Okay, third time's a charm here: Pistons 88, Bucks 80

by Packey on Feb 4, 2012 2:13 AM EST in Detroit Pistons Recaps

The Pistons may not have won a game on their back-to-back-to-back, but they finally got to the Milwaukee Bucks on their third try this short season. Detroit avoided an eighth straight loss with an 88-80 win, largely due to their No. 8 overall pick, Brandon Knight. Crazy eights. Hey! Eight ball, will the Pistons still get a draft pick that only has one eyebrow? Maybe? Gr8, cool.

Knight scored 10 points in the decisive second quarter in which the Pistons outscored the Bucks 25-15, and he finished with a career high 26 points and seven assists (and no turnovers!). Greg Monroe had his 12th double-double of the year with a modest 18 points and 11 rebounds.

Detroit held Milwaukee to 35-percent shooting, which was a nice change of pace after allowing opposing teams to shoot 48, 60, 51, 49, 49, 52, and 53-percent during the seven-game losing streak (per the Kool-Lang man).

Vanilla Ice after the jump:

Austin Daye is the worst.
Pistons were 12-for-44 on pick-and-rolls, post ups, and spot ups combined. They were 13-for-18 on transition and cuts.

You know what DBB is missing lately?

dandresden and TDP. I know shit sucks, fellas, but you make it suck less. Stop not being here and making it suck as much as it does.

I find it a bit ironic that

After that big old argument about mister Knight a day or two ago, he goes off and has a game like this.

Maybe he isn’t that bad after all! :D Or maybe I drank too much Kool-Aid… burp

Or maybe he's on DBB?

Austin Daye is the worst.

I’m sick of his shitty play… and looking like a giant 14 year old. It always looks like he’s going to cry. Not as bad as Paul Davis, but I don’t like his face.

All the time relaxed.

nooo...we can't call him the Kool Lang man. That would make him Kool Keith, and there already is one.
