Nice game from Bogut - 21/10/2 with 4 blocks and only 1 turnover on 8-14 shooting, and he took a key charge late in the game to secure the victory. He's looking really good now that they're finally running the offense through him.

Bogut is absolutely killing in January and Milwaukee has been playing very well as a result. I really think if the Bucks considered trading Redd and just build around Bogut they would be much better off.

Oh, trust me we know this. Bogut has been dominant the past 10 games. There is really no other word for it. Dominating at both ends of the floor.

Simply a bad game by the Kings... not really how I thought it'd go, even in a loss

Probably will be a short adjustment period with the changes lately.

Solid win for Toronto

For real, it's really been impressive and shows some significant progress. This play recently is what I was expecting over the course of the season by the Cats. Can't fall back to the earlier season play, though. That'd be a little surprising to me if that happens, regardless of home or road location.

Gerald Wallace should be an all-star

Nets are a playoff team right now, and 2 1/2 GB of the Raptors. I wouldn't want to see the Nets in the playoffs, either. Playoffs are different than the regular season for a team like the Nets, generally.

I can understand they're garbage because they're not as good as they should be with the team they have. I think they eventually will be in the middle of the east, though.

i like how you say the tough stretch is ending when the next four games start at new orleans, then you host the grizzlies, spurs, and mavericks

meanwhile we whooped seattle 123-92, chandler with a great game and threw down a monster alley at the end of the third. peja played well with 20 points with 4-6 threes. cp3 had a ho-hum 12 and 11 assists. off the bench bobby jackson was 3-4 from three for 13 points in 20 minutes. pargo was 7-9 shooting, 3-3 from three, with 18 points in his best performance of the season. even the forgotten rasual butler got 8 and 4 trying to play his way back on the floor.

twiggy was 9-15 for 20 points and earl watson played OK. you could make the argument he out-statted cp3 tonight. wally played alright as well

the hornets made 12-22 threes

Royal Ivey I think deserves some recognition for stepping up respectably for Mo Williams, in the win over Atlanta... 9 pts, 8 rebs, 6 ast, and probably solid defense. Knowing Ivey, he may not have some more games like that in his NBA career, if at all. He did have 5 TOs, went 4-13 from the field, and 1-4 from the FT line (lol), but I think this was a take what you can get situation. The negatives here don't matter much anyway.

I'm glad for Ivey.

Yeah, we're happy for him. He's a solid bench player but he should only be playing over 20 mpg when he has games like last night. Mo was just sick, he'll be back for our next game.
