This is a completely different team from what we have grown accustomed to in the past from the Pistons. They now are looking very much like the University of Connecticut turned pro as Hamilton, Gordon and Villanueva are all key contributors - and that isn't such a bad thing! The trio is averaging 56 points per game through the first two. The Bucks are limited offensively as outside of Michael Redd, there is no genuine scorer on the team. That leads to droughts, and the Pistons do one thing very well - defend. It will tough for the Bucks to stay out of scoring droughts and the added firepower of Gordon is going to make Detroit very tough on the perimeter with Hamilton on the other side. Depth is also an issue for the Bucks, and they have dropped four straight playing on the back end of consecutive nights. I'm going with Detroit here.
