STAN VAN GUNDY. B. It’s hard for me to quantify Van Gundy’s impact on Jackson and Drummond. Obviously, when those two play well, this team is good. When they do not, it’s quite hard to watch. Both may be slumping simultaneously and maybe tonight was the breakout for both? Who knows. Maybe Van Gundy is pushing the right buttons now. I do know the Pistons defense <em>needs</em> to improve if they want to put together a pre-break run. The shooting issues will cure themselves, at least reverting back to where they were earlier in the year, but the defense is an issue. They allowed another 30-plus point quarter to the Nets and have made it a habit of falling apart for at least one quarter a game. That’s a trend they need to buck, but I’m sure this is something Van Gundy know. He just needs to figure out how to fix it.. Head Coach. Pistons
