The Pistons don't expect Michael Redd to have another game like he did Sunday in their playoff opener.

They don't expect him to shoot 4-for-10 from the field.

They don't expect him to score only 11 points.

They don't expect him to commit seven turnovers. Six came in the disastrous third quarter, including two offensive fouls and a strip by Lindsey Hunter that led to an easy basket.

There's definitely a Redd alert in the Pistons' camp. Game 2 is tonight at the Palace, and "I'd be real surprised" if Redd has a second straight off game, said Pistons coach Larry Brown.

"Michael Redd had a phenomenal year, and it's a great matchup, Rip and Michael Redd."

Rip Hamilton won round one with 21 points and eight assists, both team highs.

When Hamilton wasn't hounding Redd, Hunter and Mike James took turns. Redd averaged 24.8 points against the Pistons during the regular season and shot 46.8 percent from the field, 50 percent from three-point range and 89.5 percent from the free throw line.

The Bucks need similar numbers tonight from Redd, who averaged 21.7 points overall for the season.
