Here is some good news and bad...
The Bucks (14-17) have known little other than misery in Texas the past five seasons.
Milwaukee has made two treks to the Lone Star State each season in that time frame, while some Eastern Conference teams play at Dallas, San Antonio and Houston in one road trip. The Bucks, who play at Houston on Wednesday, are 0-10 in the back-to-back games, and 1-14 cumulatively in Texas since the start of the 2003-04 season -- though the lone victory was a 114-107 win at San Antonio on Dec. 26, 2006.
Redd, who is averaging 18.5 points, has been in an offensive funk in his last five games, scoring 14.4 per contest on 30.5 percent shooting (25-for-82). He has averaged 19.6 points in 14 lifetime games versus the Spurs, but has not made a 3-pointer in his last eight games against them.
Even without an injured Redd, Milwaukee beat San Antonio 82-78 on Nov. 12 as the Spurs played without Parker and Ginobili. Bogut had 10 points and 17 rebounds
Through the past 10-plus seasons, the Bucks have been an enigmatic nemesis for the Spurs. Beginning with the 1998-99 season, the Spurs have won 579 games and lost only 239, a win percentage of 70.8 that makes them the most successful pro sports franchise in North America over that time frame. They have won four NBA titles during the same period.
Over the same span, their record against the Bucks, who are 384-435 since the 1998-99 season, is 8-11.
Four times, the Bucks swept the season series against the Spurs, including the 2006-07 season that ended with the Spurs hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
“Milwaukee is one of the teams in the league that has given us the most trouble, historically,” Popovich said after Monday's practice session. “They have had their way with us many times, so I think they'll be coming in quite confidently.”
