Auburn Hills — It’s a simple proposition in basketball: Find open shots, take them and make them. In the first eight games, it hasn’t been quite that simple for the Pistons.
They’ve gotten the open shots, but making them has proven to be much harder than just hoisting them up. Blake Griffin is their only regular player who is shooting at least 50 percent from the field and one of only two regulars who is hitting above 35 percent on 3-pointers.
The old adage is that it’s a make-or-miss league — and the Pistons are landing on the wrong side of that saying.
