Have to roll as very busy capping and shopping. Looks like Pistons blowout, again. Bucks looked like deer standing in headlights, had to use that one, and have no answers for either side of the ball. Pistons practically stood in paint scoring, getting 50 points in the paint. I think frontline, even bench shot 60%. They averaged 27 a quarter and toyed with defenseless Bucks. I know this is a stretch, but I feel, and when I look this roster over, it is the worst defense in the playoffs. Worse than NY and Celts. And then they have no point guards with size or quickness, and that makes entry passes easy to Detroit big men standing in paint. Bucks added Van Horn, lost all defense in one trade. Close season real bad, I was going to hammer series price against them until they fell all the way to 6. Redd just can't get the ball, in the right spots, all most of that is Pistons D. Some is guards. Even if they get by gambling Piston backcourt, Nasty frontline is guarding hoop. No easy baskets against one of the more dominant defenses I have seen in some time. I saw nothing entire game that suggest this will change. Would go with early first half over but real afraid of this D. Think key is Bucks non existent defense, especially high % in the paint. Pistons team over 94 is one spot. Biggest lead 17 1/2 is another, made it to 30 first game. Like Rip plus points over Redd, who was the biggest 1 season if not 1/2 of season All Star ever. He gets shutdown by good defenses, see him against Indy, same results. looking for angles in the noncompetitive East, and this game has the best chance of staying the same as last. Best Wishes...OF
