the Pistons' first 15 games has been their open-door policy. Opponents are welcome to attack their interior defense at will, knowing the Pistons don't have the personnel or the toughness to stop them.

The Pistons are surrendering a whopping 46.7 points in the paint on average, the main reason why they have a 5-10 record entering weekend home games against Milwaukee Friday and New York Sunday. Their generosity seems almost limitless. They gave up a season-high 68 points in the lane in a blowout loss at Memphis Wednesday, one night after holding Dallas to 18 paint points.

Detroit was actually leading 50-47 at halftime in Memphis before the defensive breakdowns came on nearly every possession.
