Unless youâve been living under a rock for the last few days, you are likely aware of Jalen Durenâs unspectacular Game 1 performance. The Pistons canât win this series without Duren. This season, they led the entire NBA in points in the paint per game (per NBA.com). A big reason why is Durenâs merciless pursuit of shots at the basket. Outside of Giannis Antetokounmpo, no one attempted rim field goal attempts at a higher clip than Duren (he and Zion Williamson were tied for second-place in this category, per Dunks & Threes). In Game 1, Duren only attempted four field goals. A big reason for this was Detroitâs lack of spacing making it easy for Orlando to pack the paint on him. But the thing is, the Pistonsâ spacing concerns are nothing new (29th in 3-point rate during the regular season). I hate to sound like a fake tough guy here, but Duren needs to be the human adonis that he is and fight through the extra physicality and be the biggest man in the room. On defense, Duren has always struggled with defending in space (particularly in the pick-and-roll) and lapses in threat detection around the rim. Those weaknesses were magnified in the first match (*see* the tweet above). Some of this is on head coach J.B. Bickerstaff to put him in better spots, but again, Duren needs to make the classic âplay betterâ adjustment in Game 2 if the Pistons are going to avoid the dreaded 0-2 hole.
