Bucks are actually the 29th ranked offense going by offensive rating rather than PPG.

Although we've been a bit better than that since Maggette and Ersan found their shooting strokes. This game will definitely be won or lost on the wings for you guys. I imagine with your superior length and athleticsim we'll pack the paint and make you shoot a lot of jumpers.

If this is the case, I would hope to see Aminu get more mins with his athleticism. Also curious to see how DJ defends Bogut, whom I expect to have a big game.
EDIT: BTW, I just realized this was my 1000th post. Took long enough.

Thanks Illa and congrats on 1000.
If Gordon were playing, I'd be confident. With him out, there's a lot up in the air to really get a good feel. Foye has played well in Gordon's absence and has averaged 18.7ppg, 3apg, 1.7spg and 40% from the perimeter. We're going to need that type of game from him tonight and pretty much the rest of the way while Gordon is out if we want to remain competitive.

Congrats!
I'm worried about Maggette overpowering our players and causing our bigs to over-compensate and get in foul trouble.

I would also be more confident if Gordon were playing. We need Foye to keep up the scoring, we need to defend, and we need the bench to step up. I don't want to see any more lapses in the fourth quarter. We have won 8 straight home games and I'd like us to extend our streak.

Rhino to be re-evaluated on Wednesday. Still no set return date, but hopes to play soon.
Also, the Staples Centers has been dubbed "The Griffin Observatory" by J.A. Adande.

Blake puts it on the glass over Ilyasova. Clippers up 8-2.

DJ picks up his 1st as Maggette barrels right over him. I want to see where his feet were.

Jordan off the dribble!

I'm off work sick, so I can watch this game. Worked out quite well.

Easy dunk for Blake, turns out to be a wind mill

I don't know, but I like it. We desperately need him on the road trip if we want a slim chance at a playoff spot. Portland is slowly slipping with their injuries, and I don't think we'd need to win as many games as everyone predicts based on current winning percentages.

Man.. a fast break ran by Aminu is always ugly.

Two completely missed fast break opportunities. Come on, guys. We can't do that.

Man the Bucks can shut Bogut out on offense at times.
