About the Pistons: Detroit has lost six of its last eight games, with the two victories coming against New Jersey. The Pistons fell by a 24-point margin at Indiana on Friday before beating the Nets, 99-92, on Saturday to snap a five-game home losing streak. Rookie forward Jonas Jerebko went 9 for 9 from the field, including a pair of three-pointers, and finished with a team-high 20 points and nine rebounds. Reserve forward Jason Maxiell added 13 points and six rebounds. The Pistons have a trio of former Connecticut players on the roster - Richard Hamilton, Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. Hamilton led the 1999 Huskies team that won the NCAA title, while Gordon and Villanueva were teammates on the 2004 national championship squad.

PLAYER TO WATCH
CHARLIE VILLANUEVA, Pistons

The former Bucks forward has started just 16 of 46 games in his first season in Detroit after signing a multiyear contract during the summer. Villanueva is averaging 13.8 points and 5.3 rebounds while playing 26.8 minutes per game. Back spasms kept Villanueva out of the lineup in two of the last four games, but he returned Saturday against New Jersey and scored 12 points in 17 minutes. He was 4 for 7 from the field and went 4 for 4 from three-point range in the second quarter. Villanueva's season-high game was a 30-point effort against Charlotte in November.

Much as I like Charlie V, being a former Buck and all, I don't he is the player to watch. I think the player to watch is Stuckey.

easily the worst quarter of basketball i have seen this year, 4-26 shooting, 9 points in the first quarter, they are lucky they are still in this

And a crappy fourth quarter. Just some awful basketball to open and close out the game.

im pretty sure we are the last NBA team that is still intimidated by the Pistons

Terrible shooting performance tonight.

Sigh a game we should have won, lost, and a game the Badgers should have won, lost.

Just trying to depress me even more with that reminder?

Here I though the Pistons could surprise us by shooting lights out, and then the Bucks just are cold.

Also, let me point out that I totally called CV not being the player to watch. 0 points, 4 rebounds, 3 fouls, and 1 turnover in 18 minutes.
