    Michael Redd vs Rip Hamilton
    Redd: 25.1 PPG, 4.6 RPG, 2.9 APG, 44.3% FG 41.6% 3pt 84.6 FT
    Rip: 21.7 PPG 3.3 RPG 3.1 APG 50.9% FG 49.1% 3pt 87.0 FT

    Predictions
    The Bucks come off argueably their worst game of the season Monday vs Houston. The 4th quarter was terrible. If the play like this Wednesday, they'll lose by 40. I think this could be like the Spurs game a week ago....where they'll play very well, but its not enough to beat the best team in the league on the road. I don't think thats the case. Take the Pistons big.


    Pistons 99
    Bucks 78

    This is what I'm talking about. We can take the 34-5 Pistons to OT on their home floor, where they romped on the Spurs earlier this year, but we lose by 10+ to Houston at the BC. This is very frustrating. If we got stomped on by the elite Pistons but took care of business against the teams that are below us, it wouldn't make me mad. That's to be expected with a young, maturing team. The problem is that we're showing signs of challenging the leauge's elite, but then we go out and just bellyflop on some nights. We've got to find some consistency [​IMG]
