Cade with 36 on 20 shots. Just didn’t have enough other people show up. Holland did nuthin.

Bad defense. Stew really is the lynchpin against scoring bigs like Giannis. Without him, it’s ugly.

Yesterday he was getting hit a lot, but he was also diving on the floor for every loose ball. I guess some come with the territory, but he got hit in the face right in front of the ref at least twice.

Some tough calls but the Bucks are always an ugly match up for us. I think we'll overtake them in the near future... but won't be today.

Stewart is absolutely huge for this teams defensive continuation. Without him, it shows, big time.

Also, this game means very little for the Pistons. Its huge for the Bucks, as they don't want to play the Knicks.

Bucks posters whining about the reffing, is just a ridiculous take.

Bucks-27FTA
Pistons-18FTA

Did they want triple the amount of free throws? Quadruple? Pistons are one of the very few teams that have a legitimate gripe about free throw attempts. I know that foul a bunch, but the opposing team never does.

I’ll be very surprised if the Pacers don’t run these old guys out of the gym in the first round, without Lillard in particular.

Giannis definitely got a few favorable calls for some very non-basketball looking shooting motions. And then the Holland "backcourt violation" that wasn't. Also a few other non-calls on our guys. Bucks fans are deluded.

Interesting wrinkle to end the season - Beasley's 7 threes tonight bring his season total to 312, while Ant only got 1 to bring his to 313. The outright leader is totally up for grabs but there's a reasonable chance that Beasley (and a lot of our other main guys) are rested for the final game.

Bucks did all talking and touching while Stewart wasn't playing. Yeah, perfect timing! Great season Pistons. Let's get ready for the playoffs now

He also produced - quite possibly- the most cringeworthy taunt in the history of mankind. I can never unsee that. It was just weird.

I thought GA's taunt was awesome. It would have been even better if I were a Bucks fan. Hopefully Beas comes out Sunday and drains 10 threes, and gets all the shimmy's in a win.
