What’s real and what’s fake from the Detroit Pistons’ first five games

How will we be grading this?

On a totally arbitrary scale of “not fake” to “totally fake.” The more fake something is, the less likely it is to hold up over the course of the season.

Blake Griffin/Ish Smith shooting over 50 percent from deep: Almost totally fake.

Some regression for Blake Griffin started in the game against Boston already, but more is coming for each of these two.

The only reason that this isn’t totally fake is that it’s certainly within the realm of possibilities that one or both of them are much-improved shooters.
