Got a win in the NBA last night with the Suns, unfortunately wasn't a winning night though, with the Saints loss in the NFL. One for tonight.
PISTONS + 3
EXTRA STRONG 4 1/2 Pt -110 TEASER WARRIORS-1 HAWKS +9
The Bucks are an improved team, they had a lot of injuries last year, so I don't know if they're actually that much improved, but they have Sanders back and got Jabari in the draft, so those are upgrades at their respective positions from last year. And anyone who starts over Nate Wolters at the PG position is and upgrade ha, but I don't feel this bucks team really is as good as their 7-7 record, as I don't feel the Pistons with their roster and talent, are as bad as their 3-10 record. Brandon Jennings is questionable for this game, which means DJ Augustin will probably see more minutes than usual, and as far as running a team, and tempo wise, I prefer DJ over Jennings actually, last year he was a huge spark plug for the Bulls coming off their bench, and Everytime he was in the game, I felt the Bulls ran better together as a team, had more tempo and better pace. Speaking of Jennings he just called out their coach Stan Van, saying they don't practice shooting much in practice, and actually the Numbers Support Jennings thinking. Not going around it, as a team, and some Pistons players shooting % are down below where they should be. For the Pistons, things can only go up from here, with only 3 wins on the season, one of those wins, was against the Bucks earlier on this year, the Pistons do have talent on their roster, and I believe just as much if not more than the Bucks have, it's just comes down to how you play as a team, and everything points to the bucks being the better, hungrier team as of RIGHT NOW, but things always tend to even out, I look for the Pistons tonight to give their best effort against the Bucks, I know it's a lot to ask of this team right now with the way they have been playing up until this point, but when a player calls out a coach, talented players aren't living up to the potential, and things seem like a complete disaster, backs completely against the wall, you will usually get a group of guys coming out swinging, esp against a team, that they have already beat this year, they need a win desperately right now, as I feel the Bucks are probably happy being 7-7. It's still very early in the season, but the Pistons need this way more than the Bucks, and I usually hate that thinking, as every team needs every game they play, but in the NBA it just doesn't always play out that way, guys get up more for some games than they do for others, Bucks looking at the Pistons as a 3-10 garbage team, while the Pistons will be chomping at the bit, to get a win over a team that they know they are very capable of beating again. Call me crazy but I really feel like you will get the best effort from the Pistons tonight, that you have seen all season. No way the Bucks blow out the Pistons tonight, if the Pistons don't win straight up, this game will come down to the last possession, and getting 3 points in this matchup, I feel is the right side. Now you can say well the Bucks will be looking to revenge their earlier loss in the season to the Pistons, but you have a bigger head of steam with the Pistons looking to revenge their whole season.
