Bucks Destroyed By Pistons

As feared the monster that is Andre Drummond totally dominated the Milwaukee Bucks in the paint and on the boards. Drummond snatched 16 boards to go along with his 15 points. And like that was not enough Detroit backup Power Forward Eric Moreland scored 10 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Blake Griffin was held to 8 points on 3 of 10 shooting from the field. But he got 9 boards himself to go along with 7 assists.

The Bucks Destroyed By Pistons in the paint! The Pistons grabbed 57 rebounds and scored 56 points in the paint. That 57 rebounds the Pistons got compares to the only 35 the Bucks got. Anytime the opposite team grabs 22 more rebounds then you and scores in the paint like that your in trouble!

Milwaukee Bucks shot 38% from the field and when your shooting a low percentage like that you can’t afford to be killed on the boards.

Giannis Eye Injury:

The 2nd leading scorer in the NBA and the Milwaukee Bucks poster boy Giannis Antetokounmpo left the game early with eye injuries. We hope that there not that serious and that he’s able to bounce right back and get back to 100%. It really sucks if we lose Giannis for an extended time especially after just getting Jabari Parker back after a year.

The now 7th seeded Milwaukee Bucks get back to action on Friday in Indiana vs the 5th seeded Pacers at 7pm.

Milwaukee, Wi – Tonight the Bucks Lose 107-104 To Wizards at the BMO Bradley center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In a game the Bucks never lead and trailed by 21 points in the First quarter, they managed to make a run in the second half and make things interesting.

The game was highlighted on the Bucks side by Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak had 26 Points, 13 rebounds, 8 Assists and 6 Blocks! Including the monster block pictured in the image above. But he came up short at the end of the game with a turn around shot in the paint that could have tied the game.

The Problem With The Bucks Last Possession:

As I look deeper I could not help but notice the lack of proper execution and play calling on the Greek Freaks potiential game winning shot. Everybody stood around as Giannis battled for position and to get into the paint for the shot. I feel the lineup was wrong and Giannis should have been joined on the floor with 4 other Bucks who were threats to hit an outside shot in an attempt to keep the defense honest.

Disappointing Play:

John Henson was awful in the 4th quarter and costed the Bucks several baskets from not finishing layups or not catching passes at critical points in the game. When Henson replaced Snell the Bucks were on fire and Washington was back peddling but I “The Hook” threw the rhythm off offensively and did little to none on defense and to rebound. We must get better play out of John Henson and the Center position. Guys gotta step up if we hope to truly compete this year in the eastern conference playoffs.

In Closing:

The Bucks Lose 107-104 To Wizards tonight but overall are still 10 and 5 over the last 15 games! They head to Detroit tomorrow to face a Pistons team thats lost 3 straight. The game can been seen tomorrow on FSWI at 6pm.
