The Bucks penciled Villanueva into their starting lineup after they acquired him from the Raptors for T.J. Ford, but he hasn’t produced the way they thought he would. Villanueva has played in 29 games and he has averaged 26.0 minutes, 12.2 points and 6.3 rebounds per game this season. In his defense, he did miss a lot of games due to injury but that doesn’t excuse him looking lazy on the court. He has shot well this season as he’s hit 47.7% from the floor and 81.4% from the free throw line. The Bucks need Villanueva to step up in the paint and help out Andrew Bogut on the glass or it’s going to be a very long season for the Bucks.

The Bucks got outrebounded 44-35 by the Nuggets and that hurt them last night. Earl Boykins played an inspired game against his old team as he scored 26 points, grabbed 2 rebounds, dished out 6 assists and hit 6 of 7 shots from three point range. Maurice Williams had a poor shooting game as he hit only 6 of 20 shots from the floor but he still wound up with 16 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

Many thought that trading T.J. Ford to the Toronto Raptors was a risk because Maurice Williams has never really been the starter for a full season for the Bucks. But, he has been one of the best and most consistent players on the Bucks roster this season. Williams is averaging 18.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He also has shot very well for a guard this season as he’s hitting 45.2% of his shots from the floor, 33.1% from three-point range and 83.9% from the free throw line. He’s even stepping up his scoring more as of late with Michael Redd out and that’s really helped the Bucks out.

The Bucks got outrebounded 71-49 last night and that was to much to oevercome in the end. Maurice Williams had another great game running the offense with 30 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Ruben Patterson also had an awesome game with 28 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 steals.

The Bucks shot very well last night as they hit 50.6% of their shots from the floor. Ruben Patterson led the way for the Bucks with 27 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 steals. Earl Boykins had a solid game with 24 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals. Charlie Villanueva had a solid game with 22 points and 9 rebounds. Charlie Bell had a good game too with 20 points and 6 rebounds.

The Bucks didn’t play any defense last night as they allowed the Heat to hit 54.2% from the floor. The Bucks also failed to show up for the second half of the game last night as the Heat outscored them 68-45! Maurice Williams was awesome last night! He scored 38 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, dished out 7 assists and stole the ball 3 times. Charlie Villanueva also had a solid game with 16 points and 11 rebounds.

None of the four rookies on the Bucks current roster is shooting over 40% from the floor. The best one of the bunch has been forward Ersan Ilyasova. Ilyasova has played in 35 games and is averaging 14.9 minutes, 5.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists. Ilyasova is shooting 35.7% from the floor and 31.8% from three point range and those are pretty poor percentages.

Small forward David Noel is next in line for the Bucks. He has played in 35 games and is averaging 10.0 minutes, 2.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists. Noel has hit only 39.5% of his shots from the floor and he’ll need to improve that if he wants to stick around in the NBA.

Forward Damir Markota has played in 20 games and is averaging 3.8 minutes, 1.4 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.2 assists. He’s only hit 39.3% of his shots from the floor, but in fairness to him, he hasn’t played a lot of minutes.

Guard Lynn Greer hasn’t played very much for the Bucks. He’s played in 10 games and is averaging 6.9 minutes, 1.7 points, 0.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists. He has only hit 30.4% of his shots from the floor.

The Bucks just didn’t play good enough last night to deal with the Pistons in Detroit. Andrew Bogut had an awesome game with 21 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists. Ruben Patterson had a solid game with 16 points and 6 rebounds. Maurice Williams was a little off with his shot as he only hit 4 of 13 from the floor. He wound up with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.

The Bucks fell to 18-29 on the season with this loss. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270202008
