I gotta agree with that. Both teams worked on different things.

Milwaukee worked on winning (no joke) and Detroit looked like it was just playing an exhibition and testing roster spots.

I thought Glyniadakis was not as slow as advertised, but as the new Human Victory Cigar is not getting anywhere near enough time to make a case for himself and mostly runs around like a chicken with his head cut off (seen that for real once, it's crazy!).

Acker was steady, there were lots of turnovers caused by poor execution and lack of movement. It seemed like most of the second string were sleep walking at times and didn't have the benefit of first unit chemistry to make up for that (first unit was just funnin' around for the most part).

J-Max was impressive late, bulling his way to the basket and absolutely terrorizing the rim. I am so anxious to see how he develops over the next 2 years. That kid is a keeper. Joe wasn't kidding when he said that Maxiell has Pistons DNA. He's just a baby Piston at this point.

Evans was quite good. He could have really benefitted from having Arroyo or Delfino on the court with him (DNP along with Dice and Davis). I think his jump shooting was solid enough to create some space for Dupree to work closer to the basket.

Since no one else has a comment, and LanierFan will not be recapping the game as he apparently didn't get it, that's all from me. I'm providing my take more out of obligation than inspiration. It was slightly more exciting to watch than a scrimmage.

Before I go for good tonight, you have to give the Bucks props. TJ Ford was deadly on his jumpshots and his speed to the rim adds a dimension the Bucks missed last year. Bobby Simmons looks serviceable and Gadzuric is the kind of player who quietly puts up double doubles every second game.

Maurice Williams was very good as well, with Blaha and Laimbeer commenting that he could fill the combo guard (Vinnie Johnson) role as a 6th man.

Bogut looks like he is still trying to find himself and is nowhere near as polished as I was led to believe (don't drink the draft koolaid!). Nonetheless, he played hard and tried to get to the ball/rim when the opportunity presented itself.

I'm excited to see how Desmond Mason benefits from the return of TJ Ford. Des still doesn't have a jumper, but with Ford setting him up for finishes, this could be a career year for him.
