Detroit Pistons: Is Dwane Casey to blame for anemic offense?
Detroit Pistons: Why the offense is the players’ fault
In the most recent 117-89 drubbing at the hands of the Bucks, the Pistons shot an amazing 8-of-47 from 3-point range for a whopping 17 percent.
The worst part of this is that most of them were WIDE OPEN.
I can’t remember seeing a team miss that many uncontested shots in my life and just about everyone got a turn.

Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey and Frank Jackson were a combined 0-of-18 from 3-point range last night. In fact, every single player on the active roster took at least one 3-point shot except for Isaiah Stewart and Luka Garza and only Jerami Grant, Trey Lyles and Killian Hayes actually made one.
That makes for 10 players who failed to make a single 3-point shot.
Dwane Casey’s motion offense is built around getting and making open 3-point shots and right now only half of that equation is happening. You can blame Casey if you want, but he is not the one shooting all of these bricks.
But that leaves the question, if the Detroit Pistons can’t shoot 3-pointers, then why are they taking so many?
