Omari Sankofa II: Ron Holland is out tonight with left knee soreness, JB said. Will be his first missed game due to injury. Not sure if it’s longterm. “He took a fall last game and the adrenaline was able to carry him through. We’re going to get an image done in Sacramento and see what’s next.”
Brown, who was locked into the game, didn’t immediately notice what happened. When he did, “I was a little bit embarrassed. And then I got mad at myself for being embarrassed at all.” “After a while, it was like, ‘Those dudes should be grateful.’” [A hair product on his head would also leave marks on Detroit Pistons player Ron Holland and Washington Wizards player Kyshawn George in the following days.] “They're lucky that I left my mark on them. I should get a thank you card: You have the residue of a champion on you. You're welcome.'"

As the Detroit Pistons enter a new chapter with a retooled front office and fresh talent, Mahorn sees signs of real cohesion. “It seems that they have a togetherness about them,” said Mahorn. “It seems like the veteran leadership is very contagious with Tobias Harris, Malik Beasley and Tim Hardaway Jr. and then the rookies are responding with Ausar Thompson and Ron Holland.” “You gotta credit — it starts from the top. Trajon [Langdon] did a great job coming in his first GM year to hire a guy like J.B. Bickerstaff… His record has shown. Nobody gives him that type of credit from Houston and when he took over Cleveland. He has a pedigree with his dad, Bernie Bickerstaff. I’ve known him since he was a kid. And so to see his relationship with the players is more about making sure they’re on the right page.”
It will be the first playoff experience for everyone else in J.B. Bickerstaff’s normal rotation – Cunningham, Jalen Duren, Ausar Thompson, Ron Holland II, Isaiah Stewart and Simone Fontecchio. The Pistons privately talked about getting to the playoffs long before anyone thought it possible and they’ve adopted a one-day-at-a-time focus with the long-term goal of having it pay off in a playoff berth. But Bickerstaff knows enough about playoff basketball to know that no matter how long and hard his young players have thought about the experience, they won’t truly appreciate the essence until wading into the waters. “It’s a completely different basketball game,” he said. “And until you’re in it, it’s hard to understand it. We’ve been through this before. At some point in time, we were all kids and didn’t listen to our parents, either, and didn’t figure it out until we experienced it on our own. That’s what the playoffs are. We can tell guys what to expect, but until we experience it you don’t understand just how different it is from an intensity standpoint, from the execution of schemes, the importance of possession-by-possession basketball.”
