The Pistons haven’t won for almost two weeks and the trade deadline is tomorrow.

A golden opportunity for all of that to change.

The Bucks left the Palace like so many visiting teams this season-victorious. The typical 4th quarter comeback attempt showed up right on schedule, but like so many times this season-it failed.

I’m all in support of Antonio McDyess moving into the starting five, but when the closest starter scores 14 points less than he does, it’s never a good sign. McDyess is on the floor for gritty rebounds and occasional jumpers from 15-20 feet. He is not Rip Hamilton or Allen Iverson. The burden of go-to offense should not be on his shoulders. It’s not his job.

He made it a respectable game though, if nothing else.

The bigger concern is: will Detroit have the same lineup tomorrow night?
