Chase to 50: Bucks vs Pistons

Finally a game I could go to, and a big one at that. The game plan was to get close seats from the get-go, so I went and sat in the lower level right away. I managed to score a seat in the third row one section off the bench (203), absolutely awesome seat. I love it when I can hear the coaches yelling and the players talking on the court. Sadly, the people that sat in those seats showed up at half-time. I moved a few rows back in the same section, thanks to the help of a few off-duty FBI Federal Marshals that I had got to know over the course of the game.

Game-wise things were okay. As has been the story of the Bucks losses, poor shooting was killing the Bucks for most of the game. They played fairly well for spurts, but couldn't close out the game at any point. Michael Redd, who played a medicore first half, absolutely exploded in the second half. During one stretch he scored ten unanswered points and put the Bucks right back in the game with the powerhouse Pistons. Unfortunately two jump shots (both misses) by Dan Gadzuric, that should not have been taken, ended Redd and the Bucks' run. This is where more playing together and improved coaching would have helped put the Bucks over the top, Gadzuric has to know he shouldn't be shooting in these situations.

Ultimately, the Bucks lose.
