Sadly I have a big project due tomorrow that I will be editing for most of the night. So no game for me. I'm hoping Hendo continues to knock off the rust tonight.

I think Hendo's moving back in the starting lineup, probably for Taylor. But please let it be for Mullens. So tried of watching that train wreck.

Thanks LP
for those who have TWC in charlotte, the game was not appearing on preview guide. Its supposed to be on Foxsports south, same as always, but they had some football game listed. Fingers crossed.

Observations.
• The Bucks have dominated this series at home. The Bobcats are 1-13 all-time in Milwaukee.

This suggests Hendo is not starting. Three reserve guards who all deserve 25+ minutes a game.

(Please Use More Appropriate Word) comments in the link. Do not read if you value your IQ and you don't want it to drop 10 points the second you read it.
How sad is it when you have a 1-13 record against one of the forever-below-average franchises like the Bucks?
We are overdue for a big game from someone other than Kemba. Could today be Mullens day again? He went ham on the Bucks last year.

I suppose it's about time I joined you guys on the board during the game. I haven't watched a Cats game live in a while.

From Zach Lowe:
2. Milwaukee's Sudden Mike Dunleavy Pin-Down
Having a shooter run off a screen for a catch-and-shoot opportunity is NBA bread and butter. I can see it in my sleep. But the Bucks have a fun variation for Mike Dunleavy, whose on-the-cheap signing stands as one of the most underrated free-agent moves of the last few summers. It will start with Dunleavy innocently fading to the left corner as the Bucks run a pick-and-roll on the right side. The other two Milwaukee players will be standing next to each other on the left side, opposite the pick-and-roll action, as the play unfolds. And then suddenly, they will bolt together down toward Dunleavy, forming a monster moving double screen around which Dunleavy can cut up toward the foul line, catch a pass, and fire an open jumper. It's a fun variation on a classic NBA action, one that works in part because Dunleavy at the start of things looks to be clearing the right side for a pick-and-roll that is really just a decoy.
Sounds interesting, I will look for this tonight,

I just realized you location said Latvia. Won't it be like 3 in the morning or something? That's pretty inconvenient for NBA games.

Other than some late 4th quarter choking, we've played well the last 2 games. Hopefully tonight won't be a "letdown", assuming we're good enough to have letdown games

If it's a close game then I want to see Dunlap improve on his sideline coaching skills. Such as not using all our timeouts, improving late game lineups, etc. Anyway, a win would be nice..

You're correct, it will be 3.30 AM. What can I say - I'm addicted to basketball.

There may not be two players more alike than Kemba and Jennings.

Ellis & Jennings. Besides, Kemba & Ellis have different mindsets towards the game. Kemba come to win (even though it may take a while for him to start consistently accomplish that feat), while Ellis come to play (get buckets by any means necessary).

I usually stay up for East coast games, wake up for West coast games. I would even say that going to sleep early and waking up for a West coast game at 5:30 AM is easier. It certainly doesn't affect me as much the next day as a night of staying up for a Cats game does.

Where in my post did I say anything about Ellis? Statistically, Jennings and Kemba continue to be ridiculously similar.

To be fair, you could change all the names at random and it would still look true. They're all pretty similar on the surface.

My fault. I don't know why I had Ellis on my mind. I think it's because my homie used to always hype him up back in his GSW days. Excuse my blib

Home cooking, even though the game is on the road - pie number two.
