not seeing the floor thus far. It's a shame, with the way he played last year. They are going with Ridnour so far at the point... Another tragedy with the way the Bucks are constructed, is that Bogut is getting ignored again - the only touches he gets are from offensive rebound (he's getting a lot!) This guy is skilled and a hard worker... they need to keep him involved in the game - but with Redd and Jefferson I dont think he's gonna get enough shots up.

looks like tyronn Lue is in the game now... sessions has really fallen deeply in the depth chart. Mbah Moute, Adrian Griffin, and Tyronn Lue are above him in the depth chart - for his sake, I hope he's injured right now.

Celtics game has been so boring I switched to the Leafs game. Forgot all about the Bulls game. Urgh. I believe TSN is calling themselves the home of the Raptor. Only saw the commercial for a couple of seconds.

I hope people are watching the bucks-bulls; Bogut is putting on a display right here. Great back to the basket game, Great offensive rebounder, and has sweet vision - finding the open man, creating good shots for their perimeter players (Ridnour, Redd, Jefferson). This team can be good when they realize their strengths.

Wow who is this Moute rookie on the Bucks. He's looks like a great defender, and has some great offensive moves too.

I like bigs as much as the next guy, but Bogut isn't the story of this game.

very true. I just really like Bogut i guess, he's a very traditional, skilled big man. He is suffering from foul trouble though, stemming from his intensity and aggression - I looked at the box score, and he's not really doing great - he's impact the game off the box score i guess.

What is the story of the game for you then, D. Rose? He has been very impressive to me to say the least. He needs a jumper, it's true - but every other aspect of his game is pretty NBA ready or better.

Anyone else think Chicago has really good commentators? If Devlin and Co. can become this once he gets used to the team, I think it would be perfect.

Lebron needs to hit free throws. Choked away this game.

But man has Rose looked great against the Bucks.

He rushed a three pointer and forced the issue on the block both misses with less than a minute left as well.
