Yi's been playing good basketball of late..

Bucks should win, however.

Is Harris going to be playing? He didn't play last night against Memphis because of a sore right hamstring.

LOL I love the Danny Almonte reference. Bucks should win this one by at least 5

Bogut is likely out according to MJS.

This is a likely loss. Actually, it's a loss for sure. I see now way we win tomorrow.

Surely RJ has this date circled on his calendar.

There's no way we lose to an average team without their best player? I mean predicting a loss is one thing, but we're not playing Cleveland here (who we've won against)

I think the Nets are a lot better than their record (many are known to use the same logic here).

Vince is playing out of his mind this year, as well as Devin. Lopez is playing well, and they are playing well as a team. Especially without Bogut, I don't see any way we win tomorrow.

Oh wouldn't that have been great if Bogut played?

Bogut v Lopez....

PP would love to see that.

Bob Simmons busts out in this one. I'm saying 7 points and 2 boards. Without Bogut this could be a struggle, but if Devon Harris is not playing I like our chances. I think RJ either has a great game, or it will be the exact opposite where he is so geared up that he forces stuff and blows up. Hope he keeps it all in check. I'm curious to see the reaction Yi gets. I would suspect an above average crowd since its a Friday night and bobblehead giveaway. Need this one though. I'll say...

Bucks 101
Nets 97

Bobby Simmons goes for 47 and 13-15 on threes

NJ has a better record away (10-6) than at home (8-12) which is an oddity. I guess that somewhat diminishes the homecourt advantage.

Can somebody please record Bobby Simmons being introduced so we can hear how loud he is booed?

Hahaha yeah, they should be pretty loud. Does he start though? I don't think he does. But I'm sure he'll come into the game at some point.

Bobby Simmons is going to have an off night due to fatigue. Hookers in the Milwaukee area have been popping up like hotcakes since his trade, he has a ton of punching to do tonight....

I'm actually more interested to hear the kind of reactions that Yi will get.
