Well I'm not going to get to excited about a home game over the Bucks... they are an impressively bad team, I remember arguing with people who thought they'd be better than us before the season started (the Knicks too).

The three things I did like last night were a) Zaza doing some things right, Bulls game too 2) Acie playing under control and d) Smith putting in effort on D and making nice passes.

I expect Joe to go off on a guy like Redd because he can't play D and I don't get excited when Marv's shot falls. Still the showings from Zaza have been great lately and perfomances like that from Smith are nice because for all the great stat-lines he is capable of putting up, he is one of the few players we have that can change the game by doing the little things.

I will be extremely disappointed if we don't win the next 3 games and I really think we should be able to beat T.O. and Philly at home. The only two games that I won't be unhappy if we lose from here on out are @Philly and against Boston although I think we should be able to make the playoffs with 3 losses from here on out so we'll have a gimme - maybe @Indy or against Orlando.

Redd had a bizarre game. he had 19 points in the first quarter and only 1 pt the rest of the game.

It isn't like he got cold, he just stopped shooting. He took only 10 shots on the game. It almost looks like one of those team squabbles where guys were complaining about him shooting too much so he stopped shooting just to let them see what would happen.

Ivey was 1-7. i don't miss him. I don't understand why he was guarding Childress though.

I get the impression that the guys on Mil don't really enjoy playing with eachother. Its never good for chemistry when you have two shot happy guards on a losing team. I thought we played pretty good D on him too.

That is the impression I got by simply reading the Bucks game threads last night. From reading what the fans said on their every player is in it for themselves.

Wow that clip is priceless. It pretty much sums of the Bucks' season. They need to just bench everyone and go into tank mode like the Heat, none of their starters are trying other than Bogut.
