Pistons vs. Bucks GameThread: Game time, TV, odds, and more

Remember when the Detroit Pistons fired Stan Van Gundy and there were rumors they wanted to make a big play to hire Mike Budenholzer? That was fun. Budenholzer, of course, had his pick of NBA jobs and he decided to go elsewhere in the frigid midwest — to the land of Giannis and the Milwaukee Bucks. Now, coach Bud has the Bucks playing the NBA’s stingiest defense and powered by Antetokounmpo and a stable of shooters a sixth-ranked offense. The Pistons have Dwane Casey, Andre Drummond and a pit of misery and despair. Let’s play ball!
