With Tre and Tyus Jones facing off tonight I just want to say that if one of the two was the Wario to the other’s Mario it’s Tyus.

Muscala: “I always felt like there were hard-nosed players here. When I was with the Wiz, we had a camp in LA and we scrimmaged against the Pistons, and I had the same impression.” – 5:57 PM

Asked Muscala what his perception of the Pistons were before he got here: “I always felt like they were hard-nosed players here.”
Said they scrimmaged against Detroit out in LA during the summer. “I still feel that way being here now.” – 5:56 PM

Asked Muscala about being acclimated so quickly, how much verbiage changes from team to team: “There’s some nuance to it, but there’s a lot of similarity. As a big man, I just go to set a screen for somebody.” – 5:53 PM

Muscala’s doing his first postgame presser. “Guys play really hard here and it’s an honor to be a part of that. It was a good game today. We just couldn’t get it done, especially on defense. I was disappointed in my effort there.” – 5:52 PM

Monty on Muscala’s quick adjustment: “He’s one of those guys that can figure things out. He’s smart. He knows when to dive, when to pop. He’s a connector on both sides of the floor. I don’t think it’s anything we’ve done. That’s just who Mike is, he can play with anybody.” – 5:51 PM

Milwaukee has scored nine in a row. Pistons are down 126-121 with 4:40 to play. Detroit’s offense has moved all day with Burks and Muscala on the floor, but Monty subbed them out for the starters. Now Burks is back in, with Bogey, Ausar, Duren and Ivey – 5:21 PM

Mike Muscala, ladies and gentlemen. He knocks down back-to-back 3s to give the Pistons a 106-105 lead over the Bucks.

Bucks have gone 60 seconds without either Dame or Giannis on the floor and Detroit leads after back-to-back Mike Musacala 3s.
Everyone still freaking out about Bagley doing Bagley things in his Wizards debut? – 5:01 PM

On draft night, the first word I ever heard Victor Wembanyam utter as a member of the Spurs — bellow really — was “Bilal!”
He plays against his childhood friend tonight in Washington. On that French reconnection:

As the media glare becomes more intense with each highlight-reel play and stunning statistical performance, Victor Wembanyama remains unaffected.
“I think I can say I’m built for this, but it’s not what I love,” he said of life in the spotlight. #Spurs

If Zach Collins does indeed play tonight, the Spurs will be as close to full strength as they’ve been in more than three weeks. During that span they’ve started playing some of their best basketball, so it’ll be interesting to see what they look like with an actual backup big. – 4:36 PM

Two potential rookies of the year play 36 miles apart today: C.J. Stroud in the playoffs; Victor Wembanyama in a clash of abysmal cellar-dwellers.

Pistons are up nine, 47-38, with 9:17 to play until halftime. They’ve outscored Milwaukee 32-18 since the 4:28 mark of the 1st. Offense found a groove with Muscala setting high screens and hitting 3’s, and he hasn’t left the floor since checking in – 3:49 PM
