Bucks/Jazz - 1/14/08

[okanoho]

be happy that their SG and SF are not the type of player that have the offensive skill that will eat our SF and SG alive offensively, but expect that our SG and SF will have a hard time to score =p just on paper

btw, brewer 54%FG this year =O so high

Ivey 40.6
Bell 34.5
Simmons 41.0
Williams 47.7
Redd 44.3
Yi 45.2
CV 43.1

wow
i wish we have player that know when to put up a shot
MO is winning by far who know when to put up a shot

[bayrdbandit]

unfortunately the jazz play solid team basketball, so the weaker spots on the floor aren't as weak. i expect another loss, but a dignified loss similar to the last two.

If our coaches to our strengths we can win this as long as we keep Devon quite. A major problem for us is Carlos Boozer, he could kill Yi and Yi will not match up to Okur so Bogut could be in foul trouble early as he tries to cover both in the paint.

If Redd and Mo control Williams and make it hard for him to get the ball into Boozer and Okur

IIRC Okur is mainly a perimeter guy so I would put Bogut on Boozer and let our PF's guard Okur.

If we play like we have the past 2 games I expect a win. Both LA and PHX are superior teams to the Jazz, and I like Bogut with Okur defending him. The key is Defense, Yi really needs to control Boozer as mentioned because if Bogut is constantly guarding two guys the fouls will flow, Bogut also can't be dragged out of the middle to guard Okur's 3 as he'll have to pick up the slack from the 4 so I suspect we'll spend most of the night in a zone (shudders). Our guards really need to control Deron as well and limit his passing into the interior.

On offense the gameplan should be simple. Allow Yi and CV to hit a few jumpers early to drag their 4 out of the middle, and apart from that dump it in low and let Bogut go to work. If he can own Amare he can definitely own Memo

Might as well make this the game thread.

I hope so, Bogut should be able to shoot that hook over him all night if thats the case. Boozer is 6'9

ya i am just guessing
since yi-cv and okur are all perimeter anyways
that will be another story if we start ruffin tomorrow night
but... hahaha would that be risky

[BucksRuleAll22]

Im pumped for this game, Jazz is my fav team to watch.

I dont care what the websites say, Boozer is 6ft8 at best, but he will get his offensively.

I am looking for Bogut to score in the low post, while defensively it will be paramount that whoever is on Boozer takes one for the team and boxes out, allowing Okurs man to crash the boards.

If this is the case, Bogut may have a low statistical rebounding night as he is best designed to box out against Boozer, allowing CV and Yi to freeling compete for boards against the poorer rebounder in Okur.

Bingo, bango.

We actually might to do okay here if we can do anything with Deron defensively.

Have to think (agree with) dignified loss, though.

[Hikari]

Look for Boozer to rotate to the top of the key. Okur to step out to the three, and DWill to post up MoWill.

I would like to say look for our coach to react and put Ivey or Charlie Bell on DWill then to counter the post up but alas, our coach is dumb so he will probably just let Mo get torn up by DWill's post ups for most of the night. Thats how we do it in Milwaukee.

[jerrod]

mo doesn't usually get hurt by post ups too much

we just have to do a decent job on the pick & roll, we won't stop it but if we can make it less of sure basket, keep everyone else to near their averages and get some decent bench production.

i think we can win

[Buck You]

I'm predicting a career game by Paul Milsap because well, that's just what happens against the Bucks.

[cocheesetim]

Jazz by 16.

Jazz are one of the toughest teams at home. Okur is finally healthy and the Bucks have not played well in SLC for a long time.

Boozer is 6-8 barefoot which is easily 6-9 in NBA terms. He's also huge with very long arms for his height... he's not disadvantaged vertically at all.
