i think they still have it in them. they don't need to travel and playing the bucks is a nice change of pace compared to the lakers defense and twin towers.

My English is getting worse every year.

Bucks are trained by Scott Skiles
Bucks allowed third lowest points on defense last season.
Bucks attemtped third lowest FGA per game last season.


I thought you're suggesting Nuggets will play against not defending fast paced team.

Karl needs to bring in fresh bodies to the court in this one! Can't take these guys lightly at all.

Nene is out tonite vs Bucks, Kosta starting at PF. Bogut will be hard to contain.

Mozgov - Anderson
Kosta - Harrington
Gallo - Brewer
Afflalo - Rudy
Lawson - Miller

Birdman needs another good game like yesterday, Harrington needs to supply scoring, maybe Brewer will get some minutes at SF so Gallo can play some PF?

Terrible defense, giving up 30 against a bad offensive team.

See, give Brewer some minutes, he scores points. Quick 5-0 run to end the 1st qtr.

This may sound crazy, but AAA better start playing like he's worth 43 million...he's got guys wanting his minutes!

I'd love to see Mosgov as a solid, 35-minute a game center, but right now Kosta looks better to me. And it's not very close.

Kosta seems much more polished at this point in his career than Mozgov. Ild far rather have him start with Mozgov coming off the bench and Bird only playing his 15 minutes at home from now on.

Going off our first 6 games of the season, I would like to see minutes distributed as follows:

C - Kosta - 12, Nene - 12, Mozzy - 12, Anderson - 12
PF - Nene - 18, Harrington - 24, Gallo - 6
SF - Gallo - 26, Brewer - 14, Rudy - 8
SG - Afflalo - 28, Miller - 14, Rudy - 6
PG - Lawson - 30, Miller - 14, Rudy - 4

Theres no reason for any of our players to average above 32 mpg when we have a roster thats 11 deep. It keeps all players fresh and the chemistry remains high, players are not as fatigued and the chance of injuries decrease. Some luxuries are:

-We have 4 guys that can play the C pos in Nene, Moz, Birdman and KK.

-We have 3 players capable of playing the PG pos in Ty, Dre and Rudy

-We have 3 players capable of playing PF in Gallo, Nene, Harrington

-We have 3 great wing defenders in AAA, Brewer and Gallo.

This team is 2-3 deep at every position that theres no reason why we cant have fresh legs on the court every quarter. This team doesn't have a 'superstar' but guys that want to play together and win as a 'team'. George Karl did a great job today incorporating everyone (minus Nene) and we got the result we needed. For the 2nd straight game, we closed out the 4th quarter with great defense and were able to finish plays.

I believe Milwakee was a tough team to beat. Great work without Nene.

I agree with most of the guys.

I would like to see a cluster of Kosta Koufos and Birdman and Mozgov with Al or Nene. I believe it better balances offence with Defense in the post.

Kosta was good in defense. He hold his ground against Bogut.

Against teams like the Lakers you will need the 7 footers.
