Knight used to always get up against Kyrie because he had a chip on his shoulder. I wonder how he does against Jennings. I think we should win. They might cause some matchup problems.

I hope we continue the big 3 lineup to see if it can keep finding success. If not, I hope Butler starts at SF and Moose at PF. I would be fine with either one. The Bucks suck and we're at home so I expect a win. I will be really disappointed if we blow these next two games at home against bottom feeders and our chance to get back to .500.

Im going to snap if Drummond ends up in foul trouble once again. He needs a big game to pad those stats lol.

I expect this to be a win hopefully without the near collapse at the end

Well MIL doesn't have a low post threat so that should help. If Dre just boxes out he should win that matchup with Sanders. Monroe should feast on Ilyasova but I'm worried about Monroe not defending his 3 point shot well enough. We will see. Parker should be like an easier version of Melo to guard for Smith. Hopefully our 3 bigs impose their will early on a poor defensive frontcourt (other than Sanders).

I expect Brandon Knight to come out on a mission. I hope Jennings is feeling like a duel, can be fun to watch. Dre and Larry sanders will be in each others faces.

I expect it to be a close game....I've watched Milwaukee quite a bit this season and they battle. Just yesterday they went down the stretch with Chicago, just couldn't close it out. Chicago's front court really went to work against them, ours need to do the same. Both Drummond and Smith need to both snap out of the funks they're offensively and Drummond needs to stay out of foul trouble. Regardless though, I think the most important thing is outside shooting....if we shoot well from outside, I think it's a win.

Should be a good watch.

I'll take the Over on all the bets, but they're nice lines :lol:. If Knight has one of them 20/7/8 games vs Jennings, that'll be funny for Bucks fans.
Let's hope that Drummond gets his **** together, like KCP did last game :). Big Game!

Is Monroe or Smith now scheduled to start? News on Martin?

Last time I watched them match up Jennings took a **** on Knight and then I learned why we traded for him.

the starters should be announced about an hour or two before tipoff, but regardless of the starters i'd expect the big 3 to play 30-35 minutes each, depending on foul trouble obviously.


as for martin, he didn't practice today so i'd personally list him as doubtful. an interesting quote from SVG, 'he (meeks) still can't do a whole lot. Though he does as much as Cartier does."

meeks is still about a month away from returning, so maybe martin's injury is worse than initially thought. plantar fasciitis is an ugly injury to have from what I've heard. not that any injury is preferable, but foot injuries are especially ugly.

That's true, plus Knight has started this season really well.

Jennings also played well against the Bucks last season, he averaged 21 & 10 against them on around 50% shooting.

Also remember this :lol:

You either don't watch the games or don't understand basketball at the NBA level.

I've watched some Milwaukee games this season. This is a team that plays hard and competes. They definitely look more competent than last season.

This isn't going to be an easy win for Detroit, but they have the advantage up front. But, Milwaukee definitely has the better perimeter shooting.
