Pistons playing the back end of a back-to-back. They've lost 22 straight. The Bucks haven't played in 3 days.
Get them down early and make them give up. Don't make them think they have a chance.
Middleton (rest) and Beasley (illness) both out tonight. Giannis was probable with a non-COVID illness, but will play.
Pistons lead by 10 in the 4th quarter last month.

The Pistons are on pace to be one of the worst NBA teams ever. It shows you it's not enough to get high picks, you have to draft guys that can actually play.
The Pistons have 5 guys 24 years old or younger drafted in the top 5 overall. They have another guy 7th overall and another 13th, both under 21.
They are paying Monte Williams, who just started, over 78 million dollars to coach the next 6 years. Right now, the Pistons are 2-22.
Cade Cunningham, 1st overall, 2021
James Wiseman, 2nd overall, 2020 by the Warriors.
Jaden Ivey, 5th overall, 2020.
Killian Hayes, 7th overall, 2020
Ausar Thompson, 5th overall, 2023
Jalen Duran, 13th overall, 2022
Marvin Bagley, 2nd overall by the Kings, 2018. The next 3 players drafted were Doncic, J. Jackson Jr., and Trae Young. Bridges and Gilgeous-Alexander were also after that.,
Bucks up 43-20 after one.
Dame has 15. Giannis has 8 in 8 minutes.
Beauchamp has 9 points in 9 minutes. He absolutely posterized James Wiseman.
The Bucks have to keep the pedal down, but they could easily score 150 tonight if they needed to. The Pistons look like one of the worst teams I've ever seen. Beauchamp looks better than any of their top 5 picks.
Bucks have 54 points in the first 14 minutes.
Bucks were up 28-30 for a long time, but have gotten lazy with the ball and are only up 21 right now with 2:33 left in the first half.
Bucks up 81-56 at the half.
Dame has 23. Giannis has 11-2-5 on 5 shots.

Folks get paid to evaluate talent…all leagues, see Mr Irrelevant in football. Makes me think I could do it from my couch.
Bucks allow the Pistons to open the second half on a 6-0 run to get it to 19.
Bucks up 114-83 after three.
Man, the Pistons are bad. Historically bad.
Listening to the Pistons' broadcasters is hilarious. They are actually good, but hearing them get excited about a guy hitting a 3 to cut the lead to 30 is painful.
Do you some times feel like you are the only one watching?

Many times. I like to talk to myself.
It's beyond belief that Monte Williams is only 2 months into a 6 year, 78 million dollar contract. They basically can't fire him, but they've now lost 23 in a row.
Portis was outstanding. Might be one of his best games as a Buck.
I know it’s Detroit but if Jackson Jr can give you that output offensively and play good defense then it makes Beasley a little more expendable.
