Charley Rosen is sort of hit or miss with me, but I think I'm able to agree here.
MILWAUKEE has responded to Scott Skiles' demand for perfection. R-Jeff has provided a defensive presence to augment Michael Redd's dynamic offense. Luc Richard Mbah a Moute plays better defense than rookies are supposed to play. Charlie V can flat-out score. Luke Ridnour runs the show with a cool hand. And Andrew Bogut doesn't often embarrass himself. Grade: A
20-23 on January 19 is pretty damn impressive for a team that isn't much different than the one that won only 26 games last year. THey're on pace for a 6-8 seed and If they end up higher than the 6 spot, Skiles will get a lot of Coach of the Year talk. This team is vastly improved.
