Milwaukee February 2nd, 8:00PM
TV - (Local) TV 20, NBALP

After a month of playing .500 ball (8-7 in January) the Pistons start off February hosting the Milwaukee Bucks who had a dismal month (2-13) in addition to losing their all star guard Michael Redd early in January.

If we can lay the smack down on VC and Kidd we can destroy the Redd-less bucks. Sheed should be able to destroy anyone they put on him and Bogut doesnt have the smarts to stop Webber from getting some good looks and passing lanes. BBBBBillups and RIIIIIIIIP should have big games after being named all stars, and maybe Tayshaun will step it up to prove one day he can be one.

Mo Williams is playing out of this world right now. We will have to contain baby Darko, Ersan Ilyasova.

Need another strong effort. Bogut will try to out muscle and out hustle Webber. We might need Double D (Tazer batteries) to take "the starch" out of the young Aussie.

No win has been easy this season. Hopefully our guys don't think it's easy as that is when they don't start playing until the 4th quarter.

Have fun.

The New Jersey one was a piece of cake.

First half review.

Pistons came out flat, lesser opponent and home court, these guys were just trading baskets and going through the motions.

2nd quarter things get interesting. Flip rests several starters, but the bench is a mess. Rip and Tayshaun used over Lindsey at the point, Hunter played off guard and wasn't asked to run the offense.

Maxiell got some significant time but stank. He was low energy, lousy at establishing any kind of rebound position, and blew yet another dunk. The dunk he definitely should have made. This is getting to be a bad habit.

Sheed and Webber helped to balance out over-Billups-izing the ball, Delfino covered wee little Earl Boykins, and surprising did quite a good job at it.

Dan Gadzuric of the Bucks beat up on Antonio McDyess, so Sheed has taken it upon himself to make Gadzuric his personal female dog.

Rip moving well got banged up good one time. Tayshaun ok, sad to see Rueben Patterson hammering him, but Tay's light in the pants and in bad need of a home cooked meal for the love of pete.

Billups was his usual self. A wonderful talent who makes some boneheaded plays. For every bad play CB made, he made an equally excellent one.

Should be an exciting second half. We have racked up fouls on Villaneuva and Gadzuric. But we have to stop their 3 pointers. The Bucks have 5 trey bombs so far.
